So, the cancer that is the American right wing has infected Canada. An “institute” has begun a misinformation campaign that claims that kids can catch transsexualism from books. According to this “institute,” if kids learn about “intersexed” and two-spirited Native people, it will trigger a psychological break that will inexorably lead to them turning into transsexuals – possibly on the spot. Here’s their television ad:

So, here’s my advice:

• IF you’re going to lie to scare parents into agreeing with your absurd ideas;
• IF you’re going to create a fake “institute” to give your lies gravitas;
• IF you’re going to marginalize real trans kids by making them a subject of distain on television;
• THEN, you probably want to use privacy settings in your public WHOIS information:

Because spreading lies like this can have real-world consequences.

And yes, I’ve already called. This is McVety’s real info. You can email, call and/or fax him if you like. 

How stupid does one have to be to do something like this when you’re running a hate campaign? How about creationist stupid? Yup, McVety is a creationist who thinks Evolution = Nazism.

Apparently this “institute” is McVety’s office at the college he works for. I wonder if this college knows that it is part of a political campaign and that McVety has set up his own “institute” on their campus. Also, I wonder if this college receives any public funding and if this would be problematic for the college if regulators were to discover that public funds were being used in a right-wing misinformation campaign?

Oh, and by the way. I wonder if McVety even knows about the Canadian teen who was just bashed for being trans while his anti-trans misinformation campaign was in full swing? I wonder is McVety even considered how putting anti-trans lies out into the public plays out in real life?
