@Xanadelrey2 Should’ve cast her and sent her home as soon as she walked in the door.

Posting last minute but it is still Ribbon Skirt Day. Ribbon skirts are a symbol of resilience, survival and identity.
Making this ribbon skirt was about creating a strong connection to my Metis heritage and also connecting with my feminine spirit.

Hear from experts on the issues surrounding Alberta's new anti-2SLGBTQ+ laws on education, healthcare, and sport. Misinformation is fuelling support for these laws, and this teach-in will help dispel some of it. Please share the event widely! Register https://t.co/HnrsUnDahH

@Xanadelrey2 They’ve obviously never been in a drag dressing room 🤣

I love a diva that flips and tricks but if you don’t know the words does it even matter? 👀

[Jason YYC @Jason___YYC]

So we’re banning circumcisions, braces, maxillofacial procedures, removing unwanted birth marks, nose jobs, and many other “physical changes” til they are 18?

No? Just attacking trans kids where this rarely happens til 18 in consultation with a team of professionals and parents

[Simma Downe @SimmaDowne]

These aren’t just stats, this happening here in our community. We lost a trans youth just last week and she deserved so much better!

[Simma Downe @SimmaDowne]

@KarlaMarx1917 And stop giving corporate handouts to multi billion dollar companies while we’re at it.

1 am fire alarm and evacuation is homophobic AF.

@nuttyskadork Just put them on blast publicly. It’s amazing how fast they change their tune.

[Simma Downe @SimmaDowne]

@mantra_ephemera @findependencec1 @nuttyskadork I don’t wish this on anyone. But these issues will continue to occur if we continue to deny climate change and we continue to elect governments that would rather focus on divisive policies than real issues.

[Simma Downe @SimmaDowne]

@mantra_ephemera @findependencec1 @nuttyskadork More context for you. I didn’t say anyone deserves this. I’m a huge volunteer in this community and I’m Indigenous. I’ve worked both in industry and with a First Nation but our current provincial government has raged a war against green energy and are avid climate change deniers.

[Simma Downe @SimmaDowne]

UCP: there’s too much federal overreach.

UCP: creates bill to allow provincial overreach on municipalities.

[Simma Downe @SimmaDowne]

We’re not divided we’re clearly opposed!

[Simma Downe @SimmaDowne]

Talk about bias in media.
This article only refers to the first 18hrs after Smith’s announcement. It also only includes unique emails and excludes the more than double amount of letters sent in opposition as part of letter writing campaigns. Do better @edmontonjournal

[Simma Downe @SimmaDowne]

This type of catchy subheader misconstrues that there is more support than opposition to these proposed policies. Put all the numbers in even from just the 1st 18hrs and it’s only 17% in favour.
