Coming up at 10:15am (Sask time) — Meghan Murphy on John Gormley Live.

We interviewed Meghan Murphy last Monday when protesters, activist groups, and event Toronto Mayor John Tory were working to cancel her speaking event on gender at the Toronto Public Library. Murphy’s argument that recognizing gender based on self-identification can harm women has led to accusations of transphobia, and hundreds turned up to protest the event Tuesday evening. After the event, attendees were mobbed and jeered by a crowd of protesters, and police had to escort them out for their safety. Murphy joins Drew now to talk about the event, the protests, and the importance of free speech – especially when that speech is unpopular.

The Tribunal finally caves to the pressure.

(Sorry, old paste code. fixed. I’ve removed the off topic comments to keep the thread clear.)

Keep clearing the minefield, folks.

Is his fifteen minutes up yet?

Jessica Yaniv, a transgender B.C. woman whose complaints over being refused intimate waxing services sparked wide controversy, was arrested Monday, apparently for brandishing a prohibited weapon during an online debate.
 
Yaniv said officers showed up at her apartment in Langley, B.C., shortly after the YouTube debate on transgender activism ended. The officers asked her about a stun gun, she said.
 
“About three minutes after (the broadcast ended), I have RCMP showing up at my door and putting me into cuffs saying I have a prohibited weapon,” she said in an interview.
