Yeah, I enjoy that guy's videos and this is a good point and another way gender identity ideology is similar to religion. All other civil rights groups simply want specific additional rights to bring them to make them more equal. For better or worse though TRAs demand we see reality the way they do or at least pretend to go along with it and base our laws on their worldview. The same things religions in theocracies do. Maybe we should push to get gender identity recognized as a religion, sure it would mean giving their organizations tax-free status but it would also mean we would get protections for being secular :)

Hmmm... That's an interesting question, and a little depressing, how hard is it to start a religion in Canada?

I really have no idea. If Scientology can get recognized it can't be that hard though. and I think I heard Cathy Brennan made some pagan church built around GC feminism already (in the US, not Canada)

Found it! https://churchofwomensliberation.wordpress.com/

I'm going to apply! Not sure how active it is though... What's Cathy Brennan's TLDR? I've seen the name but don't quite grok it.

I don't know a lot about her besides that she is a lawyer and gender critical activist and someone TRAs complain about a lot. Here's her Youtube channel:

The church is an interesting idea as I don't think people can be fired and harrassed as much for things recognized as religious beliefs but I don't know I guess it depends on the jurisdiction.

Do tell us about it if you decide to join :)
