Regardless, shes a badass, she’s covering my team’s big week of action and I couldn’t be more hyped about it!

Have you witnessed the attacks on 2SLGBTQIA+ folks in Canada — in policies, media and political rhetoric — and felt powerless?
Well, @FaeJohnstone and @queermomentum have given Canadians the chance to be part of something HUGE.
Here’s what’s going on — and how to get involved:
I will always fight for progressing human rights where they are needed. As a trans woman, I advocate for equitable access to gender affirming healthcare. I’m proud to pledge to defend #RainbowEquality We need to become allies for one another to make Canada free and equal for all

Had a lovely chat with @MaritStiles tonight about equality and freedom for trans people.
I am grateful for elected officials speaking up for 2SLGBTQIA+ rights in an era of resurgent hate.

A key vote to advance Ontario’s Bill 42, the Gender Affirming Health Care Act, takes place tomorrow. The Ford govt's support remains uncertain, making every voice crucial. Tell them to #PassBill42. Call (416)-325-7635 or email [email protected]. #onpoli #GenderAffirmingCare
Thank you, ONDP MPP Kristyn Wong-Tam, and your wonderful staff for organizing this incredible turnout of Bill 42 supporters It warms my heart and fills it with hope that we will eventually get the gender affirming healthcare we dearly need in Ontario. Thank you!🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈 – at Toronto, Ontario
