LGBTQ people in Iran and Egypt live under laws that treat their existence as a crime. In Iran, same-sex intimacy can mean prison, flogging, or even execution. In Egypt, “morality” and “debauchery” laws are used to jail people for who they are, how they dress, or what they post online. This is not “cultural difference.” It is state-sanctioned persecution that must be named for what it is.

More than a million Canadian families include transgender loved ones. So why are Canadian conservatives such as Alberta Premier Danielle Smith and OneBC’s chief of staff and leader pushing anti-trans rhetoric? Imported fear campaigns endanger rights and care. They put us all at risk.

Alberta Premier Marlaina “Danielle” Smith announced a series of proposed policy changes targeting the treatment and recognition of transgender individuals, particularly minors. How do these compare to policy in BC, and will they withstand scrutiny and the courts?

In recent years, Canada has made significant strides in recognizing and supporting the rights of transgender and gender-diverse individuals. However, there is still much work to be done before Trans people are able to live their lives free of oppression and bias's harms. To further this cause, it's essential for governmental bodies at all levels—municipal, […]

Gender identity or expression was finally added to Canada’s human rights law in 2017 after decades of legal battles and advocacy. We find ourselves once again facing a growing anti-trans campaign in Canada this week. It's time for everyone to please lend a hand…again. I am a transgender mom raising two teenagers in Vancouver while […]

There's so much hatred in the air right now. In a society that prides itself on diversity and inclusivity, the surge of hate speech and discriminatory speech, particularly anti-SOGI (Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity) rhetoric, presents a concerning paradox. The incitement to discriminate against individuals based on their sexual orientation or gender identity is not […]

Parents: "Jenn Smith has taken it upon himself…to organize public speaking events, where he goes from one community to the next, sharing his presentation to the public. The content of his presentation is misinformation, debunked pseudo-science, conspiracy theories, and a few of his own personal life experiences. Those of us who have LGBTQ2+ children and families consider his presentation dangerous because it incites hate, targeted at our kids and our families."

BC Liberals are discovering a problem with building their political movement's coalition around the demands of deeply social-conservative groups is that they can be intransigent and unrepresentative of the values the party really stands for. Count on them to make more messes.

We should accept everyone's declared sex and gender for two reasons. The ideal idea that anyone's biology is defined at conception is deeply flawed and in Canada's legal system the recognition of the sex or gender of others as different than at conception causes no negative consequence on anyone.

Even if Transgender themselves, a person who oppresses Trans people should not in my eyes be called a trans activist but a TERF or anti-trans activist.
