Because virtually all the reporters and editors working for the major media in Canada are progressives like you and support transgenderism everywhere without constraint - like you do. They don't report on things like this much, any more than they'll report on the oddity of how many criminals are clearly immigrants. Or how many of the hate crimes being committed against Jews and Gays are coming from Muslim immigrants.

I found one report from notorious columnist Barbara Kay in the Post over the weekend mentioning that virtually every incident of hate crime against Jews where the police have caught someone in Quebec has been someone from North Africa. But don't expect the media to echo that or even investigate it. 

Like you, they feel this is the sort of thing people should not only not know about, but not be allowed to know about.

They’re clinging to narratives of the white saviour and noble savage.  The reality is that the people running our government are naive fools who think that everyone who has come here from cultures with very different values can fit in easily and support what people have valued for generations about Canada.

Meanwhile, in the sane world: "ICC (International Cricket Council) has become the latest sports body (following rugby, athletics, cycling, swimming leagues) to ban transgender athletes from elite women's sport if they have gone through male puberty".

I recall someone here liked to boast "science-based policy". Is it still on, or the political agenda driven by pure ideology at last took over?

Not ideology but anger...

There's far too much ego-feeding in the media and angering people is somehow part of that.

Our institutions are falling apart because we stopped worrying about what’s important, such as a military having good morale and being well equipped or schools having rigorous education or any government service actually delivering that service effectively.  Instead we are worried about identifying and giving special treatment to designated victim groups: trans people, lesbian/gay, BIPOC, etc.  

I agree with you but you need to add populist snowflakes to the list.

What about Cultural Marxist equivocators?

No I don't think so. It's the government that has clearly run its course from some promise (not sure if realized in any way, recall the election reform, "the last election") to desperately trying to locate and install a valid cause for its existence when it clearly doesn't have any. That minimal hypothesis explains pretty much everything we observe these days.
