BC Liberal’s gender equity critic called out for promoting transphobic content on Twitter - Terrace Standard

Recent Twitter activity by Kelowna-Mission MLA and BC Liberal Party gender equity critic Renee Merrifield has some calling her out for promoting transphobic views and people.

In her own tweet, Merrifield called the college’s action against Peterson “scary,” adding that “when silence is demanded and threats made, democracy ends.” But Simon Fraser University professor Travers said just the action of promoting people like Peterson is dangerous.The Jan. 1 Dansky tweet Merrifield liked is equally concerning to Travers. In it, Dansky called a U.S. Court of Appeals decision that bans transgender students from using school bathrooms that reflect their chosen identities “great news.” Merrifield has since unliked it.
