In the end, after she stared at me like this was some basic political disagreement and not a policy that evidence shows will kill kids, I had enough.
I told her she has blood on her hands and walked off.

This week, I withdrew from a speaking engagement at a public university because they sent me a list of prohibited “words & concepts.” I will not humor this censorship. It does a disservice to the stories I’m discussing & the audience, who deserve unfettered access to information & conversation.

Alberta, in another release, confirms that sport orgs wanting provincial funding must adhere to disallowing transgender athletes from competing under the Fairness in Sport Act.
This would also include major international competitions that would receive GOA funding to be held in Alberta.
