Trans People are a Menace to God-Fearing Toilets

As with any narrative of ‘political correctness gone mad’, this specific example provides us with a surreal and topsy-turvy inversion.  It relocates a marginalized group – in this case trans people – in a position of great power and influence, and thereby helps disguise the vulnerability of the group and the social oppression and discrimination it is subject to.   In the US, for instance, trans women are more than four times more likely to be murdered than cisgender women.  Black trans women are seven times more likely to be murdered than the average member of the general population.

At the end of the day, "groom*" is a word in the English language. Times change, however.

In 2023 h/e - amidst a societal tsunami of polarizing anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric / legislation / violence - and as a trans person I take exception to the CBC normalizing the use of that word.
