Billboard Chris Takes His Message To Toronto And Ottawa Schools

The Activist Who Doesn't Seem To Have The Right To Not Be Repeatedly Violently Assaulted In Canadian Streets

This is a guest post by Woke Watch Canada supporter James Pew aka @NotWokeThinker.

Note to readers: It’s time to stand up to the mainstreaming of radical gender ideology in Ontario schools. Use our list of contacts below to let educators and politicians know that voices of caution, like Billboard Chris’, are rational and deserve to be heard!

Demand that Free Speech not be infringed and assert that conversations around the use of puberty blocking drugs and surgeries in children must be permitted to take place in unhindered open public discourse. Here is a link to all the relevant email and twitter addresses to send your letters to: Woke Watch Canada’s Billboard Chris Letter Writing Campaign.

Below are the details regarding the recent events that occurred in both Toronto and Ottawa, involving Billboard Chris and his activist mission.

“The flood of hormones that come with puberty help to align gender dysphoric children with their natal sex.” -Dr. Debra Soh, The End Of Gender

Let me explain.

Followers of Woke Watch Canada will likely have noticed the mountain of tweets regarding @billboardChris and his recent visits to Toronto and Ottawa. I’ve shared a few below to give you an idea of what Chris is typically up against.

A large group of teens from a nearby high school came over today to tell me how terrible I am, but that’s okay. They’re kids. Kids will be kids. I managed to convert the hate into fancy handshakes and selfies. Tomorrow we graduate to high fives.

Here is something that happened to Chris last year in Vancouver,

🅑🅘🅛🅛🅑🅞🅐🅡🅓 🅒🅗🅡🅘🅢 🍁 @BillboardChris

I’m commencing legal action against the VPD for my wrongful arrest on this date last year. I had gone downtown to have conversations and there were over 1000 people at the Vancouver Art Gallery, so I was just checking things out when I was surrounded nearly immediately. 1/5

So, what exactly did Chris do to deserve this animosity? Who is this guy?

Here’s some background information. Billboard Chris is a Canadian father of two girls. He is an activist who has become increasingly concerned with the teaching and promotion of gender ideology in schools. His advocacy work involves travelling across the country wearing a billboard that reads “Children Cannot Consent To Puberty Blockers.”

Given the dramatic increases in the use of puberty blocking drugs, cross-sex hormones and gender affirmation surgeries in children over the last decade or so, it is about time somebody started to ask questions.

Unlike “traditional” cases of gender dysphoria seen just 15 years ago, many children and teenagers who self-identify as trans today do so out of the blue, without history of significant dysphoria throughout childhood. In 2016, researchers coined the term “Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria” to describe this new phenomenon which primarily affects young girls, and which all too often results in irreversible damage from drugs and surgeries.

This is not yet widely understood, and Chris is working diligently to spread awareness among many shocked and confused teachers, parents, and students.

For more background, here is a video produced by one of Chris’ supporters.

🅑🅘🅛🅛🅑🅞🅐🅡🅓 🅒🅗🅡🅘🅢 🍁 @BillboardChris

Thank you SO MUCH to my new friend on Prince Edward Island, who put together this great video about what I’m up to. ❤️ Keep having conversations about the harm coming to kids indoctrinated by gender ideology.

Below is a list of Toronto District School Board administrators, staff at Bowmore Public School and the media outlets and journalists who misrepresented Chris. I’m recommending you send emails to ALL OF THEM!

Below that will be the same, related to Chris’s Ottawa visit. Please send letters to ALL OF THEM GUYS TOO! But before we get into the specifics of the Toronto & Ottawa controversies, here is a short list of general Billboard Chris talking points:

1) What is Chris’s goal? Simply, to have conversations and spread awareness about Gender Ideology, Affirmative Care and the medicalization of children.

2) What does Chris say about children? That children should be free to be who they are — not indoctrinated to believe they were born in the wrong body. He advocates for a supportive “wait and see” approach over the affirmative care presently used in Canadian schools.

🅑🅘🅛🅛🅑🅞🅐🅡🅓 🅒🅗🅡🅘🅢 🍁 @BillboardChris

“In our rush to validate and support trans-identifying young people, we’ve over-rotated and have forgotten that children go through many developmental phases, not the least of which is puberty itself.”

3) What does Chris say about parents? That issues with children are best dealt with by their parents and families. The fact that schools are now teaching kids that their parents and families are “out of touch”, and incapable of understanding issues of gender non-conformity, is disturbing and obviously wrong. Can you name one Canadian parent who would prefer to defer decision making and guidance around important life-altering decisions to their kid’s school?

🅑🅘🅛🅛🅑🅞🅐🅡🅓 🅒🅗🅡🅘🅢 🍁 @BillboardChris

It is the Toronto District School Board’s policy to HIDE FROM PARENTS that their child has taken on a new gender and a name change.

thepostmillennial.comREVEALED: Toronto school district helps students hide ‘transgender identity’ from parentsAn exhaustive and detailed memo from the Toronto District School Board shares ways that teachers and administrators can help students hide their gender transition from their parents.

4) What does Chris say about Gender Ideology in schools? Children are not mature enough to understand the intricacies of Gender Ideology, this makes them susceptible to faddish trends around gender non-conformity, and more seriously, social contagion like Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria.

5) Is Chris transphobic? Absolutely not! Chris has stated hundreds of times that he supports trans rights. He has many transgender supporters, too. Woke Watch Canada also supports trans rights!

6) Are people generally receptive to Chris’s message? Yes and no. Most people support Chris and feel the conversations he is trying to have with Canadians are important. However, Chris is constantly berated on the streets for standing with his signs, and has even been physically assaulted on multiple occasions. He ended up with a broken forearm once.

He does nothing but peacefully stand with his sign hoping to engage others in conversation. Unfortunately, some have been misled to believe that he is hateful, and thus they believe that using violence to silence him is justified. That is just not how a democracy works. Being repeatedly violently assaulted (by other Canadians) is wrong on so many levels.

Meditating: Shannon Just B @ShannonBDouglas

@TaniaAMarshall @katherine_deves @Transgendertrd @4th_WaveNow @OurDutyGrp Bless you. I was so inspired by @BillboardChris this week in Ottawa. Stood with his hands behind his back as he was assaulted for calling this out in my community. We must stand up. Accept sacrifices. People who know me know I'm loving man. Than can't be cancelled

Toronto & Ottawa

In mid October of this year, Billboard Chris brought his message to Bowmore Public School in Toronto, after audio leaked to social media revealed a shocking gender ideology “lesson” that took place in a Bowmore classroom. Here is a podcast where Chris walks us through audio footage.

🅑🅘🅛🅛🅑🅞🅐🅡🅓 🅒🅗🅡🅘🅢 🍁 @BillboardChris

The school won’t tell parents what kids are being taught, so I will. Here you go!

youtu.beLEAKED AUDIO: Toronto teacher grooms children to reject parents, and teaches false gender ideology.In every school across Canada, gender ideology is now taught as though it is scientific fact. Gender ideology is a pseudo-religion sweeping the western world...

Before Chris arrived in Toronto, the administration of Bowmore chose to warn their students about Chris and encouraged them to wear pink to “stand against him.” What a lost opportunity to teach children about democracy, debate and free speech.

🅑🅘🅛🅛🅑🅞🅐🅡🅓 🅒🅗🅡🅘🅢 🍁 @BillboardChris

This is an excerpt from an email I just received from a parent at Bowmore Road Public School. The Principal, Heather Groves, told all the kids over the P.A. system to wear pink to stand against my message. I love pink. In fact, I’m wearing my pink blazer tomorrow. Solidarity.

And here is how some teachers chose to deal with the issue,

🅑🅘🅛🅛🅑🅞🅐🅡🅓 🅒🅗🅡🅘🅢 🍁 @BillboardChris

This is what some teachers at Bowmore Road Public School spent the morning doing, before the school day started. “Medical choice for kids.” Why are school teachers promoting experimental pharmaceutical drugs and cross-sex hormones to children?

Much of the media parroted this same sentiment,

🅑🅘🅛🅛🅑🅞🅐🅡🅓 🅒🅗🅡🅘🅢 🍁 @BillboardChris

I sincerely want to thank NewsTalk 1010 for the added inspiration. I hadn’t planned on visiting any more schools on this trip. I hadn’t ruled it out, but the radio show made it abundantly clear this was a good idea.

omny.fmTransgender protester - The Breakfast Wrap - Omny.fmAccording to parents at one east end school, a man has been standing outside the building wearing signs and shouting anti-transgender statements at the students. Jennifer Little, parent to a trans child at the school, gives Moore In The Morning the story.

Frank Spiegelberg (father of a young girl who struggled with ROGD) was not having it:

Frank Spiegelberg @FSpiegelberg

@NEWSTALK1010 @MooreintheAM I’m appalled @ the shoddy reporting u presented on Friday re:@BillboardChris you chose 2 report on him negatively without knowing what his message was. I was there 2 support him as a father of a child affected by this ideology.

I was at Bowmore school with Billboard Chris on one of the afternoons he was there. Chris was already on my radar as I had written about him in my book, The Woke West, which I publish serially on substack every week.

Frank Spiegelberg and my friend Catherine were also there. Below is a retweet from Frank, whose family issues with ROGD thankfully resolved happily. This retweet is of a post written about the experience we had at Bowmore by Catherine. Click on the tweet to read screen shots of Catherine’s account of the afternoon we spent with Billboard Chris.

Frank Spiegelberg @FSpiegelberg

I can confirm this account of the events of that day. I was there and witnessed it all. Chris was calm and composed. He spoke clearly with no aggression or animosity in the face of other “adults” screaming at him. Most of the kids who came to ask questions were better behaved. https://t.co/zWfHnC6wGm

🅑🅘🅛🅛🅑🅞🅐🅡🅓 🅒🅗🅡🅘🅢 🍁 @BillboardChris

Thank you so much to my friend Catherine, for this wonderful post about our time at Bowmore Road Public School a few days ago. It was quite a scene. https://t.co/4UMZ2LPsCf

There was a Bowmore parent/teacher meeting about Chris. He wasn’t invited.

🅑🅘🅛🅛🅑🅞🅐🅡🅓 🅒🅗🅡🅘🅢 🍁 @BillboardChris

Bowmore Road Public School had a virtual meeting with parents last night about me. Of course, they refused to discuss what children are actually being taught. Instead, they are discussing with the city how to install a rainbow crosswalk where I stood. I like that idea.

After Chris left Toronto he headed to Ottawa to meet supporters and have conversations.

🅑🅘🅛🅛🅑🅞🅐🅡🅓 🅒🅗🅡🅘🅢 🍁 @BillboardChris

Time for school. For the next two days, I’ll be outside Nepean High School, Broadview Elementary, and Notre Dame High School in Ottawa. They’re all within two blocks of each other on the same street. Gender Ideology Does Not Belong in Schools!

Unfortunately the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board chose to “warn” students of an “anti-transgender protester” planning a demonstration. Can you call engaging in conversations a demonstration? Or does it make it a demonstration to do the same while wearing a billboard?

And most importantly, don’t you think schools and community leaders should avoid misrepresenting an innocent man as “anti-trans”? Who decided that labelling him “anti-trans” was accurate? Why didn’t they take the time to talk to him? To look at his website?

Here was Chris’s response to OCDSB,

🅑🅘🅛🅛🅑🅞🅐🅡🅓 🅒🅗🅡🅘🅢 🍁 @BillboardChris

I love all people. In fact, I love them so much that I think we should encourage children to love the bodies they are in, not tell them they are born in the wrong body. Kids don’t need experimental drugs that stop their development, followed by cross-sex hormones and surgeries. https://t.co/xESgDrzQzJ

OCDSB @OCDSB

It has come to our attention that an anti-transgender protester planned a small demonstration on Broadview Avenue today, near two OCDSB schools. Such acts of hatred are upsetting. We are actively monitoring the situation and ensuring there is no trespass on school grounds. 1/4

In Ottawa, things got ugly pretty quick. During his time there he was violently assaulted several times.

🅑🅘🅛🅛🅑🅞🅐🅡🅓 🅒🅗🅡🅘🅢 🍁 @BillboardChris

This man came with a premeditated plan to get arrested, and it worked! He was charged with assault.

Many of Chris friends came to his support, here’s an example

scotty guy @scottgeiler

My friend Chris is brave and does this from love. Ppl just don't understand. I was in the middle of the LGBTQ+ and was quite blind to the complexities. Brave loving acts like his help ppl wake up. Sorry you got assaulted.

🅑🅘🅛🅛🅑🅞🅐🅡🅓 🅒🅗🅡🅘🅢 🍁 @BillboardChris

This man came with a premeditated plan to get arrested, and it worked! He was charged with assault. https://t.co/VIpUSkxM7W

Chris used the attention the first assault won him to send a message to Canadian member of Parliament Catherine McKenna,

🅑🅘🅛🅛🅑🅞🅐🅡🅓 🅒🅗🅡🅘🅢 🍁 @BillboardChris

Yes, @cathmckenna, the police know. They just arrested a man for assaulting me. While I’ve got your attention, when you bring back Bill C-6 and try to criminalize therapists who help children feel comfortable with their sex, please be sensible and include this clause.

My friend Chanel met up with Chris in Ottawa to show her support. The mob thought it would be a good idea to assault her, too.

🅑🅘🅛🅛🅑🅞🅐🅡🅓 🅒🅗🅡🅘🅢 🍁 @BillboardChris

My friend @ChanLPfa had some liquid poured on her. My blazer got a bit of paint on it and some markings. One sign that @ShannonBDouglas had was still in good condition as we were getting in the car but it was grabbed and destroyed. It’s still back there.

As if that wasn’t bad enough, the harassment continued online. Chanel is a warrior though and takes it all like a champ…just like Chris!

Chan L 🇨🇦 @ChanLPfa

No wonder people are afraid to speak out. Some have become so blinded by their sense of moral righteousness that they have lost their concept of civility. @BillboardChris I am amazed that you continue to stand tall despite this type of continuous blind hatred. All my respect.

But nevertheless, Chris wins his battles one at a time.

🅑🅘🅛🅛🅑🅞🅐🅡🅓 🅒🅗🅡🅘🅢 🍁 @BillboardChris

Ottawa schools are responding. https://t.co/h2mnECJZmY

I have my kids trained to report to me at the slightest hint of gender woowoo in school. My 12-yr-old came home today reporting that they had to wear rainbow flag stickers all day & listen to a talk about the importance of supporting trans children & ignoring hateful transphobes!

It amazes me Chris is able to take the physical and verbal abuse. He remains calm and totally Zen-like at all times. Here is Chris surrounded by the mob. No one here was interested in conversation. An illustrative example of the mindlessness of Mob rule,

🅑🅘🅛🅛🅑🅞🅐🅡🅓 🅒🅗🅡🅘🅢 🍁 @BillboardChris

This was the scene this afternoon.

Here is another of Chris’ supporters describing the mob in Ottawa,

Shannon B looking @bellmedia #letstalk @ShannonBDouglas

What you didn't see was Chris getting punched in the head and spit on The crowd separated us and screamed every abuse you could imagine... death threats. Yet one or two kids made eye contact and we had small exchanges of ideas. You could see the puzzlement in their eyes

🅑🅘🅛🅛🅑🅞🅐🅡🅓 🅒🅗🅡🅘🅢 🍁 @BillboardChris

This was the scene this afternoon. https://t.co/t6sK9Vdpu6

The media is dropping the ball on this story, and doing a grave disservice to Canadians in the process.

🅑🅘🅛🅛🅑🅞🅐🅡🅓 🅒🅗🅡🅘🅢 🍁 @BillboardChris

I talked to CBC for 15 minutes today, and I hear that not one single second made it onto their news segment tonight. You know what that means? They couldn’t find a shred of hate that they wanted to fill out their narrative.

The longer Chris stayed in Ottawa, the worse things got. Getting yelled at, spit on, having your property stolen and damaged, and physical assault is what happens, apparently, if you have the nerve to exercise your democratic right to free speech.

🅑🅘🅛🅛🅑🅞🅐🅡🅓 🅒🅗🅡🅘🅢 🍁 @BillboardChris

The afternoon visit didn’t have the best crowd control. It was way better this morning. We were only there for 13 minutes and weren’t allowed to walk freely. I was punched in the head a couple times, but not too hard. My signs got destroyed with felt markers and paint.

Please write letters to the TDSB, OCDSB, Ontario MPP’s and all the media mentioned who repeated false rumours about Chris.

Thank you.

Here is a message you can cut and paste:

I am writing to you to express my concern about the treatment of Billboard Chris and the systemic silencing of all who share his views. As a concerned parent/citizen, I share his view that radical gender ideology should not be taught to children in Ontario schools. Billboard Chris raises thoughtful questions that are shared by many parents.

Our children cannot consent to the social experiment being hoisted on them by gender ideologues. As parents/citizens, we have never been asked, nor have we ever consented to, this experiment. I demand that Ontario School Boards stop mainstreaming radical views about gender without parents’ permission and that Billboard Chris’ right to freedom of expression and peaceful protests is respected.
