"A Federal Court justice has halted the deportation of a non-binary American in a ruling that criticized Ottawa’s Immigration Department for not properly considering the situation of LGBTQ Americans since U.S. President Donald Trump took office.
"Angel Jenkel, a 24-year-old multimedia artist from Minnesota who is engaged to a Canadian, can now remain in Canada while their case is judicially reviewed, in a judgment that their lawyers hailed as precedent-setting."
Yes. Minnesota is the only state more pro-trans than California. If Angel goes home, they are going to use "he" and "him" on xir until xir has a concussion or is bleeding out.
Refugee status for brutal use of pronouns!
"Non-binary" is rubbish. As are "gender-fluid", "genderqueer", etc.
ReplyDelete"Transgender" is real. A few (very very very few) people have neurological gender identities that don't match their physical genders. That inner gender identity is as rigid as Procrustes' bed - requiring mutilation to fit.
So-called non-binary people merely want to behave outside gender "norms" of their culture. Which aren't actually tied to gender. A woman who likes working on cars isn't "masculine". A deferential man is not "feminine".
