Dear TME trans people:
If you're more concerned about the language trans women and other TMA people use to critique your transmisogynistic behavior than you are the behavior itself, you may just be a transmisogynist.
@6o4lina@forivall also, the thing about needing to go to victoria is not true and whoever told you that was lying. the waiting list is long but there are TransCare providers who do assessments for minors in most cities.
@6o4lina@forivall surrey since 2018.
in general following the standard TransCare path sucks regardless of where you do it in BC, but informed consent especially in the lower mainland can be very fast and easy to access.
@notafae_@chachamyeon to make it even more confusing, east vancouver and south vancouver are parts of vancouver proper, and there are two distinct political entities called north vancouver—the city and the regional district
@notafae_@chachamyeon there's the west side (the western part of vancouver), the west end (the western part of the downtown peninsula), and west vancouver (its own city to the west of north vancouver where the rich people live)
I am truly terrified of what the rising wave of fascism south of the border means for our future and that of the entire world, especially after seeing a far-right party come close to winning a majority in my province just weeks ago.
Vancouver police raided the home of Charlotte Kates, the head of Samidoun Palestinian prisoners solidarity group
Neighbours reported seeing an armoured vehicle and police forces dressed in full tactical gear, who allegedly smashed a window to gain access to the home. Samidoun was designated a terrorist organisation by the US and Canada in a joint action last month, ordered without releasing any evidence that leftist advocacy group had committed any actions amounting to terrorism.
@rejectHisDesign universal healthcare hasn't really been at risk of being taken away but under PP I'm a little scared it will at least be restricted, and I'm expecting the repeating of bill C-16 and other legal protections for minorities as well as immigration restrictions
This is a big issue.
You can't build community if you outwardly show people that you absolutely do not give a shit about their health and overall life.
If you're not willing to protect everyone around you, you're cosplaying...nothing more.
I'm seeing a lot of "we will build community" posts from people who stopped masking 1-3 years ago.
What are you going to build when you prioritize emotional comfort over protecting your own body from disease?
