‘He would not say that 2+2=5’: Tribunal demands $750,000 penalty for not embracing transmania
A committee of extremists in Canada is demanding a $750,000 penalty from a former school trustee who simply stated the science that using chemicals and surgical mutilations to transition children from one sex to another amounts to child abuse.
The stunning result is from the BC Human Rights Tribunal, which has had Barry Neufeld in court for something like a decade over his refusal to adhere to the leftist ideology that boys can become girls and vice versa.
The science confirms that is impossible, as being male or female is embedded in the human body down to the DNA level.
A report at Not the Bee explains:
Barry Neufeld was a school trustee for the Chilliwack School District who was trying to protect kids by stopping the woke school policies that have destroyed children’s safety across the Western world. Neufeld made his “offending” comments in 2017, when he said the medical transition of children amounted to child abuse. Neufeld refused to back down, denying the teachings of modern gender theory (such as the belief that gender is a “spectrum”), citing not only biological fact but the biblical teaching that God created humans male and female.”
The tribunal wildly claimed that the calling the transgender ideologies “indoctrination” actually “poisoned” the work environment for LGBT teachers who follow that faith.
“They ruled against him because he would not say that 2+2=5.”
The committee stated, “If a person elects not to ‘believe’ that gender identity is separate from sex assigned at birth, then they do not ‘believe’ in transpeople. This is a form of existential denial. A person does not need to believe in Christianity to accept that another person is Christian. However, to accept that a person is transgender, one must accept that their gender identity is different than their sex assigned at birth.”
BREAKING: Barry Neufeld, a former school trustee who opposed gender ideology in schools, has been ordered to pay $750,000 to the Chilliwack Teacher’s Assocation.

The decision prompted calls for the tribunal to be abolished.
“It is merely a Left-wing political enforcement arm of the BC NDP government and their activist allies. They punish brave people like Mr. Neufeld for standing against gender theory being pushed by the government. BC needs more radically normal people like Barry Neufeld. OneBC will carry on the fight against the Woke bullies at the BC Human Rights Tribunal and in the BC NDP government,” said one.

Social media commenters warned, “Canada desperately trying to outwoke California….” and “Don’t pay. Take it to Supreme Court.”

The tribunal’s ruling ranted about compensation for discrimination and an “injury to the class members’ dignity, feelings and self-respect.”
The report confirmed Neufeld is appealing the decision to the courts in British Columbia.
