It actually isn't, if you read the bill. I'm American and I don't support hate speech laws at all. I think they're dystopian. However, calm and well-reasoned criticism of transsexualism will not be considered hate speech under this bill.

Bill C-261 full text

Definition of *hate speech*

(9) In this section, hate speech means the content of a communication that expresses detestation or vilification of an individual or group of individuals on the basis of a prohibited ground of discrimination.

Clarification – hate speech

(10) For greater certainty, the content of a communication does not express detestation or vilification, for the purposes of subsection (9), solely because it expresses mere dislike or disdain or it discredits, humiliates, hurts or offends.

The idea that someone can be arrested for something they post online, which isn't a direct threat of violence, is detestable to me. However, it's also important to keep in mind that this law does not apply to private communications.

We can criticize them without expressing "detestation or villification." I think we can all tell what parts of the "GC" movement would be forced to tone it down. There is a lot of detestation and villification of transsexuals online from "GC" people. In my opinion, expressing that is their right, and again, laws restricting free speech give me the chills. If I had it my way, I would veto the whole thing, yes, including the anti-racism parts.

However, it's silly to claim that now it will be impossible to criticize them or the ideology at all. I think most of the panic over this bill is from the type of "GC" "feminists" that give the rest of us a bad name. The kind of people who say all "TIMs" (trans-identified males, clarifying since this sub is on s/all) are just evil p3d0ph!l3s whose sole purpose in life is to r@p3 and generally subjugate women and girls. The people who think that this is a conspiracy by George Soros to oppress women and "TIMs" are his agents of evil. That kind of silly shit. You know how Karen Davis's fans harassed Arty Morty for daring to call out their hateful behavior and trying to find out why heterosexuals choose to transition (he deviated from their narrative which would answer that question with: because they're demons who hate women). Those people. Nothing Arty Morty himself has ever said would break this law.

Transsexualism is something that's done to homosexuals. Heterosexuals are now also choosing to transition, but historically, this has been an issue for homosexuals only. Homosexuals have been dealing with it for thousands of years. Now, some annoying heterosexual/bihet women want to jump in and say actually they're poor widdle victims and this is their problem and they're suffering so badly that they detest transsexuals... the transsexuals that they created through their participation in homophobic systems of action and thought... it's just ridiculous and it makes the rest of us look retarded and evil.
