Canada’s top court criticised after referring to female rape victim as ‘person with a vagina’

Canada’s Supreme Court has been ridiculed after ruling that referring to a female sexual assault victim as a “woman” was confusing and the term “person with a vagina” should be used instead.

It is believed to be the first time the new terminology has appeared in the country’s judicial rulings and has prompted sharp criticism for “blurring” the language around sexual attacks.

Canada’s oldest rape shelter told The Telegraph it followed a trend of “erasure of the violence that men are committing against women”.

“It definitely doesn’t serve the fight to end male violence against women when you’re blurring the language,” said Hilla Kerner, a spokeswoman for the Vancouver Rape Relief and Women’s Shelter.

Melissa Lantsman, a deputy leader of the Conservative Party, said: “There is nothing confusing about the word ‘woman’, it’s common sense.

“This is just complete nonsense that moves nothing forward. It’s not ‘progress’”.

The Supreme Court ruling, which was published on International Women’s Day, related to a sexual assault case which was overturned on appeal. A man was accused of assaulting a woman; no-one involved in the case identified as transgender.

Considering the country is run by a bunch of men with vagina brains, it makes sense.

Liberals war on women! They are cancelling women to make them “persons with vaginas”. They are reducing women to just their genitalia, or if man just claims to be a woman, then he is a woman.

Sometimes people just need to have some sense beaten into them.

Many judges need to be beaten

Another aggravating nonsensical term:
Newspaper reports have been saying:
A pregnant person.

Photo caption: (apologies the McClintock screenplay writers)

Woman: Trudeau, you’ve caused a lot of trouble to a lot of people here.
You’re the one who kicked me out of my house by raising taxes so high to pay for illegals. Including the one who stole my car.

You and your soft on crime policies let me get surrounded and beaten on the way to the store last year. I was in the hospital for two weeks and couldn’t afford it.

Somebody oughta kick you in the groin hard. Real hard.
Somebody but not me.

But I won’t, I won’t, the hell I won’t!”

(hard thud, moaning and Trudeau goes down)
