Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre stepped into the debate over trans rights on Wednesday, saying "biological males" should be banned from women's sports, change rooms and bathrooms.

"Female spaces should be exclusively for females, not for biological males," Poilievre said in Kitchener, Ont.

The Conservative leader made the comments after being asked if, as prime minister, he would introduce legislation to prevent "transgender women" or "biological men" from participating in female sports or entering female prisons and shelters.

"A lot of the spaces … are provincially and municipally controlled, so it is unclear ... what reach federal legislation would have to change them," Poilievre said.

"But obviously female sports, female change rooms, female bathrooms should be for females, not for biological males," he added.

Fuck this guy. What fucking washroom do I fucking use then? The one where I pass as a woman and no one notices or cares that I'm trans, or the one where I get assaulted or harassed by a man.

Guess I'll just shit myself.

I'm going to go ahead and vote for the gender neutral one - having separate washrooms is dumb.

Not always an option. Maybe thats where legislation should be?

Let's end segregation.

Pretty simple from his point of view: He would rather you get assaulted, beaten, raped, and murdered.

I'm sorry you have to go through this shit.

You're not supposed to exist at all, according to people like him.
