Pictured:

Rob Hoogland (left) is the father who is losing his freedom for the crime of resisting the state from giving his 14-year old daughter cross-sex hormones, and then speaking freely against it when he lost his parental rights in court.

Chris Elston (right) is sticking his neck out week after week by taking the online social media nonsense to the streets and showing people what is really going on. Note, his arm is broken because black bloc thugs ambushed and assaulted him with a traffic cone on Friday night.

We owe them much respect and thanks for their sacrifices. Make their names known.

This poor guy. :( If it was me, I'd be "kidnapping" my child to protect them from the state. Such a nightmare.

It is crazy. This is a good article if you want to introduce someone to the issues: https://thepostmillennial.com/rob-hoogland-canada-prisoner-of-conscience/ I think a lot of parents could empathize with his plight and get a better sense of what is at stake.

The Toronto Star is a major leftist newspaper, so I'm glad to see them covering this case, even if they're doing so with a blatant bias ("assigned male").

I wish more people would critically question the weaponization of mental health by trans-identified people. This kid identifies as a boy and the father doesn't accept it. So what? Lots of gay kids' parents didn't accept their kids' sexuality. Did they get accused of abuse and thrown in jail? Furthermore, this article makes it clear that the kid's transition is already known by those in their social circle. The father is merely identifying himself.

I hope cases like this peak more people.

What modern society proves is that you can get people to do just about anything through media brainwashing and getting people fired from their jobs for opposing you.
