The City of Toronto might soon be doing away with male and female gender options for forms, opting to use cis male and cis female. City of Toronto Two-Spirit, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer Advisory Committee member Jad Jaber said these changes need to be made on an emergency basis. “I think it’s unacceptable that we see these terms at this day and age,” said Jaber in a speech at a 2SLGBTQ+ Advisory Committee meeting. “Some things within organizational settings need to be fast tracked.”.In general, Jaber said he hopes these changes are made as quickly as possible. Another City of Toronto 2SLGBTQ+ Advisory Committee member thanked Jaber for his testimony. “I can confirm that we can make this change immediately,” said the member. The member said it had received requests to change its wording around gender, wanting male and female to go to cis male and cis female or man and woman. “And those align with the options with the city’s recommended language,” she said. Trish Wood is Critical host Trish Wood accused social justice activists of trying to undermine biology. “They want to undo normal biology so that male and female no longer exist,” said Wood..Canadian economic development consultant Michael Baran joked about changing the terms around gender being major issues. “Because changing the words from male or female to cis-male or cis-female will effect radical change; how to waste public funds and Govt resources when there is so much poverty and homelessness,” said Baran.
