The Vancouver Public Library is allowing Radical Feminist Meghan Murphy (who is a TERF and SWERF) to host a talk about gender identity.

Recently Meghan Murphy was banned from twitter for transphobic remarks that breached twitter’s ‘hateful conduct policy’:

Twitter has banned misgendering or ‘deadnaming’ transgender people

Gender Identity is protected under B.C.’s Human Rights Code.

If you want to send a message to Vancouver Public Library, here is the original tweet:

A lot of people are not happy about this in the comments.

Racism and transphobia are not opinions.

Hate speech is not free speech.

It has a cost and it’s counted in human lives.

ppl on facebook sarcastically saying “well why don’t we do 40 year background checks on EVERYONE in congress?? there’d be nobody left!1!!”

…..that’s a great idea, let’s do that!!

Yeah, like, if we got rid of all the pedophiles and rapists and racists and replaced them with good people, how does anyone have a problem with it?

I legit had someone unfriend me after they shared that post and I was like yeah, let’s do that!

Seriously though. If you did a forty year background check on me, you’d find lots of immaturity and stupidity, but you wouldn’t find any sexual assaults or attempted rapes because I’m a decent fucking human being.

Like, this is… not a hot take? This is seriously just keeping abusers out of positions of power. How does anyone have a problem with that??!?
