The video starts with a woman—let's call her, say, "Helena" (although she goes by MH Wiebe)—in a pink hoodie woodenly swaying to a beat ripped straight out of 1992."Come on, come on," she starts her song off—an obvious citation of Smash Mouth. With her recognition of the greats that come before her, she moves on to the crux of her argument: I'm tone-deaf, and hopefully you are too.Her first verse is basically just the white woman equivalent of the "sad white guy shuffle." In it, she says this isn't a topic that legislatures should be worrying about, but she drifts into worrying territory when she "sings":Are there 6, perhaps, 13 in essence,Children in Alberta who switch gender pretense?No.This notion, that there are only a few kids affected by these laws, and that their minority status somehow makes their needs irrelevant, is not only misguided but dumb and dangerous.Now that she's had her fun saying that there are far fewer transgender children in her province than there actually are, she sings her own hook and apparently forgets the name of the song is "Gender Bender" not "Fender Bender."
