Appointment of trans person as endometriosis representative ridiculed

A female novelist has criticised the appointment of a trans woman to represent an endometriosis charity, comparing it to a white person claiming to speak for black people.

Amanda Craig, who has published nine novels and was longlisted for the Women’s Prize for Fiction in 2021, spoke out after Steph Richards was named as the parliamentary engagement officer for Endometriosis South Coast.

Endometriosis is a chronic and painful gynaecological condition in which cells similar to those in the lining of the uterus grow in other parts of the body. It affects one in ten women in the UK.

Kill Krazy Kanadians Endorse MAiD For Those Suffering Mental Illness

Canadians’ support for medical assistance in dying (MAID) remains robust even when mental illness is the sole underlying condition, and it has strengthened over time rather than faded.

According to research conducted by Environics Research for Dying With Dignity Canada (DWDC), 80 percent of Canadians support eligibility for MAID where mental illness is the sole underlying medical condition, a level consistent with previous years.

Is that only because Whites are the overwhelming majority of MAiD patients?

A total of 15,927 people who received MAID responded to the question on racial, ethnic or cultural identity. The vast majority (95.6%) identified as Caucasian (White). The second most commonly reported racial, ethnic or cultural identity was East Asian (1.6%). These percentages are close to those reported for 2023 (95.8% Caucasian; 1.8% East Asian).

Masculinity Experts “Map the Manosphere” and Find Nothing Good

Or, Why we can’t hate gender studies enough

Nothing beats a threat narrative for a gender studies academic in search of relevance, and what more urgent than the dark corners of the internet where men (and the women who love them) allegedly spread misogyny and male supremacism.

Many academics now claim expertise in this area of gender studies, probing the volatile fragility and violent anxieties of manosphere men, and calling to repentance all who resist the feminist future. Many of these academics are women, making a sweet living warning about male “hate,” but there are plenty of male feminists as well, crusaders against others’ toxicity.

Should Canada Support Cuba’s Ruthless Regime Asks Star?

As Cuba faces mounting crises, should Canada increase its foreign aid and should Ottawa support U.S. efforts to force a regime change?

U.S. President Donald Trump’s threats to take over Cuba — “friendly” or “not friendly” — have landed like a grenade in a debate Canadians thought they understood. For decades, Ottawa’s approach to Havana has been built on engagement, not confrontation. Now Washington is demanding a harder line, tightening sanctions, threatening tariffs on countries that ship oil to the island and dangling the prospect of regime change.

But within Canada, the choice is not simple. Most Canadians who follow Cuba closely agree the communist government has a dismal human-rights record and that ordinary Cubans are suffering. They disagree sharply on whether pressure and sanctions will liberate those Cubans — or bury them.

I doubt many Canadians are worrying about Cuba other than where to go for their next vacay.
