To everyone who transitioned later in life: Thank you for reminding us that life doesn’t run out of chances. You’ve shown that new beginnings can happen at any age. And that happiness can still find you, no matter when you start.

If you keep lowering your standards to “win” against the other side, eventually you’ll just be on the other side

Don't engage. Just block. They want to push their rage bait on here. Don't give them the satisfaction. bsky.app/profile/did:...

The trump regime is setting up official agency accounts here on BlueSky, and they’re dragging their MAGA trolls with them. Block liberally.

1. Many of you have seen a graph purporting to show trans identification has decreased in recent years. Matt Walsh and Elon Musk celebrated it as a victory over "transgenderism." Turns out, the entire graph is based on an egregious math and statistics error. Subscribe to support our journalism.

“I have to figure out how I'm going to keep my child alive until I can get out of this province." 😞 It shouldn’t have to be like this.

The trailblazing transgender rights activist Miss Major has passed away at the age of 78. Miss Major was a lifelong organizer and participant in the ballroom scene. She took part in the 1969 Stonewall Riots and was injured by the police — but she kept fighting.

When history writes about the resistance, it will begin with the Transgender Americans who refused to disappear. And those who stood with them through thick and thin. 🏳️‍⚧️💪

On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. ❤️🏳️‍🌈

This afternoon, OneBC Kelowna-Lake Country-Coldstream MLA Tara Armstrong invited Billboard Chris to the BC Legislature. This appears to be retaliation after the legislature voted to condemn the Association for Reformed Political Action for their bigoted views.

“this is another sad day in the B.C. legislature when conservative politicians are trying to dictate what parents should be doing and decisions they should be making with love and support for their children, and we're picking on vulnerable children” Thank you @nikisharma.bsky.social 🙏🏳️‍⚧️💕

I am glad to read the head of the Canadian Civil Liberties Association supporting me and taking a stand for academic freedom!

Sign the new House of Commons e-petition calling on the Government of Canada to strengthen protections for LGBTQ+ people worldwide and reaffirm Canada’s role as a safe haven. Thank you to MP Rob Oliphant for sponsoring this important petition. www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...

I went through conversion therapy. I hate that name. It's not therapeutic. And it's not that it doesn't work. I hate when people say that, because "doesn't work" implies a placebo. Conversion therapy isn't.

TIL last year a small southern US publisher took control of most of British Columbia’s community newspapers. The behaviour outlined in this article is deeply unethical and should concern anyone who reads (or writes for) Black Press, including Kelowna Capital News.

The strongest allies are not always in your face. Often they are quietly working behind the scenes with little to no recognition. The test of a true ally is not only what people say and do when everybody is looking but also what they say and do with few people looking.

the people who told us to calm down because Roe was settled law are the same people now telling us to calm down because the military would never open fire on Americans

Here is the speech I gave at University of Regina on the disinformation storm that is coming and MAGA's attack on education. www.youtube.com/watch?v=BmMl...

Major victory in Kansas for transgender people. The Kansas Supreme Court declined to block a lower court ruling on gender markers on drivers license. ACLU Kansas says trans people can get their licenses updated starting Tuesday. The latest from S. Baum. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Some academics and administrators are brave in the face of fascism. Some are not. Some are complicit. Some are apologists. It's not that hard to tell them apart.

It would be better for Canadians (and others) not to travel to the United States at all.

A message from @aoc.bsky.social to #trans kids in America. ❤️

As my colleague @senatorpaulasimons.bsky.social has suggested, this is another compelling example of why we need our own Made in Canada trusted traveller program.

Today, I asked the Government Representative in the Senate of Canada about how the Federal Government will protect the Charter rights of 2SLGBTQI+ Albertans in the face of the Government of Alberta threatening to use the Notwithstanding clause to violate their human rights. #cdnpoli

"Why would it bow to antidemocratic pressures by placing a professor on leave without their request, consent, or involvement? That any university would do this is beyond comprehension and is cause for alarm about the future of academic freedom in Canada."

Part of the art of community organizing is knowing when to let one's self be organized by the community.

Danielle Smith is lying. Puberty blockers are fully reversible and their use is supported by the Canadian Medical Association, the Cdn Pediatric Society, & all prov medical associations. No one stays on them forever and when they stop taking them, puberty resumes. Those are the facts.

The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to be a major owner of TikTok. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?

1. In a groundbreaking legal filing, transgender patients, represented by Women's Law Project, have filed a legal complaint against UPMC for capitulating to Trump and dropping trans care. Federal funding threats do not override state law. Subscribe to support our journalism.

1. Trump has dug in on anti-trans provisions in the shutdown fight this morning, cancelling a meeting with Dems unless they cave on trans people. His post to Truth Social is a clear indication that Republicans are making targeting trans people a priority. Subscribe to support our journalism.

I'll say this as a cishet man: I've never heard a valid argument against medical gender transition, because every one boils down to "I don't want my children to change." Sorry to inform the bigots, but you can't make your children stay the same forever.

Only 1 person in the whole study went from identifying as trans to not identifying as trans. The 1/5 number came from youth going between the binary and non-binary spectrum. This headline and post are misleading on purpose to fit the economist's editorial bent on the political issue.

“The Canadian Medical Association calls on the Alberta government to refrain from invoking the notwithstanding clause to enact legislation that directly interferes in the clinical care of patients.” #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli www.cma.ca/about-us/wha...

“Their laughter over the deaths of LGBTQ+ people while acting aghast that anyone would say anything untoward about Kirk’s death is meant to be a display of power to force the rest of us to accept that some lives matter more than others.” www.lgbtqnation.com/2025/09/the-...

Instead of a moment of silence for Charlie Kirk, I will be observing a lifetime of speaking out against bigotry and fascism.

Today, Canada recognises the State of Palestine.   My statement: www.pm.gc.ca/en/news/stat...

There are many lawful and appropriate ways to express your views. There is no “freedom of hate” in Canada. If you do the hate crime, you will serve time. www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/art...

Only 16% said they disagreed with the statement, “We can never trust the Americans the same way again" 😬

On the anniversary of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’s repeal, we honor the bravery of LGBTQIA+ service members. Today is also a stark reminder: our communities are under attack. Hateful policies continue to harm those who serve our country with dignity. We must keep fighting for true equality.

This is the most consequential Bill to address hate crimes in the last 50 years. All of these changes are urgently needed to help keep all Canadians safe and included in every community from coast-to-coast-to coast. www.canada.ca/en/departmen...

This is the way.

The time to listen to trans people was 10 years ago but, you know, you can start any time you're ready.

This is a direct assault on human rights and an attack on 2SLGBTQI+ communities. The govt knows their legislation is discriminatory and unconstitutional, which will be struck down in court. Albertans should strongly object. Who will be targeted next? www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

The first time an Alberta government invoked the notwithstanding clause, public outrage forced a reversal in less than 24 hours. I wish to God Albertans would show the same moral fury now, when school children are outed & bullied by the government that is supposed to protect them. #ableg #abpoli
