So, the first thing I'd like to say, is that
I've received about 30 letters from transexual people...
So some of the people whose voices are not being heard to day are asking 
members of the transexual community...
There's absolutely no reason to asume that
the activists who are performing in this room
are representatives...
So most of the transexual people that I've
had the opportunity to speak with, believe that
the trans activists that we're seeing here
are not acting on their best interests at all.
And they're also afraid that acting out in
this way is going to be harmful for them as individuals.
So one of the things I would ask all of you
is to think before you asume that noisy activists
are.. they claim to represent, because they
don't. They have no legitimacy.
I find it also quite disturbing that one of
the things that people at university are taught
often by their activist professors is that coming
out and protesting in this manner actually constitutes a moral thing to do.
...and part of the reason that I've been talking
about individual responsibility over and over is because this is absolutely pathetic.
And you look around and you see people who really come to university to learn and have
been taught that this is actually the way that people...move your political agenda forward...incomprehensible
to me.
The other thing that you might think about,
those of you who come to listen is that this
whole endeavour is being broadcast on Youtube
and there will be hundreds or thousands of people watching it.
My experience has been....
I also think that when you watch people who
are really ideologically possessed most of what you hear is nonsense
because there isn't much difference between the way they think and noise.
People in the activist classes learn to memorize
ten rather appalling statements and learn how to make noise. They're being done a disservice by the educational institutions.
The other thing that I would really recommend too
is to keep your head, there is absolutely no reason to get upset about any of this,
right.
It doesn't matter.
You really want to make sure that you don't
let people ...it's a big mistake.
A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO ARE PROTESTING  "TRYING TO MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE" ARE TRYING
TO PROVOKE A VERY NEGATIVE RESPONSE.
YOU DON'T WANT TO BE THE ONE TO GET THE WEAPON
WARM, IT'S A BIG MISTAKE.
At the free speech rally in Toronto, a lot of people have watched that online now, it got pretty tense.
And anybody that was there to promote free speech had made a mistake and had done something aggressive or violent
had it been filmed and broadcast on Youtube, all of this would have played out very differently.
You really have to watch what you do because what you do can be magnified greatly and cause a ripple into the broader society.
Listen you don't want to be the person that
brings that about.
The name calling so far hasn't really had
much of an effect on me because I don't regard any of it even remotely true.
First of all they're very careless with their use of words. I'm a transphobe (according to them)
THIS IS WHERE WE DRAW THE LINE x19 (I counted)
FREE SPEECH MATTERS.
The question is, who do they hate, right?That's really the question, and also why!?
I think that...*YOU ARE NOT A VICTIM*...that's
true I'm not a victim.
I had a student, who toured the mass work camps in Eastern Europe with the UN.
She wrote a lengthy article on precursors to genocide.
It painted part of the population as victims
and the other part of the population as perpetrators.
As soon as you go out in the world...because
you've successfully identified where the evil is.
One of the things I always try to teach my students is that if you're gonna look for what's wrong with the world
You should start by looking at what's wrong with you.
And the other thing I learned too, about what you can do to try and make things better is to attend to the things right in front of you.
It's sad and it's cheap...
It's sad because there are lots of better
things to do and its cheap because it's a
hell of a lot easier than doing real work.
There are people yelling names and using obscenities.
You know, this is funny, the part of your
brain that you use for obscenities is the
same part of your brain that's used to signal
the presence of a predator in the wild.
It's the same neurological circuit and it's really primordial.
Sorry my microphone stopped working, can you
guys hear me at all at the back?
So I'm going to tell you a little bit about
why I oppose Bill C-16.
Part of the reason that I oppose Bill C-16 to begin with, is because I have a real issue with the matter
in which the politics of identity are being
built into our law.
So I would recommend that all of you who wanna
talk leave and come outside, and I'll come
out and talk to you.
Lets try it out ok?
