NEWS RELEASE from Culture Guard
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE—Dec. 5, 2019
Complaint says, Trans Activist lawyer lied about non-existent ‘preferred pronouns’ law. Law Society complaint filed.
Dec. 5, 2019 — Culture Guard executive director Kari Simpson has filed a complaint with the Law Society of BC about a video published by CUPE, and features a lawyer, that deceives people into thinking the law compels everyone to use the preferred pronouns of trans-identified individuals.
No such law exists, either in BC or Canadian statute law.
Lawyer Adrienne Smith, a self-proclaimed transgender activist, is a biological female who identifies as being “non-binary (neither male nor female) and proclaims the Bio-denier political rhetoric. (Bio-denier is an activists that reject the realities associated with human biology.)
In her complaint to the Law Society of BC, Mrs. Simpson cites Section 3 (a) of the Legal Professions Act, which requires all lawyers to “uphold the rights of all persons.” But by saying the law requires people to use transgenders’ preferred pronouns, says Simpson, lawyer Smith promulgates a lie that infringes Canadians’ Charter-protected right to freedom of expression.
Simpson also cites Section 7 of the Law Society’s own rules, which states that a lawyer who engages in another profession, business, or occupation concurrently with the practice of law “must not allow such outside interest to jeopardize the lawyer’s professional integrity, independence or competence.”
“Clearly,” says Simpson in her complaint, “Smith’s political zealotry on matters involving transgenderism and identity politics has jeopardized her competency.” Deliberately misrepresenting the law, and then demanding that her audience conform to a nonexistent law “does more than jeopardize her personal integrity—it extinguishes it,” says the complaint.
The remedies Simpson requests from the Law Society include:
• That lawyer Smith provide the law society with a list of all meetings, events or gatherings at which she misinformed those attending about the alleged “mandatory use of pronouns”;
• That the law society provide to those who were responsible for organizing the event(s) a letter advising of Smith’s misconduct, and ask that the letter be provided to all attenders;
• Require Smith to publish on her social media accounts and on her work website the findings of the Law Society with regard to this complaint, and the letter of the Law Society; and
• Require removal of the misleading video from the Internet.
