The Ontario Human Rights Commission has put together a excellent policy guidebook a number of years ago. I wanted to share some passages from it which I feel will help illustrate most of what I discuss on this site on the topic of transgender human rights law. First, it provides some definitions: Discrimination happens when a person experiences negative treatment or impact, intentional or not, because of their gender identity or gender expression....
It seems that Techrights (and Roy Schestowitz) are facing yet another lawsuit. Roy doesn’t name names but the content that he spews seems to indicate that Matthew Garrett is involved. There are links to stuff that is clearly about him, it’s pretty obvious. Garrett likely has about three years worth of stuff to sue Roy over too, if not more. The most ludicrous were the posts from summer 2023 when Roy was saying that Matt was a drug addict....
One May 10, 2024 and May 11, 2024, I received notices from the HRTO indicating that the respondents Techrights (C/O Roy Schestowitz) and Tux Machines (C/O Rianne Schestowitz) have a new deadline for a second chance at filing their Form 2. The legal proceedings are about a campaign of defamation and online group stalking motivated by transphobia. The ringleader, Roy Schestowitz, manages a team of people (including his wife) to do it and they earn an income on controversial online posts driving traffic to their websites....
One might be thinking that they are immune to the laws of another country online but that is not always the case. If you break the law in another country online, like Gary McKinnon, who hacked numerous US Government systems to look for evidence of UFO cover-ups, you might have to deal with extradition. In Gary’s case, the US attempts to get him extradited failed. Julian Assange is also dealing with a similar set of circumstances for leaking government documents....
I don’t plan to do this every Monday, but because Roy Schestowitz is now using blurred screenshots for his readers, I had to respond. Here is the screenshot in question. What is so secret about this? Absolutely nothing. We wrote some articles about this already. Not only is this uncensored, but you’ll see this actually refutes his lies from last week. I clearly laid out the fact that Roy is in the UK while making an argument that the Tribunal has jurisdiction....
Today Roy Schestowitz published his regular Monday morning (GMT) hit piece about me and it is nothing but bald faced lies. This is in relation to a case against Techrights, and a case against Tux Machines. He has two screenshots showing a spot in the legal forms where I was forced to use a Canadian province and postal code because Adobe Smart Forms are really bad. You can’t type in another country or use a UK Postal code....
Whenever I post a new article on my blog, I post links on social media. Usually its Mastodon, X, BlueSky and Lemmy. It is hard to keep stuff up on Reddit so I don’t usually try because the moderators are often hostile towards blogs. I’ve recently become aware of another potential source of news, SoylentNews. I figured it could be a good place to post links to my articles. I was wrong....
Previously I mentioned that I filed a case with the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario (“HRTO”) against Techrights, which is run by Roy Schestowitz. He had until March 11, 2024 to file a Form 2 Response. That time limit has been reached. What happens next depends on how Roy has handled this lawsuit. In one situation, he ignored it and will be deemed to have accepted the allegations. The case will go on without any further input from him....
On March 2, 2024, a deadline was reached, one which was with the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario (HRTO). Rianne Schestowitz had until then to file a Form 2 - Response. Back in November 2023, I filed a human rights lawsuit in Ontario against Tux Machines, run by Rianne Schestowitz. I don’t yet know if she actually filed a response because it will take time for the HRTO to process it if they received it, but her husband constantly says this is sexual harassment and a fake lawsuit....
Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) has linked the anti-gender and anti-2SLGBTQI+ movements to extreme violence. Since it is against the law to carry a weapon, my only recommendation is to get in shape and learn personal defense, such as martial arts. “CSIS assesses that the violent threat posed by the anti-gender movement is almost certain to continue over the coming year and that violent actors may be inspired by the University of Waterloo attack to carry out their own extreme violence against the 2SLGBTQI+ community or against other targets they view as representing the gender ideology ‘agenda,’” said CSIS spokesperson Eric Balsam in an email to CBC News....
