My opinion piece with Robert Leckey (@DeanLeckey) + Florence Ashley (@ButNotTheCity) on how pronoun policies and the focus on parental rights ignore settled family law and child protection law.

[The Globe and Mail @globeandmail]

Hastily drafted pronoun policies ignore the nuances of family and child protection laws https://t.co/g9HpXjjv82

Appreciate this leadership from the Court of Appeal: "counsel and self-represented parties will be invited to provide information such as their preferred names, titles (e.g., Ms, Mrs, Mr, Mx, Counsel, Dr) and name pronunciation if they want to do so..."

The growth of cybersecurity incidents, the lack of people and the level of expertise required make digital forensics and incident response (DFIR) retainer services a key element for resilience and cyber readiness.

Hey #cdnpoli #cdnmedia, i would encourage yall to read and cover the statement below. Feminist organizations reject Poilievre’s divisive comments about trans people.

Trans advocates and feminists stand united against hate and division.

Anti-trans = anti-women.

Thirty-six of us at the University of Alberta and University of Calgary Faculties of Law are calling on the Alberta Government to reconsider its proposed restrictions on education, healthcare and sports for transgender youth.

This one is a must-read: what are the federalism implications of the recent surge in uses of s 33?

[Fae Johnstone 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 @FaeJohnstone]

We are being outgunned. We are losing these battles. With kids lives at stake. Trans folks can’t win these battles alone.

I need folks to finally wake up to what’s going on: a full-on assault on the rights and freedoms of vulnerable young people.

Tap in. We need you now.

The National Association of Women and the Law @NAWL_ANFD has launched a student essay competition to mark its 50th anniversary. Participants will be invited to a conference on feminist law reform in late February/early March in Ottawa. Details here: https://t.co/CJSRaqSHWi

We have already changed the world for queer and trans people.

They’re coming for us now because we’ve won, again and again, and they are scared.

We are facing backlash like we haven’t seen in a long time. But it’s called backlash for a reason.

We’ve won before. We will again.

[Samuel Singer @samuelsingerlaw]

Trans kids are people, not property: Conservative politicians across Canada have signalled their support for so-called “parental rights.” But children and youth have rights of their own
