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: Di...

Did you know that refusing to use a trans persons pronouns is considered to be gender based harassment?

The Legal Battle against Techrights and Tux Machines continues. – The Legal Beaver

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.

Tux Machines has until May 24, 2024, to provide a Form 2 Response and a reasonable excuse for late filing. Techrights has until May 27, 2024, to do the same.

Why Poilievre Will Win | The Walrus
  • Harper implemented the points system for immigration. This caused house prices to skyrocket because only the wealthy were allowed into Canada and they can pay it. Then they buy up a bunch of houses and rent each room out to students to pay the mortgage and not have to work.

  • International Women’s Day #InvestInWomen – The Legal Beaver

    *In a world facing multiple crises that are putting immense pressure on communities, achieving gender equality is more vital than ever. Ensuring women’s and girls’ rights across all aspects of life is the only way to secure prosperous and just economies, and a healthy planet for future generations.

    One of the key challenges in achieving gender equality by 2030 is an alarming lack of financing with a staggering USD 360 billion annual deficit in spending on gender-equality measures.

    The time for change is now! Join us on 8 March 2024 for International Women’s Day as we rally behind the call to “Invest in women: Accelerate progress”.* – Source: UN Women

    Let’s say you’ve worked as an Independent Contractor. Many employers have an incentive to treat their employees as if they were not employees. They can save money on taxes, they don’t have to give you any rights and they can withhold vacations, breaks, T4s, etc......

    The Death of FactoryDirect.ca – The Legal Beaver

    A tale of labour violations and shady practices from an ex employee.

    I’m going to talk about Factory Direct. It started off in 1995 as an electronics retailer and evolved into a merchant of everything refurbished.

    It turns out that they are going out of business. Once, they were a popular place to buy products cheap that were liquidated from other stores. Now they are liquidating themselves....

    Techrights Faces Legal Consequences for Roy Schestowitz’s Transphobic Content – The Legal Beaver

    Mr. Roy Schestowitz is the ringleader in a hate campaign involving transgender and disability discrimination on his website Techrights and his wife’s Tux Machines site. This involved doxxing, defamation and group stalking that made me feel unsafe and discriminated against.

    The bald faced lies he published are designed to spread hate and transphobia towards me and other transgender individuals by defaming me and making fabrications to destroy my reputation online. He is engaging in pure DARVO, pretending to be a victim when he is the perpetrator.

    Roy seems to think that labeling me as a criminal is justification to publish transphobic articles. This is seriously problematic. This is a tactic used by the far-right to demonize transgender people.
