Your weekly reminder that Bruce Jenner is a woman,
“Trans health is a clinical interest of mine,” said Clark, who is a family doctor based in Regina and a faculty member in USask’s Department of Academic Family Medicine.
When she was training as a resident, Clark was working with a trans and gender diverse patient to prescribe them hormone therapy.
And Carrie Bourassa is not an Indian.
Carrie Bourassa – a scientific director of the Canadian Institutes of Health Research’s Institute of Indigenous Peoples’ Health and a professor at the University of Saskatchewan – is being investigated after her claims to an indigenous ancestry proved false.
The university hired Jean Teillet, a Métis lawyer, to probe Bourassa’s indigenous claims and will mainly focus on whether or not she misrepresents herself, according to CBC. Bourassa was put on leave earlier this month.
That is all.
If an Indian has a European surname, odds are they descended from an HBC employee.
Back in the day, the Hudson Bay drainage basin was chartered to the Hudson Bay Company (1670). White explorers had explored the area starting in 1640. They found next-to-no population and could not make a buck in the fur trade without importing people to be fur trappers and HBC employees. Indians immigrated into Saskatchewan, starting about 1740.

A big question to ask is… who decided who got the best trapping areas? How would that affect your family’s well-being?

TIME TRAVEL WITH ME:
Letter from John Ferguson to William Claus, Deputy Superintendent General, Indian Affairs, 5 March 1819, concerning threats made by Mohawks of the Bay of Quinte to passers-by; the influence of white lumbermen over the Mohawks; lineage (in relation to a General Order on 2 November 1818 that presents should not be given to the descendants of Europeans):
“Will not a difficulty arise, as to who these people are?”
“In the Mohawk village here, a large proportion are the immediate (perhaps the second generation) descendants of Germans; there is also a family of immediate descendants of Africans: Are they to be considered as Indians? There are also some descendants of Americans, whose ancestors were Europeans. Will they come within the intention of the Order?”
“In fact there are but few real Indians amongst them.”
That was 200 years ago.

There is only one person. “Them” is a pronoun to indicate more than one person.
The appropriate pronoun should correspond to the DNA of said person.
Trans-people are not real people anymore than a doctor who specialises in duct-taping bits onto said people is not a quack.
If you create a system people can grift, grift they will.

So, what is the cutoff for “What is an Indian”?
1/8th? 1/16th? 1\32nd? She could be like Lieawatha, 1/1028th……
Self-identification only?
I have a nephew, who is 1/4 native. Blond, blue-eyed, fair skinned. His 1/8th daughter, has the same complexion. NO ONE would identify them as native. And yes, they’ve got their tax free status alrighty!
There are many “natives” here on the coast, and certainly in Ontariowe as well, that are as Indian as kossack…….what a joke, but that’s Canuckistan!
Anorexia or bulimia nervosa seems to have less traction in pop culture these days and I was wondering if the trans-genders were picking up the slack in mental illness.
A quick search on the web and only one small reference in a paper to a small decline in cases, but of course researchers are always promoting their disease, so not a surprise.
And then I remembered that I don’t really give a damn anymore…
Kate, love your “That is all”.
Another one to try might be “As you were”.
Fake injuns:
This might get me tomatoed but I’m becoming a bit more nuanced on this issue. I mean, the incentive structure is now all pervasive and powerful. And the whole concept of “affirmative action” is phony as is the companion concept of “disproportionate impact”. So we could look at fake injun-ness as a spoke in the wheel or a Bronx cheer.
I bet Carrie Borrowedit speaks with a phony halting fake Indian accent and affects long suppressed instinctive hand signs after a couple martinis.
I wish she worked in my office….

With apologies to Cornelious Ryan… “A SWEAT LODGE TOO FAR”
“It started to unravel in 2019, when she appeared in full tribal regalia — draped in an electric blue shawl, with a feather in her partially braided hair — to give a TEDx Talk at the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon.
“‘My name is Morning Star Bear,’ she said tearfully as the crowd cheered.”
“A laborious trace of Bourassa’s family tree revealed that her supposedly indigenous ancestors were in fact immigrant farmers who hailed from Russia, Poland, and Czechoslovakia.”
What kind of sociopath does this?

” What kind of sociopath does this ? ”
That white chick in the USA a few years ago with the curly hair and dark tan, who tried to pass herself off as African American.
Rachel something ?
What will eventually replace “indigenous ancestry” in the hierarchy game? Guesses…..?
Is it just a coincidence that so many of these “progressive” woke types always seem to be so fucccking ugly?
Feminism is the deal globalists have with women passed over on the marriage market for being ugly, frigid, ornery, or all three.
It’s a great deal till you run out of daddy’s money.
From the PJ Media report:
”Colleagues got suspicious as she began adding on to her lineage of native tribes. She claimed to be a member of the Métis Nation. She also claimed Anishinaabe heritage and asserted that she’s a descendant of the Tlingit, a small group of Indigenous people from the Yukon and British Columbia.”
LOL the Tlingit claim was really over the top. If she had resisted that one she’d still be on the job. If you can call it a job.
Yes, but you are forgetting one of the fundamental facts about white privilege: Only white people can pretend to be non-white.
Black or brown or red or green people can’t pretend to be non-white.
Just another example of white privilege.
