So, last week was #TransAwarenessWeek , #TransDayOfRemembrance & a horrific shooting. As the parent of a trans child, I had to step away from the media. There is so much hate. It breaks my heart that there are people here that hate my kid just because of who he is.
I support my child in accessing affirming care & I am beyond grateful to live in a place that allows it. And for a medical team that is gracious. I have witnessed, and felt the difference this makes to him. He is lighter. Happier. And he's finally so proud of who he is.
But to think that I could be arrested in other parts of the world. And he could be taken away from me and stripped of his rights to live as himself. And that even in my own community, things are precarious for his future. I take each election as if his life depends on it.

I’m going to try to organise it in a sensible way, but forgive me if it’s a bit chaotic!
Let’s start with schools…
-Ontario Trans Awareness Week (TAW) lessons include teaching that “some girls have penises”

-Pictures from a “family friendly” ‘LGBTQ+’ event in Florida emerged, and what says more “family friendly” than…a dildo ring toss?

🧵 A recent study estimated 1.64 million ppl in the US identify as trans
A known 32 trans (& GNC) ppl have been murdered there this year.Even if all victims were trans,that’s 0.002% of their population
Meanwhile almost 3 women are killed a day,there,by an intimate partner alone

Women in Milwaukee (for example) make up around 0.08% of the US pop. There are 5 times more trans ppl in the US than women in Milwaukee
Yet,43 women were murdered there this year
The murder rate for them was 0.014%
The idea trans ppl are uniquely vulnerable is untrue

The best maths I could do on trans vs non trans murders,using general pop. & murder data from 2021,shows that around 0.007% of non trans people in the US were murdered
When you look at numbers trans people consistently prove less liable to be murdered than those who aren’t trans

I've just realised that I will be in Melbourne for the #TransDayOfRemembrance vigil next Sunday - so I'm registered to go! I'll be solo, so I hope to see folks there to attend vigil with. I've missed vigil the last few years, so it'll be good to be there to bear witness.
*Never been to one in Naarm

This is #TransDayOfRemembrance, the culmination of #TransAwarenessWeek
So, what are Trans Rights? Trans identified ppl across Europe have every human & civil right. They can't be fired or refused housing. On average there is just one murder a year in the UK & across Europe.1/

Conflating their lives & mortality rates with those of prostituted people is dishonest. Unsurprisingly, trans identified males who work as prostitutes servicing men in North, Central & South America, lead short, dangerous lives. But that has nothing to do with 'Trans Rights'. 3/
Today is #TransDayofRemembrance. We mourn the loss of transgender individuals who have been victims of bigotry and violence. In 2019, we have lost at least 22 members of the trans community to transphobia and bigotry, and the rates of violence and hate crimes are not going down.
Trans women of color, in particular, experience violent crime at a truly epidemic rate in this country. The data is clear: swift and sweeping action must be taken if we are going to stop the rampant brutality targeted at trans women of color.
No American should live in such horrendous fear for their very life. When in Congress, I will advocate for comprehensive reforms to discriminatory healthcare, employment, and housing policies, and I will work to change the institutional bias against the transgender community.
Please take today, #TransDayOfRemembrance, to think of the 22 transgender people killed in the United States this year and keep their loved ones in your thoughts. The following images are courtesy of @TheAdvocateMag: advocate.com/transgender/20… (thread)
For #TransDayofRemembrance I want to tell you a story.
Last Nov/Dec, I was homeless. @realDonaldTrump had just been elected. I was living in my car. I was cold. I was hungry. The pain from my chronic lower back issues was horribly bad, every moment of every day (1/x)
Last Nov/Dec, I was homeless. @realDonaldTrump had just been elected. I was living in my car. I was cold. I was hungry. The pain from my chronic lower back issues was horribly bad, every moment of every day (1/x)
Sleeping in my car was making it worse. I could barely stand, let alone go grocery shopping or walk longer than about 10 min, w/o being totally wiped out for the next day or 2. I was receiving no medical treatment for being #trans, for my #AtrialFibrillation or my back pain (2/x)
I was unemployed, had no degree, didn't pass, and I was severely depressed.
Only a few ppl know this, but I think it's time to talk about it. I almost died last December. I didn't have much $, but I was doing research on the best methods to kill myself that'd be effective (3/x)
