Lawyers against Transphobia felt less like a lawyers conference and more a liberatory justice conference. It was about community coming together and building connections, resilience, and commitment to the fights ongoing and still to come.

Big love to the LaT team!

I'm off to Vancouver for the Lawyers against Transphobia conference. In this time of rising hate we must come together to build relationships and work in solidarity in legal and political fights for our human rights.

Last week with @momentumcanada.net, Dignity Network, Fierte Canada Pride, the Canadian Pride Caucus and other #2SLGBTQIA orgs had a queer back to parliament reception.

They know the laws violate the constitution which is why they are going this route. It is simply hateful nonsense to rile their base.

Over the last week Pride at Work Canada and the Enchenté Network brought a delegation to Ottawa to support the modernization of the Employment Equity Act which would include adding #2SLGBTQIA+ and Black communities as designated groups. We met with politicians across all political parties.

The gender affirming experience of when a dog you don't know barks at men but then cuddles up next to you for safety.

I closed the Toronto Stock Exchanged with my amazing team and supporters on Wednesday for Pride. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Although some companies are abandoning 2SLGBTQIA+ communities, but others are still doing the work. Companies aren't our saviors, but they are made of people. It is people who make a difference.

SPARK was an incredible experience we brought international advocates from Workplace Pride, Human Rights Campaign, and ADIL Mexico.

Companies must stand up for queer and trans human rights internationally.

Now it is up to progressives to hold @mark-carney.bsky.social's feet to the fire. We may have voted but that isn't enough to keep politicians accountable.

Canada is a silly place as is my metamour.

I’m so gay that when I quickly looked over at election coverage playing on the TV, I momentarily forgot BQ stands for ‘Bloc Quebecois’ & not ‘Butch Queen’ 🤸‍♂️🤣🇨🇦🏳️‍🌈
