I’m commencing legal action against the VPD for my wrongful arrest on this date last year.

I had gone downtown to have conversations and there were over 1000 people at the Vancouver Art Gallery, so I was just checking things out when I was surrounded nearly immediately.

1/5

After police told me that I was instigating, it became clear they weren’t going to do anything about the actual violent people.

I walked off the sidewalk into the public square a second time and my phone was knocked out of my hand.

2/5

I then talked to police for a couple minutes, who told me again not to walk in a public space.

The arresting officer told me this was a ‘safe space.’

I do not appreciate having my Charter Rights violated.

3/5

I walked off the sidewalk a third time, and as people swarmed around me, a man named Robert Ages came and hit me in my chest.

I was instantly grabbed from behind by officers who had followed me in, arrested, taken to jail, and charged with ‘causing a disturbance.’

4/5

Upon release from jail, I was given conditions whereby I was forbidden from walking on the streets of Georgia, Howe, Smythe, and Hornby.

6 months later, Crown Counsel threw out the charge and I was free to walk in Vancouver again.

5/5

What did I do that was so heinous on that day?

I had a sign on my front that said ‘Gender Ideology Does Not Belong in Schools’ and a sign on my back which said ‘I ❤️ JK Rowling.’
