In a CBC Radio One segment, a guest said that toddlers just two years of age know whether they are transgender – which the host of the show said “put a lid on this.”
In a segment titled “What is the anti-LGBTQ backlash doing to kids?” host Amanda Pfeffer had on two guests and took a handful of call-ins.
One of the callers said that her four-year-old child is neither male nor female, but a non-binary person.
“Kids can know their gender identity very young — two, three, four years old,” said caller-in Lisa.
She added, “My own kid — my non-binary kid, knew when they were four.”
CBC’s Pfeffer then thanked Lisa for “putting a lid” on the issue, seemingly agreeing with the idea of trans babies.
Catholic teacher guest agreed
Pfeffer also talked with a Catholic district teacher named Erin Van Moorsel during the second half of the show.
Van Moorsel, a diversity advisory board member of the Ontario English Catholic Teachers’ Association, advocated on behalf of LGBT policies.
One caller did express disagreement with gender ideology being taught to young children, which Van Moorsel smugly laughed about when asked for a reaction.
Van Moorsel said, “We’re all children of God. God loves us. We are not mistakes. And I think it is super important to recognize the need for love and tolerance, for compassion, for empathy, and acceptance…”
“…And to promote love over hate.”
Guests say that affirming gender is the “safe” thing to do
Multiple guests said that affirming one’s gender identity, no matter what or how young, is the “safe” thing to do.
“When they have the words to talk about it and when they have the words, their outcomes are much much much better,” Lisa said.
Another guest named Josh said “It’s all about saving lives, it’s all about saving lives… ”
“When youth aren’t accepted for who they are, they die, they die,” he claimed.
Although the CBC is framing the issue as “anti-LGBTQ backlash,” recent demonstrations in Ontario against radical gender ideology have brought together parents from many different ethnic and religious backgrounds as they advocate for common sense education policy.
