City of Vancouver grants 2019 funding to Vancouver Rape Relief as termination funding. VRR is no longer eligible for funding until it makes changes to become aligned with the grant criteria.

#Transgender #LGBTQ2+
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.
The audio from the speakers that convinced the city to act...

So, an amazing exchange happened yesterday between @FionneOrlander and Morgane Oger (it ends with talk of 'mythical' creatures, so maybe let's call this story 'The Oger and the Elf')

It's worth bookmarking for next time someone claims the trans rights movement isn't ideological.
It starts with Oger crowing, horrifyingly, about the defunding of Vancouver Rape Relief for refusing to comply with the ideology of the trans rights movement, that is, for restricting services to female people.
Fionne challenges Oger, and expresses her solidarity with the needs of female people.

Let's remember, other shelters in Vancouver are inclusive of trans women. This is not about there being no service provision, it is about refusing female people ANY sex-based spaces at all.

Solidarity with Vancouver Rape Relief @VanRapeRelief. Women victims of men's violence should be able to access support from women only services in women-only spaces #VancouverRapeRelief Disgusting that commissioners believe they know better. thestar.com/vancouver/2019…
There is nothing preventing the City of Vancouver from commissioning services for males including those who identify as transgender from another organisation, indeed this may be the model that would best meet the most victim-survivors' needs.
It is an act of control and enforcing women's subordination to attempt to force a service supporting women victims of men's violence to support those who are not female.

here's a thread about how crazy things are on Twitter
that's an old story, by now, of course... something i ramble about a lot
but this is also about how unsettlingly politicized Twitter's own policies have become when it comes to censuring users who comment on certain issues....
unlike trolls who’ve come after me, I’ve never been suspended or censured by Twitter. But I feel like it’s only a matter of time before that happens. In recent months, several mainstream commentators whom I respect have been slapped down by Twitter for saying reasonable things…
... this week’s example is @MeghanEMurphy, a well-known Vancouver-based feminist who’s written for @rabbleca, @QuilletteM & @walrusmagazine. This week, she was on @CBC Radio. she’s well-known for her work with Vancouver’s rape-crisis centre …not exactly an alt-right loon, rite?

"Based on the agenda of the City of Vancouver’s Urban Design Panel on Wednesday (June 27), the development will have 38 housing units as well as 12 micro dwelling units above commercial spaces on ground level." Those are the only details about the 'development'. #dtes #vanpoli
cw: the thread that will undoubtedly ensue may contain various not-exactly-on-topic freak-outs, references to harsh things, bitter yet nuanced literary allusions, & images i spend too much time making (gifs gifs gifs). Because this is worth it. #ThisIsWhy
This 'development', the article does not note, is beside this capital-generating structure, and an important public space. Good thing I checked, because if you read @tlupick's article, I am already pissed off about this! straight.com/news/1015846/r…

1/ Quick thoughts on City's Housing Strategy, presented at Council this morning. (Only had 4 days to read report & 5 min to speak so could only cover the basics.) #vanpoli
2/ Delighted City picked up on our idea of a #MansionTax which you call “applying differential property tax rates on residential properties." This is a fabulous way to get money for housing! #vanpoli
3/ City report says to strengthen rent control by tying rent increases in SROs to the room, not the tenant. Why o why not call for that same protection for tenants in the West End, Grandview, Mt. Pleasant, Fairview, Hastings Sunrise, Marpole..the whole city?? #vanpoli
