Yesterday I joined friends and colleagues at confederation park for the trans day of visibility. We must fight to ensure that trans people have access to all of the essential healthcare they need and stand up for our neighbours facing discrimination.

Trans rights are human rights.

The next steps — when we end all forms of genocidal violence — will happen for the same reason. #cdnpoli
