Trans people's health care, like abortion and birth control, is held to a higher standard than any other care--not because of it's safety or efficacy, but because of who it helps. Gender clinics keep trans kids alive and there are many people who would prefer they didn't.
Conservative premiers are coming for trans kids’ inclusion, rights and well-being under the guise of “parental rights”. Thought the “culture war” of America couldn’t happen in Canada? It’s already here.
As someone who 1. Grew up in a fundie family and school, & 2. Who has fought against the religious right in #hamont for years, it's taken me a few days to figure out what I want to say. 🧵I'm going to #dobetterforbekett by exposing how Redeemer has made #hamont worse for LGBTQ

Hey @cityofhamilton - budget votes are underway, many can't delegate, meanwhile there are no emails listed for the new council - how is this possible? Email addresses were assigned weeks ago! This is basically silencing residents on this issue. hamilton.ca/city-council/c…
100%. As a #hamont queer working in national 2SLGBTQI+ spaces, Hamilton is the canary in the coal mine, a lightening rod for transphobia and homophobia. When QTs in Hamilton see attacks like Colorado Springs, it hits HARD. Because we know how easy it would be for it to be here.
This is the time to attend drag shows, even if normally you'd just stay home. Your presence means something! Be willing to show up as a an ally, and I mean really show up. Bigots are ultimately cowards, and they only feel emboldened when no one confronts them.
@QueenMaureenGC Many children are and/or have 2SLGBTQ+ people in their everyday lives. The Drag Storytime program aligns with HPL's Strategic Plan to be a community hub. For further discussion, contact our Program Development Manager at 905.546.3200. - Team HPL
You can be part of a safety plan for queer and trans folks. You can be part of a caravan to transport drag performers to and from shows. You can train to de-escalate situations with police. You can interrupt your family members who call us groomers. Mobilize your outrage.
A trans woman and a man who left the military due to disgust with the violence prevented further deaths in a mass shooting before the man was held by police for over an hour and it was turned into Hero Veteran Uses Military Training to Fight the Bad Guy, Drag Queen Helps
Sept: "someone needs to do something about these perverted drag artists grooming our children" Oct: "someone needs to do something about these perverted drag artists spreading gayness" Nov: "the massacre at the drag night was an utter tragedy but we mustn't politicise it" ...
when we say debates around drag + gender ideology have lethal consequences, this is what we mean. last night - don't forget, this is the weekend of #TDOR - a mass shooter killed five people and wounded 18 more in a mass shooting at an LGBTQ bar. washingtonpost.com/nation/2022/11…
