Adoringly Shire is a queer+allies youth centre that provides free lunches, affirming chats with trans and enby kids, and an after school safe space. In the evenings it's a "restaurant" where folks of any age bring their own food/drinks. Also free. Donations encouraged. 10 Germain

Happy Mother's Day to *all* the moms out there. Those who struggle, shine, stumble and endure. Those with children close, far, or now beyond our earthly reach.
Let's see, celebrate and hold them all today.
Adoringly Shire is found at 10 Germain Street.
McKim says they'll be serving free lunches to local LGBTQ+ students weekdays from 12-1:15 p.m., offer peer support from 1:30 - 3 p.m., an after-school space from 3-5 & then shift towards welcoming the city's broader queer community.
"The Shire" is open. Local LGBTQ+ activist Alice McKim's new venture, Adoringly Shire, is part community hub, part student resource centre.
She and partner Marike Hachemer say they hope to see those who use the space make it their own.

💯 this. There is nothing wrong with a trans child. It's immoral to suggest otherwise. The damage done by a world that suggests otherwise is damage later used to justify "just protecting them from a difficult life". It has to stop.
Honestly trans kids are so far from being protected, even those advocating for a trans-inclusive conversion therapy ban do so whilst legitimising pathlogising & harmful practices targeting trans kids. 1/3
@Ranting_Trans Neural remapping via psychedelics. Bio docs to cement knowledge re: blended body womb origins. Excercise to light up cannabinoid system. Also cannabis. Meditative body/vulva mapping self pleasure time. Oh, and crashing out of a profession that left me mentally exposed to TERFs.
@krystalwolfy My children gave me three names and I picked one. Unbeknownst to them, the love of my life was reading to me from across an ocean. Alice in Wonderland. ❤️🐇
