The response to the #TumblerRidgeShooting from far-right media, online commentators and even an elected official in Canada is another dark example of how pervasive anti-trans misinformation has become, even in Canada. Mel Woods writes. #bcpoli #bced

No good will come from the conservative rush to weaponize the shooter’s identity in this story.

In some ways, #TumblerRidge appears almost too perfect to be true. But the heartache brought to the small northern B.C. community on Tuesday is only too real. @amandafollett.bsky.social writes.

Take action at www.stop-smith.ca

Where do we go from here?

To return rights to trans youth, we need to change hearts and minds across Alberta.

We need to help Albertans in every corner of the province understand this as what it is: as an attack on vulnerable youth and their families, and as an attack on individual rights and freedoms.

Together, we can and we will build the movement to restore the rights of trans youth in Alberta and repeal Premier Smith’s anti-trans legislation.

Take action, join the movement: Stop-Smith.ca

Anatomy is not destiny. If people could look within and undo their dangerous gender essentialist attitudes. Change! Be better! Protect human rights for all. I see you non binary people! I see you trans people. I see you fungi with your glorious 23,000 genders. Carry on. Thrive .

“There was a time when I believed that here, in my home of British Columbia, I could live my truth without fear. The past two weeks have shattered that belief. “The weight of this realization wears on me, and I pen this lament with profound sorrow.”

Como muchos otros, abandoné Twitter porque no se ajusta a mis valores. No hace falta hablar de ello, por favor. Me uní a Instagram. Tenemos que usar Instagram en nuestros móviles. Qué inaccesible es eso.

If I could make a plea for BlueSky, it’s this: Please make a point of sharing links to articles, essays and more that you LOVE, that you enjoyed, that expanded you in some way. I’m always surprised by the dominance of hate-shares, complaint shares on here. And I think it has a riptide effect.

My poem, Ribcage, was just published in issue 15 of Impossible Archetype! You can read the full issue here: impossiblearchetype.wordpress.com/15-2/

Top left title 'Impossible Archetype issue 15', centre title, 'Ribcage by Rachel Handley'.

'Ribcage

First, you feel secrets in the chest,
a kind of blood, a bright blooming,
a strange kind of thicket, ousting
the ribcage. I could let them go,
I am hungry enough. Prying
open each opening, fingers
twisting for a strange kind of switch.
I wrestle the blood out of me,
handfuls at a time and you look
at me exactly as if I
had blood on my hands, as if I
am guilty, denying myself
a woman. While I congratulate my truth:
No longer a sister. A them, they, their.
A not-usually-her and you’d
look at me bright with red and turn,
quick to not have blood touch your skin.'

In January, Premier Danielle Smith unveiled policies that affect trans kids’ medical access, athletics and ability to use their names in school. In light of misconceptions, an expert explains how professionals *actually* use gender-affirming care.
