My letter:

I am thoroughly disgusted by your selection of a man as "woman of the year" from Minnesota.

And not just any man! One who advocates relentlessly for the mutilation and sterilization of children.

This ridiculous choice is both unfathomable and unconscionable.

Please issue a retraction immediately, and select an actual woman. I am quite sure that there are some in Minnesota.

It's crap from people who make it up as they go along, whatever does the job, gets them noticed, has people kissing their arses and telling them how brave they are, blah, blah. Yeah, a bunch of men bullying women, including very young women by forcing their way into their spaces are soooooo brave.

This man represents a danger to confused and troubled minors who are experiencing anxiety over their sex identity and not feeling comfortable in their bodies. Anyone encouraging children to cause harm to them and become alienated from their parents is a predatory groomer. That's what he is and he needs to be prevented from pursuing this not having it made easier for him and being given honours. He's a vile creep and that's how he needs to be treated.

I've noticed that in Canada, they prefix the usual LGBT...etc with '2S' so it becomes 2SLGBT...etc. Can't shed any light on what it means though!

It means “two spirit” which supposedly is an umbrella term to describe gender diverse or gay people in North American indigenous communities.

Like “gay Native-American”? That would be too easy!🤣

What I find most depressing is that this person has been elected, which means that people have knowingly voted for him to be in a position of authority. Who are these people and what on earth were they thinking?

Depressing indeed. My two cents is that Minnesota and Canada have both long prided themselves on thinking they're nicer, more tolerant, more progressive than people in other less wonderful places. (We know the lore about pride. Or we should.) Both have fallen heavily for the indoctrinatory tenets of transgenderism. 'THE most oppressed vulnerable people' so you'd better grant their every wish, 'affirm trans kids or they'll want to commit suicide', 'born in the wrong body' so offer hormones and surgeries with zero diagnostic scrutiny – all the stuff that aims to manipulate sympathies.

Pride in showing everyone how tolerant and open-minded you are, no distinctions allowed to be made or lines to be drawn? Discernment is a valued quality for good reason.

Having said that, I don't know anything about this race or his election.

Great comment- discernment is a VALUED quality for VERY GOOD REASON!

Yeah, and isn't it sad that discernment's equivalent of being discriminating in the admirable sense – being able to tell the difference BETWEEN things, which may appear similar yet be different in subtle, key ways – has been repackaged as if a bad thing. To be discriminating gets alchemized into or confused with 'discrimination'.
