After more than a decade of trying to love myself- last week I finally got top surgery. Pictured here is a very sore & groggy me.. and yet, more me than I’ve ever been.
Once you finally realize that you deserve to be happy. Nothing else matters.

The level of misinformation in all directions at this moment is incredibly high, especially on this platform.
If you see a claim, photo, or video that triggers a strong emotional reaction, take a moment to pause and check for veracity/confirmation from multiple sources.

The results are in! We are so proud to share that millions of children worldwide awarded Cindy Blackstock the 2023 World Children's Prize, also known as "The Children's Nobel Prize" for her role in the collective efforts to end discrimination against First Nations children! 🧡

An investigation asked 102 NHS trusts how many complaints there had been about trans women on women's wards.
There were none.
Zilch.
Nada.
Zero.

These are the tools you need to understand where the ultra-polarized "parental rights" movement comes from, what its goals are, and what you can do to challenge it.

Politics has been pretty dismal lately.
The election of @GregFergus as speaker and @WabKinew as premier in Manitoba is a good reminder that the haters and the cynics don't always win.
In fact, in the end, they lose.
This is a great day for Canada and democracy.

The black sheep is labeled the most difficult person in the family.
They usually the most sensitive, honest, and aware.

On September 20th, anti-2SLGBTQIA+ activists plan to rally on Parliament Hill for a so-called “Million Person March.”
We’ve beaten the far right before and we can do so again - join us, @CommunitySolid2 and many others to stand up to anti-trans hate this Wednesday!

1/ On Wednesday there will be anti-2SLGBTQ+ held rallies across Canada. Many of you have committed to countering and supporting 2SLGBTQ+ youth.
We've developed a flyer for folks to print and hand out, explaining why you're there (next tweet).

Remember: when Poilievre was in government with Harper they cut taxes for the super rich BUT NOT you #WhatTheyDoNotWhatTheySay

If Premier @fordnation actually cared about housing and rental affordability as he has claimed on repeat like a broken record today, he would immediately reverse his callous decision to end rent control in Ontario.
Actions speak louder than words. #onpoli

We’re still recovering from 2020, emotionally.
Fear, isolation, financial loss, and overall confusion took a toll on us as a collective.
People are hurting, and it shows.
The remedy: be compassionate, build community, be around who inspire.

The Auditor-General found that in the case of the single biggest selected site – located in the Duffins Rouge Agricultural Preserve and accounting for 58% of the acreage liberated from the Greenbelt – it could take up to *25* years to complete the needed infrastructure upgrades, at a cost of up to $2-billion.
25 years!
This isn’t about housing.
This is a get rich quick scheme for political donors.

I have continually tracked anti-trans laws, helping people understand the landscape.
The old map focused on youth, and unfortunately, many laws passed. Now, trans adults are increasingly targeted. As such, I have issued my first adult risk map.

Harsh truth: the complacent version of you made people the most comfortable.
Evolve anyway.

A federal judge has just blocked Texas’ anti-drag law in a huge win for lgbtq+ people in the state.
Drag laws are falling left and right.
