Appalled to see #CBC broadcast transphobia by allowing anyone to pathologize Trans people like this. Explicit protection of gender identity or expression was added to Canadian human rights law because of people like @BarbaraRKay. Do better, @CBC. @CRTCeng. #canpoli

Stealing somebody's dignity because she belongs to a community you revile is not the result of an independent mind but a time-tested act of hate propaganda. Your blind spots may stop you from seeing it, Barbara, but your "sad affliction" is, it seems, transphobia.
@LearyMs @MorganeOgerBC I have an independent mind and can't seem to ignore either reality or a pernicious ideology when I see one. I know, sad affliction.

I'm surprised Meghan Murphy, who says trans women are men and encourages #TERF supremacy, is booked to speak about #transgender women at @VPL main branch on Jan 10. How will parents explain to our kids why this is happening at their public library, @CityofVancouver?. @VPD2Fox15.
@mcleaver @halman2112 @WordPress Vancouver resident Meghan Murphy patholgizes and demonizes women who are transgender despite knowing it is a violation of Canadian law to do so. Her discredited essentialist feminism is the new phrenology, 30 years out of date.

The #UK is plagued by #TERF ideology anchored in a false narrative that #transgender women are not considered female in civil law. The ECHR judged Trans persons are protected from discrimination on the basis of sex corresponding to their gender identity.

@LisaOnTheCoast @BarbaraRKay @bcedplan Actually it's she. I'm regularly invited to BC schools to help them understand discrimination and their rights related to miscreants.

Those among us who are not transgender may not understand the enormous symbolic value of this decision. VRR's ongoing and very public refusal to treat transgender women equally has finally been refuted by a public agency as unacceptable.

I am so grateful to lawmakers and our legal system. Publishing material likely to incite hate or expose persons to discrimination on the basis of gender identity or expression is confirmed as prohibited discrimination by BC Tribunal. #bcpoli #cdnpoli #transgender #HumanRights.

My first try to come out as Transgender was in the mid-90s. it went exceedingly poorly. I backed down and kept it to myself. I navigated my identity alone for decades until I found strength to be authentic to my kids and myself. I came out in 2013. #InternationalComingOutDay.

Vancouver Rape Relief had a year to clean up their act and update their policies so they would meet Vancouver's elegibility criteria for 2020 funding. Their choice not to do the work is as deplorable as the consequences were foreseeable because #TransWomenAreWomen. #vanpoli.
We are extremely disappointed by the City of Vancouver’s intent not to fund our public education work and the message it sends to the women who seek out a women-only group as part of their resistance to male violence. #VanCityCouncil #fail #women #womenresistance #womenonly

Good. Police facing criminal charges for criminal misconduct helps show us all they are our protectors and not our oppressors. Because trust is desperately lacking.

Cis and Trans people alike, like European and Asian and African people, and like Jewish and non-Jewish people, all know that a discriminatory policy put forward by Elon Musk to isolate one adjective "cisgender" or "cis" as slur or hate speech would be a despicable attack on one.
@JamesEsses Repeated, targeted harassment against any account will cause the harassing accounts to receive, at minimum, temporary suspensions. The words “cis” or “cisgender” are considered slurs on this platform.
