Things that do NOT change that: - Your history as a ciswoman. - My history as a ciswoman. - Your misleading "essay", including: - outdated statistics - discredited scientists - methodologically flawed research - transmedicalism Transwomen are women.

Speaking as one of the "the huge numbers of women who have histories like mine", I wasn’t born with enough middle fingers to express how I feel about you, J.K. Rowling. Transwomen are women.

@aldomaccione7 @ctvqp It's almost as if we could use the money from defunding the police to do those things.

Today at the park, someone apologized for mis-gendering my kid by saying, "Oh, I'm sorry. I thought she was a boy because she is so brave and independent."

This is racism. A racist microaggression magnified nationally. Denial, erasure- lazy, willful neglect of lived & documented anti-Black, settler colonial, anti-Muslim, anti-Asian, anti-Semitic racism in Canada now & historically. He cites nothing. Remove this & issue an apology.

@adr I started my job one week before the lockdown. It's an odd way to start!

But yeah, let's keep talking about how tolerant we are in Canada, instead of listening to these stories and paying attention. It's more fun to pat each other on the back.

My other friend chimed in that she gets asked at the hospital all the time now, "Where are you from? Are you from China?" For the record, yes, her family is from China, and she has lived in Canada since she was 11. The hospital staff treat her poorly.

Today, I was speaking to two friends. One told me a story of how, yesterday, she went to a print shop to print a return label for Amazon. The person working there asked if she was from Wuhan, and increased the printing price.

@libraryzombie @winelibrarian So many contradictions. "Don't swear" and "have kids"? Yeah, you only get to pick one of those.

Because trans folks have been kicked out or not allowed to use city washrooms. Because our one yearly park event continues to be disrupted by hate groups. Because we get harassed on the street. Because city councillors still don't understand what we go through daily. #hamont

Mount Clr John Paul Danko is asking staff why Ham's LGBTQ community don't feel save in city's facilities. Ham's Al Fletcher says officials need to talk to group first to understand their needs. #hamOnt

I just invited my husband (and father of my daughter) to my Google Home. I feel like this is a huge step in our relationship, and I worry that I'm not ready for this level of commitment.
