In the spring of 2017, Bill Whatcott published a flyer characterizing me and other transgender people as delusional, mentally unwell, disease-ridden, immoral, detestable liars.

Stealing somebody's dignity because she belongs to a community you revile is not the result of an independent mind but a time-tested act of hate propaganda.
Your blind spots may stop you from seeing it, Barbara, but your "sad affliction" is, it seems, transphobia.

I have an independent mind and can't seem to ignore either reality or a pernicious ideology when I see one. I know, sad affliction.

Vancouver resident Meghan Murphy patholgizes and demonizes women who are transgender despite knowing it is a violation of Canadian law to do so.
Her discredited essentialist feminism is the new phrenology, 30 years out of date.

My first try to come out as Transgender was in the mid-90s. it went exceedingly poorly. I backed down and kept it to myself.
I navigated my identity alone for decades until I found strength to be authentic to my kids and myself.
I came out in 2013.

Those among us who are not transgender may not understand the enormous symbolic value of this decision. VRR's ongoing and very public refusal to treat transgender women equally has finally been refuted by a public agency as unacceptable.
Vancouver Rape Relief had a year to clean up their act and update their policies so they would meet Vancouver's elegibility criteria for 2020 funding.
Their choice not to do the work is as deplorable as the consequences were foreseeable because

Hey

this is second incident I’ve seen caused by these useless ‘slow street’ beaches installed last century. They don’t slow down traffic; they cause crashes and traffic chaos.
Homes are for living in and residential mortgages should be for people living in their homes.
I support initiatives to require that residential mortgages be only for Canadian residents living on the property.
Commercial lending should handle the others.

I call bullshit. You seem to have inherited uneqrned privilege from strong Lesbians, and Gays and most likely Trans women and now pretend to be the hero. They'll come after you next.
Good.
Police facing criminal charges for criminal misconduct helps show us all they are our protectors and not our oppressors. Because trust is desperately lacking.
A New York City police officer surrendered this morning to face criminal charges after he was recorded shoving a Floyd protester to the ground and calling her a “bitch.”

Thank you for actively standing up for inclusion.
Here's the article.
@msmagazine
is it common journalistic practice to allow interviewees to vet other interviewees for articles? Is it ethical to remove quotes after the fact because one interviewee has political disagreements with another?
Cis and Trans people alike, like European and Asian and African people, and like Jewish and non-Jewish people, all know that a discriminatory policy put forward by Elon Musk to isolate one adjective "cisgender" or "cis" as slur or hate speech would be a despicable attack on one
@JamesEsses
Repeated, targeted harassment against any account will cause the harassing accounts to receive, at minimum, temporary suspensions.
The words “cis” or “cisgender” are considered slurs on this platform.

Equally plausible:
A transphobic mom scares her your gender questioning child into toeing her line and wait for another day. Maybe they weren't trans, maybe they were. They'll find out in the next decades.

A worker can refuse to perform unsafe or undignified work within reason, but their employer is required to employ staff that will do the work it advertises.
Oger v Whatcott has adjourned pending the respondent submitting a written response to the AG position by Thursday.

Meghan, it's 2018... In BC and throughout Canada, trans women are women and protected as such no matter how hard you try to turn your logic into a pretzel.
There's no room for hate in BC.

I am saddened how often I have to say this lately.
Trans women are women.
Gender identity or expression are explicitly protected attributes in Canada.
Discrimination on the basis of gender identity or expression is an act of hate.
