Poilievre says 'biological males' should be banned from women's sports, change rooms and bathrooms - eviltoast

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre stepped into the debate over trans rights on Wednesday, saying “biological males” should be banned from women’s sports, change rooms and bathrooms.

“Female spaces should be exclusively for females, not for biological males,” Poilievre said in Kitchener, Ont.

The Conservative leader made the comments after being asked if, as prime minister, he would introduce legislation to prevent “transgender women” or “biological men” from participating in female sports or entering female prisons and shelters.

“A lot of the spaces … are provincially and municipally controlled, so it is unclear … what reach federal legislation would have to change them,” Poilievre said.

“But obviously female sports, female change rooms, female bathrooms should be for females, not for biological males,” he added.

    This. It’s abhorrent that fathers have no facilities for their children’s needs.

      I recently went to a mall where the baby change room was separate from the washrooms, except you had to walk through the women’s washroom to get to it. And the actual location meant there was no reason they couldn’t have had a separate door directly out into the hall.
