Glad to see this, it’s a step in the right direction. Addiction isn’t a lifestyle, drugs cause so much damage. Now we need tons more easily-accessible detox and recovery spaces, including services for women-only ⁦@Dave_Eby⁩ ⁦@bcndp⁩ https://t.co/kYbEGBEiYR

@rosehunterpoet Right back at you sister

Alright, I'm going to make a serious effort to get posting on here, whatever this is now. It's weird and I don't like social media, but would love to hear from #women how social media has helped you?

"I don’t think the idea of gender identity should be taught in schools…it’s a belief system…it’s basically teaching a form of religion in schools…and I think schools need to be secular" listen to more: #1MillionMarch4Kids #1MillionMarch4Hate https://t.co/NhXCoaqVk6

All the posturing today by politicians, unions, and others is ridiculous. You’re embarrassing yourselves.

[Justin Trudeau @JustinTrudeau]

Let me make one thing very clear: Transphobia, homophobia, and biphobia have no place in this country. We strongly condemn this hate and its manifestations, and we stand united in support of 2SLGBTQI+ Canadians across the country – you are valid and you are valued.

@assignedmedia if you’re proposing “reliable information”, maybe it’s better to just list links so people can make up their own minds about the information they’re reading?

[Cherry Smiley, PhD @_cherrysmiley_]

An example “The Independent Council on Women's Sports (ICONS) is an American anti-transgender
advocacy organization that opposes transgender athletes participating in women's sports”

[Assigned Media @assignedmedia]

ANNOUNCEMENT!

For months I've been working with a team of transgender writers and a trans dev, on the Trans Data Library, a repository of information on anti-trans activists, "expert" witnesses, and organizations.

Today I'm letting the world know what we're cooking.

[Cherry Smiley, PhD @_cherrysmiley_]

From a different perspective “The Independent Council on Women's Sports (ICONS) is an American women’s
advocacy organization that argues only women should compete in women’s sports”.

[Cherry Smiley, PhD @_cherrysmiley_]

@assignedmedia Big project! What is the criteria to be included? How many public statements will a person or organization have to make to be included?
