What a ludicrous question is the one CHP answered in our “Woman: An Adult Female” poster. Who doesn’t know what a woman is? Sadly, Canada, alongside many other countries, has rejected common sense on the question and may soon have laws that could prevent us from even asking the question.

You could ask the ‘woke folk’ who seek to lead this country, and they will tell you that the dictionary is wrong. ‘Woman’ is a broad term that includes ciswomen, who are described in some places as, ‘uterus-bearers’, ‘bleeders’, ‘vagina-havers’, ‘womb-bearers, menstruators.

Yes, sadly, those of us born with XX chromosomes are being described according to the above attributes. It boggles the mind that there is no protest when women are dehumanized this way. We went from a subordinate role through much of history, graduating to an equal role through the 20th century, now being demoted to the role of ‘womb-bearers’ etc. in the 21st century. Tragic!

Thankfully, due to a Freedom of Information request from MacDonald-Laurier Institute, Canadians are starting to get information about the effects of the policies implemented by these ‘woke folk’ on Canadian women in sports.

With what appears to be a collapse in sporting competitions for women, the ‘woke-folk’ celebrate that women can no longer compete on women’s teams with other women. These ‘woke-folk’ think the category of ‘women’ should include biological men . . . though they are physically different in size, bulk and speed to biological women. Further, the injuries that women have been sustaining in contact sports against men are no more than . . . insignificant annoyances, according to the ‘woke folk’.

The World Rugby Association, in answering the question as to whether biological women can safely compete against biological males in rugby responds, “currently, transgender women may not compete in women’s rugby.” That’s because there is a serious risk of injury to biological women by the greater mass of the biological male.

Armed with this information, how can there be any consideration given to allowing biological men to compete in women’s contact sports? Further, in all fairness, recognizing the greater muscle mass etc. of men, why would it be considered fair to have our biological women athletes compete against men in running, swimming, cycling, etc.?

We need only look to the ordeal of Hannah Arensmen, a 35-time winner on the national cyclocross circuit. Or, Chelsea Mitchell, a swimmer, who said, “I was the fastest girl, but I couldn’t beat the stronger, faster biological male who stood atop the winner’s podium that day.” Or, swimmer Riley Gaines, who said that allowing biological males to compete against biological females was taking women’s rights back to the 1970s.

From all levels of competitive sport, we hear biological women, speak about “. . . a climate of intimidation, fear, silencing, loss of privacy and dignity, and fear for their physical safety.”

The question has to be asked, why women haven’t yet risen up and called for equal rights as they did in the late 19th to early 20th centuries? After a scant 100 years of graduating equality, are we content to sit back and let men dominate women’s sports? And to usurp women’s shelters by requiring biological women to share space with biological males? And, at public swimming pools, to expose biological women in the change rooms and showers to biological males? Is our sense of worth so low that we don’t think we deserve privacy in the washroom from the intrusive presence of biological males?

Our left wing, ‘woke’ government has placed 50% of the population in a position of being victims and has taken away our ability to practice sports against our legitimate peers. Our current government has silenced us with the threatened Bill C-63.

At a protest in Calgary, trans-activist Alexis Bernardo complained that, “They’re trying to take away the rights and the potential of people just being who they are.” As a biological woman, I have to ask, “What about biological women? Why shouldn’t we be allowed to compete against our peers, who are biological women?”

Canadian women must wake up and demand our right to be what we are . . . women! It is only women who have XX chromosomes. The other option is XY, the chromosomes of a biological man. I’ve heard it said over the last few years that women’s rights are being thrown back to the 1970s, but it’s more like 1919. We had won the right to women’s teams in the Olympic Games in 1900, the right to vote in 1918; but to achieve full legal equality was a battle fought for the next 90 years. Then we kissed it goodbye because the belief that biological males could be classified as ‘women’ simply by claiming to be women became of greater importance to government than the protection of the hard-won rights of actual biological females.

What do we need to do?

It’s time to make clear to the government our position that we will NOT give up our right to be recognized and treated uniquely as women. We need to stand up as candidates in upcoming elections at the municipal level to stand against the misguided policies of cities like Hamilton, where they relegate us to a subgroup that includes biological men. We need to fight for positions on the provincial level to say that our daughters will not be subject to biological males ogling them in school washrooms. We need to stand up in the upcoming federal election and tell our governing officials that we will not let them silence us on ‘women only’ issues. We are Canadian women, and we expect to be allowed to freely and peacefully express our outrage that our unique attributes are being usurped by men who choose to reduce us to ‘menstruators’, ‘bleeders’, ‘womb bearers’, or any other denigrating name they choose to dump on us.

Our Christian heritage provided women with more rights than any other world view. Let’s get back to that! Join us today!

What is a woman? An adult female.

I am a woman!
