Science is entirely on the side of the trans community, including trans kids. This resolution passed 153-9. Every other major medical organization has the same position. The disconnect between science and mainstream media is astounding and shameful.
I see Pierre Poilievre chose to respond to a clickbait rag more interested in fear than facts, on a topic that is not an actual problem, and isn’t even in federal jurisdiction.
Why is Poilievre interested in policing Canadians’ genitals? What problem is solved? (None.)
(Extreme anti-trans hatred from the US is being imported, and he doesn’t want to lose votes on the right. This will get worse, and we will lose children to this hate.)
I believe one of our priorities as #trans people should be to #ProtectTransKids by keeping them out of schools. I'm going to try to start talking to parents, but I don't have kids, I just occasionally work with them.
I do not believe that post-2020 schooling is worth the physical risk to children, whether trans or not, and I believe trans kids are too precious to risk in this way.
When my brother kicked my ass and broke my shoulder, my parents also refused to call an ambulance. For me, this is the true danger sign. There will always be violent people, but bystanders should never be handmaidens to their violence, or guarantee death to their victims.
"Owasso High School refused to call an ambulance for 16-year-old Nex Benedict, who died from their injuries in the hospital the next day."
“This week, Florida officials revoked transgender residents’ ability 2 update gender markers on driver’s licenses & ID cards; Utah passed a bill banning transgender people from bathrooms corresponding 2 their gender identity; & Texas’ attorney general pressed a clinic in Georgia 4 medical records of transgender youths who used telehealth 2 obtain gender-affirming care” #ProtectTransKids#transphobiahttps://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2024/02/06/anti-trans-bills-grow-2024/72353716007/
So proud of Calgary for filling the whole City Hall plaza with thousands of people protesting Danielle Smith’s anti-trans, anti-LGBTQ bigotry targeting children.
Give a supportive call to CA Assemblyperson Al Muratsuchi, the head of the Education Committee. He has been helping block an awful bill (AB 1314) that would force schools to out trans kids, along with other anti-trans policies. He's gotten a lot of harassment from awful people, but calls in support can help balance out the bigotry.
You don't have to be part of his district either, because he serves all of California as head of the education committee.
Call him at 310-375-0691 to just say thanks for protecting LGBTQ kids and families!
