In January 2025, a transgender man from Wisconsin applied for asylum in Canada with the hope of attaining permanent refugee status. The person, who is biologically female, had visited the country several times prior and had even gotten engaged to a Canadian. But after a year and a half of asylum proceedings, the applicant was met with rejection: just a couple of weeks ago, the Federal Court issued a decision green-lighting the individual’s deportation.
A new Statistics Canada report says Canada is becoming less accepting of gender diversity.
In 2025, 77 per cent of women and 70 per cent of men surveyed said they agreed or strongly agreed that people should be free to express their gender however they choose.
That’s a drop from 2018, when 85 per cent of women and 78 per cent of men agreed.

Within the span of about a day, two former NBA players announced that they intend to enter the 2027 WNBA draft. Yes, the “W” NBA, where the W stands for “Women’s.” The first to announce his intentions was Enes Kanter Freedom, a 6-foot-10, 250-pound center who played in the NBA for 11 seasons and averaged 11.2 points and 7.8 rebounds per game. Then, on the heels of Freedom’s announcement, Royce White, a 6-foot-8, 270-pound former Houston Rockets first-round pick, announced similar plans.

Three disturbing stories of children that were allegedly preyed upon by greedy hospitals and doctors — and encouraged as minors to undergo gender-care treatment — were outlined in the Department of Health and Human Services’ bombshell “Wolves in White Coats” report Thursday.
Here are their stories.
Aryna Sabalenka, the best women’s singles tennis player in the world, joined the ranks of pro-women professional athletes on Aug. 2 by standing up for keeping men out of women’s sports.
“I think it’s really important to keep fairness in our tour,” she said in a press conference. “It would not be really fair for the women to compete against biological men.”
An American transgender refugee is back in the United States after spending a period inside a dangerous Islamic asylum center in the Netherlands, but she’s still not happy with the US.
Jane-Michelle Arc, 48, fled to Ter Apel, the Netherlands’ largest refugee camp, after Trump was re-elected in 2024 – saying that she feared for her safety as a trans woman living in America.
She claimed asylum in the European country – and while she endured tough conditions in the sqaulid camp where stabbings and attacks are commonplace, she came to the realization that she actually wanted to return to her native California.
As pride month celebrations take place across Quebec, political candidates from sexual and gender-diverse backgrounds who are running in the fall provincial election are sounding the alarm over a flood of hateful messages targeting them.
Québec solidaire says it’s currently facing a wave of online hate of “exceptional” and “alarming” proportions targeting its 2SLGBTQ+ candidates.

But then there are many strange things happening for unknown reasons or causes in Mysterious Canada.

A North Carolina elementary school is facing backlash after parents discovered a transgender music teacher was educating students while wearing a dress, causing a bitter divide.
Middle Creek Elementary School in Apex, near Raleigh, went back to school on July 30, where students were met with a new music teacher, who is a ‘transgender biological male, who dresses as a woman,’ State Representative Erin Paré said in a statement.

Former NBA player Royce White plans to declare for the 2027 WNBA Draft and claims he now identifies as transgender — the second former pro to test the league’s policy on trans athletes.
White, 35, a Republican candidate for US Senate who only played three games in his short NBA career, made the announcement on Friday on the heels of former first round draft pick and Knicks center Enes Kanter Freedom’s declaration earlier in the day.
Dueling court orders regarding men who claim to be women serving time in federal prison have resulted the Department of Justice creating a sex-segregated wing in a women’s prison to house the men.
The Justice Department, through the Bureau of Prisons (BOP) is seeking to transfer every male inmate claiming to be female in the country to one female-only prison — Federal Medical Center (FMC) Carswell in Fort Worth, Texas — after one federal judge blocked an executive order to remove “trans”-identifying men from female prisons, and another federal judge ordered those men to be segregated from the women.
Critics slam Tim Hortons Harry Potter promotion as un-Canadian, anti-trans
The reaction online is, perhaps, not as magical as Tim Hortons had hoped.
But when the coffee chain announced its new Harry Potter menu and merchandise on Monday — a celebration of the “beloved” movie franchise’s 25th anniversary, according to the company’s press release — the backlash from the 2SLGBTQ+ community and allies was swift.
“As a brand that is synonymous with Canada, Tim Hortons and their partnerships should reflect Canada — a country that is inclusive and proud of its diversity,” advocacy group Egale Canada said in an online statement Tuesday.

Amnesty International UK is under growing pressure after experiencing pushback from a number of organisations it smeared for their alleged ‘anti-trans’ or ‘transphobic’ outlook.
A Growing Threat: the anti-rights movement in the UK was published on July 8th, 2026, and removed just two days later. The hasty response—from an organisation which took two years to acknowledge the Hamas October 7th atrocities—was prompted by a backlash from many of the groups the report berated for being part of an “anti-rights” movement. Past donors also raised concern about Amnesty’s capture by gender ideology.
A transgender former Labour candidate has been charged over online posts about Ann Widdecombe’s death.
