If Pierre feels so strongly about this, he should post his browser history from all his devices.
All the reasons we can’t police his internet usage are all the reasons he can’t control ours.
Gun registry bad!
Porn viewing registry, hell yeah!
Hmmmmm
The conservatives logging their IDs and having it leaked that they’re into trans porn/mother-son/furry shit are gonna really be glad they voted that in.
I think one of the most frustrating parts of how you aren’t wrong is that that’s why they see trans people as inherently sexual. To them we’re a porn category instead of friends, neighbors, coworkers, and our own separate people.
It’s very true, and part of the reason is that most trans folks are relatively invisible (in a good way).
Imagine this scenario:
(Conversation at work): “Hey, did you know that Susan used to be a dude?” “Huh. Weird.”
And they go forward with that knowledge in the back of their mind, and hopefully treating Susan no different than they did before. But here’s the thing: They have associated Susan with “used to be a dude,” but that isn’t necessarily connected to “trans” in our brains.
So when we hear Trans, we don’t think of Susan; instead we think about the category we see on porn sites. And ‘trans = sexual’ is reinforced.
Exactly, and this is one of the principal manifestations of transmisogyny. We’re treated as sex objects but also as objects of sexual disgust and that duality creates a world in which many of us historically have struggled to support ourselves outside of sex work. We face violence for it, often sexualized. And then when we dare to have our own sexual desires or wind up with kinks or sexual hang ups they’re pointed at as proof it’s all we think about as though we hadn’t been taught that that’s our only value.
And throughout all of that we’re pushed out of public life as obscene. The people who prey on us tell others that we’re the predators.
There’s a term for this. It’s called Moral Licensing. Wanna guess why the Conservatives are pushing so hard for this?

So that minors cant watch porn as easy. What the strawman you have ready to go?
Umno.
Poilievre knows this won’t restrict access to porn for clever people - and teenagers are going to be the most clever at getting around technology. That is not his goal.
What he intends here is (a) tracking people and their behaviour, and most importantly (b) whipping up his supporters into a moral froth - to gain votes.
Yet again it’s pointless grandstanding. People will just use VPNs or foreign servers. Global solution to pointless censorship attempts.
