'Deadnaming' Is Now Classified as 'Gender-Based Violence' in Liberal Canada

Jonathon Van Maren-Blog : Apr 15, 2026  LifeSiteNews.com

The Canadian government's 'gender-based violence' framework now treats public opposition to transgender demands as equivalent to physical and sexual harm.

[LifeSiteNews.com] Canadians have been reluctant to recognize just how much their country has changed over the past decade. Although Canadian Christians are beginning to wake up, there are still many who are persuaded that there is a ceiling to how totalitarian the Canadian government can get. (Image: Unsplash-Kyle)

I heard from many, for example, who insisted that the Carney government's Bill C-9which removes the "hate speech" exemption for sincerely-held religious beliefswas "fixed" at committee when the Liberals announced that their legislation would not apply to "worship, sermons, prayer, religious education, peaceful debate, or even the good faith of reading and discussion of religious texts."

Howeverand this is the important bitthis is only the case as long as people do not, in the eyes of the government, "willfully promote" hatred against groups such as LGBT people.

As always, the terminology here means everything. Many Canadian Christians might shrug and think: Well, I don't say anything willfully hateful, and I abhor violence—so I'll be fine. My church will be fine. My Christian institution will be fine. Perhaps. But let's take a look at what the Canadian government actually says about terminology directly relating to this debate.

One example would be "deadnaming," a term invented to refer to using the previous name of a trans-identifying person after they have assumed an alter ego. An example of "deadnaming" would be referring to "Caitlyn Jenner" by his birth name "Bruce Jenner"in any context.

On the Canadian government's official website under the "Women and Gender Equality Canada" section, the government details its view of "gender-based violence" (GBV), gives tips on how Canadians can stop gender-based violence, and then provides some helpful descriptions of "what gender-based violence can look like." Some are standard and should not be controversialsharing intimate photos, pressuring someone into sex, assuming consent, and controlling behavior, for example

Then, the government lists "deadnaming," prefacing examples of this "gender-based violence" with a trigger warning. The government presents the following scenario, and asks Canadians to identify it:

Someone from your school who transitioned and now identifies as a girl has been posting about her journey on social media. People begin making negative comments about her appearance and deadnaming her online. When you mention it to a friend, they dismiss it as "just trolling."

Sois this "gender-based violence"? The required answer, according to the government:

This is a case of technology-facilitated violence, where the person is experiencing emotional violence due to their gender, gender identity, gender expression, or perceived gender in the digital world.

Deadnamingusing someone's former name without their consent and despite being advised of their true nameis a form of aggression that is demeaning and disrespectful, as it actively denies their identity.

Obviously, there is no good excuse for being a jerk online. But if you do not accept the fundamental premises of gender ideology and say so online, this, according to the government, is "a case of technology-facilitated violence" and "emotional violence." The government advises Canadians to track cases of such "violence"... Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
