Canada’s Purple Shirt Problem

2010, Canada – Teenager Brittany McMillan uses Tumblr to call on people to wear purple on this day to show support for bullied LGBT youth. The day is known as Spirit Day. The first Gay Spirit day is Celebrated Worldwide. It then became celebrated on Oct. 19th.

From LGBTQ2 History October 20

The problem with purple shirts in Canada since the formation of the Maxime Bernier People’s Party – is that they are claiming to be a purple wave; with the royal association of the colour and the political association of parties that call themselves people’s parties who deem themselves elite

which results in the need for people such as Brittany McMillan

because of the political party, I no longer wear purple shirts

I wear orange instead

part of of the problem of gender roles – and where cultural stereotypes, tropes and role models that real people mimick

are movies during the last century, with reality tv having been a genre for over a generation of television viewers, with internet replacing that distribution of data.

is women were prevented from portraying and then writing and producing and creating women’s stories and characters

everything seen is through a heteromale viewpoint

and women’s roles are limited to victims, caretakers, temptresses and killers – in the USA first with the Hays Code that ended the Classic Hollywood era to modern censorship.

1958 – Truman Capote’s (September 30, 1924 – August 25, 1984) novella Breakfast at Tiffany’s is published in the November issue of Esquire Magazine. Capotes was an American novelist, screenwriter, playwright, and actor. Many of Capote’s short stories, novels, plays, and nonfiction are recognized as literary classics, including Breakfast at Tiffany’s (1958) and the true crime novel In Cold Blood (1966), which he labeled a “nonfiction novel.” At least 20 films and television dramas have been produced from Capote’s works. Capote was openly gay. One of his first serious lovers was Smith College literature professor Newton Arvin (August 25, 1900 – March 21, 1963), who won the National Book Award for his Herman Melville biography in 1951 and to whom Capote dedicated Other Voices, Other Rooms. But Capote spent the majority of his life until his death partnered to Jack Dunphy (August 22, 1914 – April 26, 1992), a fellow writer.

Literary Cunning Linguists

from the article, – a demonstration of bias:

“Concern trolls like DiManno act as if people pushing for gender inclusivity in language are trying to eradicate women rather than just expand society’s conception of trans women, non-binary women, and other people with vaginas. Absolutely no one has told anyone the word “woman” has been banned. “

The above paragraph actually shows the pattern of women being displaced in language by starting with transwomen shifting through nonbinary as the gender paradigm shift without a diagnosis, to person with a vagina – which is the meaning of woman, given person was defined and understood as male, rather than person with a penis – in the same way that neither man or woman has had to specify heterosexual.

From the quote: “expanding the concept of transwomen” by altering the words used to describe women is not equality, but removal of women.

“chest feeder “and “pregnant person” are neutering’s not neutralizing language, which English, as all languages are heteromale centric.

Further fixating on function is to diminish the whole person, the human, the sum of parts and demographics and other labels; and it is whole persons, not ideas nor parts that have rights.

The article is part of the constant dismissal of anyone who raises a concern and the concern mocked – is part of the gaslighting, minimizing and demeaning the impact of the dissolving of language, which depends on a shared common understood meaning.

That women are not being allowed to say no should be a concern. that is to be able to say no to the language change for words and phrases to identify, to be able to say no to an academic idea without career damaging consequences, to be able to say no without being name called or debated or shunned for saying no.

The words relating to women are being banned and the meaning of any word is ended with the opposite is included within the word’s meaning: and interesting how it is the concept of transwomen and “non binary women and other people with vaginas” when non binary does not alter biology. and “persons with vaginas” are being used to describe women, when the word woman already means that without being biologically blunt.

every time a woman speaks woman words, trans women claim they are being excluded… women are speaking about ourselves, our bodies and our experiences… women are being silenced. at every level women have achieved, with disproportionate harm to women across ethnicity, disability, immigration and poverty status, who have less access to nonprofit services, and rape/battered shelters owing to altering the meaning of “woman” by including men in the meaning – rather than addressing the male violence across the spectrum of males from hetero to homo, bisexual and trans/non-binary

with transwomen’s prioritization disproportionate to transmen, and only lesbians being burderned with a slur.

those opposed to marriage said same sex to conjure images of gay anal sex, while those for used same gender to reduce the sexual stigma and to have a phrase that could be used by gay men and lesbians – and note the word lesbian includes both gender and sexuality in one word. Marriage equality retained marriage as between two people and it did not alter heterosexual marriage in any way.

Whereas transgender is claiming that the characteristics of gay and lesbian are bigotry, when those are the characteristics that heterosexuals oppressed us, to this very genocidal world reality in 2021 – and are in fact opposed to language to describe women that accurately describes women because these words and the observable reality are what is commonly understood, because anyone can observe and perceive it.

While the claims of transgender identity theory, do not explain, are not testable and doctors do not assign, only observe and measure; an any academic idea that cannot be questioned, may be dismissed without consideration. the harm to academia and the public’s deeming university to be elitist and unrelated to the real world, is not helped by the over protection of ideas that cannot be academically defended if not questioned.

Nor real world applied owing to the unintended consequences of the loss of women’s rights protections, nonprofits that provide crisis services to women and are not for the public, such as Vancouver Rape Relief, but a safe place from the public; across professions, and very particularly lesbian subculture – from the Michigan Womyn’s music festival to lesbians social spaces where those who are clothes from heterosexual do not belong and the phrase “cotton ceiling” which was lesbian panties and now being rolled back to transwomen’s panties, which is the incel language of complaining about not having sexual access, which is not subject to human rights, but individual sexual selection.

Further, the loss of women’s speech, expression from words to careers to do so from; and the failure to hold heterosexual men to account for the assault, rape and murder rates across not only trans – where the word transphobia is the at court defense word – and gay men – where the word homophobia is also a at court defense word – and it is not heterosexual men who are being held to account – but rather lesbians being singled out for name calling and exclusion for not dating transwomen.

so dear transwomen: since women’s words do not resonate, I quote what heterosexual men have been saying to all women for decades: feelings are not facts.

After writing in different forms throughout the 1880s, he became one of London’s most popular playwrights in the early 1890s. He is best remembered for his epigrams and plays, his novel The Picture of Dorian Gray, and the circumstances of his imprisonment and early death. At the height of his fame and success, while The Importance of Being Earnest (1895) was still being performed in London, Wilde had the Marquess of Queensberry prosecuted for criminal libel. The Marquess was the father of Wilde’s lover, Lord Alfred Douglas. The libel trial unearthed evidence that caused Wilde to drop his charges and led to his own arrest and trial for gross indecency with men. After two more trials he was convicted and sentenced to two years’ hard labour, the maximum penalty, and was jailed from 1895 to 1897. There he wrote his last work, The Ballad of Reading Gaol (1898), a long poem commemorating the harsh rhythms of prison life. He died destitute in Paris at the age of 46. In 2017, Wilde was among an estimated 50,000 men who were pardoned for homosexual acts that were no longer considered offences under the Policing and Crime Act 2017. The Act is known informally as the Alan Turing law.

Why No has to be accepted

no. not even married people are owed sex. maritial rape occurs.

no single person has a right to sex, because no one owes sex to another person.

human rights are in the public square dignity and civil access to the public square

each person has the right to decide who is and is not involved in their at home out of public square life with the word “no”

which, word “no” is to be accepted. Without negotiating, without debate, without name calling, withouth negging, without stalking, withouth assaulting, without raping and without murdering.

“Cotton ceiling” is the transwomen complaint that lesbians respect the human rights of trans but do not date.

then call lesbians terf and accuse us of bigotry

for the same characteristics that heterosexuals oppressed and marginalized us in law and society.

men with a diagnosis, not content with human rights respected for them – use a phrase refering to undergarments connected to their sexual frustration and inability to understand the word “no” and “lesbian” who then resorts to name calling, “terf” and claiming bigotry on the part of the lesbian.

who is rejecting a date with a clothes away from heterosexual person, who cannot accept a no for a date

when the person at risk of sexual harm and disappointment is the lesbian saying no, which, every woman and every person has a right.

one person’s human rights, does not void another

and the inability to accept a no for an in the public square social encounter – is to then deny a no to sex; which is in effect trying to legally validate rape before it occurs.

no person has to ignore their own senses, their own knowledge and understanding of the word owing to another person’s self image.

the entire person has rights, not ideas and not body parts

that transwomen are more often the victim crime stat than the perp one, does not reduce lesbians, gay men and bisexuals, along with the heterosexual men and women who are also victims in criminal statistics.

and transwomen, do not get to burden women with the crime stats that fit male criminal patterns and not women’s criminal patterns, which tend to also be as a partner with a male counterpart.

the reasons for and the types of crime varies between the two genders in a sexually reproducing species, where some percentage of the population are sexual non-procreatively oriented, with some being sexually orientied to non-procreative and to procreative sex.

and in nations where clothing is not restricted by law and socially enforced via peers; many people assert individuality by blending clothes, which is different than those from previous generations, where there were legal consequences to doing so. including death sentences by law or by persons who discovered objective reality.

lesbians are not “non-men”, we are not “heterosexual men in women’s bodies”. we are not defined phallocentrically.

This is a new phenomenon where a child, who was perfectly happy in his or her body until right around puberty, suddenly announces that he or she is the opposite sex. In the case of my daughter, when she developed this condition, she threw away all of her feminine clothes, cut her hair super short, refused to go out in public without a chest binder and stopped shaving her legs. And, of course, she came up with a new male-sounding name and insisted that everyone use it, along with the associated male pronouns.Show Morepitt.substack.com

children who were groomed groom others and even adult women will defend the predators for the same was groomed reasons.. .meanwhile the lesbians who object to trans are being called terfs and blamed for the assaults, rapes and murders done by heterosexual men.

just to give a refresher – here is marketing and grooming 101

on a topic that is a bit less stressful than trying to legitimately protection children and teenagers, and also vulnerable younger adults

who in the normal intergenerational cycle have a rebellion against and an approval conformity need to be with peers rather than families

and with generations of adults who are gay, lesbian and bisexual, who as teens or children were thrown out of our families of origins

the why the teens and children are vulnerable to predators

and the need to protect spaces that protect the most vulnerable

women’s rape and crisis centres, and dedicated to women’s health information, safety, along with their teens and minor children

the criminal statistics of who perpetuates the most violence is heterosexual men across all ethnicities; with men with a diagnosis of trans given a veneer of academic university studies; prioritizing trans women over women; is a crisis in health care services, which all should be understanding this long into a global pandemic, the need for universal access, rather than for profit systems.

in the 1970s tv commercials stopped showing babies in only diapers owing to the realization that this was free pedophile porn delivered during the day time and early evening broadcast tv.

the 1980s was Web one: the Information highway, as the early internet was named, We are now in Web 3.0. and Web 2.0 was the social media era when anyone could be a content provider, and the public did not understand what the internet really was, and became content.

Web 1.0 was data sharing and only porn, behind paywalls, made money. computers were used by military, government, big businesses, and few people in western nations had a computer at home.

Web 2.0 social media, every western home had at least one computer, and only advertising made money; the internet extended thoughout the globe and the internet was the start of the global era of interconnected and directly contactable person to person.

Web 3.0 BIg Data and The Dark Web

those who feared the database in the 1980s, turned out to not be dire enough.

It is curious that heterosexual men who do the assault, rape and murder are not being held to account but rather women and especially lesbians

“homophobia” and “transphobia” are heterosexual male words to explain at court as reasonable obvious crimes

these words being used against lesbians with particular name calling , but also bisexuals, gay men and even heterosexuals for saying no to a date is to deny non-transgender persons their human right to make life decisions.

people forget the expression “wolf in sheep clothing”
