Want to get a sense of what this Trans Canada Tour is all about? We spoke with CBC Newfoundland and Labrador ahead of our events in St John's and Clarenville next week, inviting islanders to join us for Ask a Trans Person Anything. www.cbc.ca/player/play/...

*whispers to the progressive media ecosystem* You should cover queer and trans issues more beyond just responsive comms when governments take our rights away (Our Trans Canada Tour is so cool you should write about it* ❤️) *I am so biased but I am not wrong

“Canada’s going to have to decide,” Johnstone said in an interview from Halifax on Sunday. “Are we going to be a bastion of human rights, a free society that welcomes dialogue and protects minorities? Or, are we gonna go the Trumpian route?” www.cp24.com/news/canada/...

Carney announces environment to be eliminated as cost-cutting measure

I would like everyone to know i have officially declared two union presidents (one federation president and one provincial affiliate) honourary homosexuals. This decision was formally ratified by gay unionists. You can discover who they are based on their propensity for glittery shoes.

Headed home (briefly 😅) after a phenomenal few days in Winnipeg at the @canadianlabour.bsky.social convention. Honored to have hosted the CLC Women's Forum on Tuesday night ✊🏻🔥✨️ And forever grateful to Canada's workers movement for their support of trans people in these tough times.

We are hosting Ask a Trans Person Anything events across Canada. Why? Because we are being lied about, Canadians have questions about the ~trans agenda~ and we have answers!!! See you there? www.transcanadatour.ca/asktrans

just to be clear, everyone, when 8 pm EDT comes and goes, regardless of what does or does not happen, the president still threatened genocide and war crimes and we should still impeach, arrest, and try him

Future generations will look back on our period in history and wonder how this behaviour came to be normalized

UCP's 'neutrality' bill will very likely reinforce right-wing ideology in schools. Even though the Conservatives say this will create "welcoming, caring, respectful and safe learning environments", they've banned gender affirming care & pride flags are likely next. www.thestar.com/news/canada/...

I signed up as a monthly donor to @queermomentum.ca. We're big fans of @faejohnstone.bsky.social and appreciate all the work she does on behalf of trans people. #transdayofvisibility #protectthedolls

Fae's essay: www.wayves.ca/tdov-2026-fa... "Now, we need our allies to be visible with us - to speak up for our freedom and rights. When far right and authoritarian forces come for trans people, they weaken the norms and principles that uphold our democratic, pluralistic and multicultural society."

To my trans community: thank you. You inspire me every day. You make this world a better place. You taught me how to love myself. You have unlocked in me a dream of a world where ✨️everyone✨️ is freed from puritanical gender norms, from patriarchy and heteronormativity. Thank you. I love you.

Today, a group of Albertan parents of trans youth went to the Legislature to demand a meeting with Premier Danielle Smith. She didn't just refuse to meet. She refused to acknowledge the request. She made their families suffer, and refuses to hear their stories.

Canadians deserve a bold and unashamedly progressive political party and you should not underestimate its potential ✨️ Congratulations @avilewis.ca

If you know me, you know I love writing in queer media. That's why I am proud to share my first piece in Wayves Magazine - Atlantic Canada's home for queer news and commentary - for Trans Day of Visibility. Read the full piece at www.Wayves.ca

It’s “laudable” that B.C. is investing in its in-province gender-affirming care capacity, said Queer Momentum exec director @faejohnstone.bsky.social. At the same time, it’s “critical” the province doesn’t interrupt care or increase wait times, she added.

Danielle Smith’s push to suspend charter rights of trans youth is cowardly — and abandons conservative values #Opinion from @faejohnstone.bsky.social

Premier Danielle Smith is a coward, a bully and a hypocrite. Stripping kids of rights and denying them their day in court isn't leadership, it's cowardice. Sure, she's able to suspend their rights. That doesn't mean she should. My latest 👇🏻👇🏻 www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

Ottawa Trans March is happening on August 22nd at 6pm! I'll see you there!!!

If we don't see new investments (like in the upcoming federal budget) in Women and Gender Equality Canada, the department will see an 80% budget reduction by 2027-2028. Cuts will jeopardize 🇨🇦's progress towards gender equality & 🏳️‍🌈 rights. Take action: www.momentumcanada.net/cuts

I'm listening to Ezra Klein podcast ft Sarah Mcbride and I would encourage all my trans activist pals to give it a listen too. Feel how you want about either of them. But there are some nuggets of wisdom I think we must hear. open.spotify.com/episode/1Ryl...
