Oops, can't call a transgender that in Toronto...

A woman has filed a human rights complaint against a Toronto shelter for female recovering addicts, claiming staff forced her to share a small double room with a pre-operative male-to-female transgender person.
The formal complaint against the Jean Tweed Centre, which runs Palmerston House, followed Kristi Hanna’s efforts to inquire about her own legal rights in this unusual situation, only to be told by Ontario’s Human Rights Legal Support Centre that, by describing her new roommate as a “man,” Hanna was the one engaged in illegal discrimination.
Hanna, 37, is a former paramedic who has lately worked in the service industry, and has been struggling with the lingering effects of sexual abuse and resulting problems with addiction to alcohol and cocaine. She described herself as an “active ally in the LGBTQ community,” but said this conflict has left her feeling as if vulnerable women are unable to voice their own gender-based rights for fear of violating someone else’s.
“It’s affecting everyone in the house. This can completely ruin your recovery, let alone your safety, let alone your life,” Hanna said in an interview.
She only spent two nights in the room with this person, constantly looking over to make sure she was still in bed, before taking an indefinite leave from the shelter. Hanna had lived at the central Toronto facility in an old Victorian house for seven months, but since last week has been staying with friends on couches, as a “transient,” she said. “Those two nights were hell for me.”
In her formal complaint to the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario, Hanna alleges the shelter “admitted a male bodied transgender into the safety of my home, bedroom and safe spaces.” She claims this has caused her stress, anxiety, rape flashbacks, symptoms of PTSD, and sleep deprivation.

Welcome to satan’s world.
A fascinating conundrum for libtards. Which of the two, the female abuse survivor or the pre-op tranny, has a higher standing and a more worthy grievance on the sacred Hierarchical Totem Pole of Libtard Victimhood, and is thus more deserving of support and advocacy?
Awww, that’s too bad.
How about them Blue Jays?!!
She's a Nazi now.

Brutal. The season was over for them in May.
When is a man not a man?
In Ontario, O Canada no one knows.
They should’ve killed the guy and the folks running the facility.
How bout dem Mets!
This push to make transgenders acceptable as the gender they identify with is only as good as the people who will accept it. I personally never would. I can see right past all the fake hair, boobs, and mannerisms. All I see is a man dressing up as woman and it looks ridiculous to my eye. The women trying to be a man, well, many of them already are in most ways that count.
All I see is a mental health case in need of treatment but I do have empathy for them. Nature screwed up and made them this way by accident through no fault of their own. That really has to suck to be them. The constant mind-body tug-of-war must be pure hell.
Who would have guessed that laws requiring people to actively deny basic realities could lead to trouble?
It's a dilemma.
Can’t we all just celebrate and embrace Diversity?
What if it’s a horny dilemma?
a horny trilemma?
It’s Trigglypuff!
The girl with the bouncing arms!
Women have a moving target place within the aggrieved pyramid - but make no mistake: women are not above Muslims or the perverts (especially if they are white women).
You are going to need a multi-dimensional diagram of intersectionality.
She is going to lose.
The science is settled. A penis in a dress is not dangerous.
No more debate. The case is closed.
Not really a conundrum as libtard feminists have always been pimped by gays and transgenders. Same thing with abortion, as women are being frightened about “reproduction rights” by men with skirts who do not want to support the women they impregnate and want to abandon.
