In the mid to late 1990s, I was (unhealthily?) obsessed with East Coast Canadian indie rock. Being close to Vancouver provided me a pipeline to these bands that I couldn't find in the states. I followed all the offshoots into the 00s as that scene shifted a bit.

A Brief History of Atlantic Canada’s Guitar Pop Explosions
Canada’s four Atlantic provinces punch above their weight when it comes to producing guitar pop.
![A screenshot of a Reddit post from the r/LegalAdviceUK subreddit by user Dijstraanon, titled "FtM transgender facing two different issues at work? England."
The post text reads:
"Brother in law is trans FtM and presents fully as a man. He's now facing an impossible situation at work with his employer telling him that due to recent legislation he must use the toilet of his birth gender. BUT several female colleagues have raised a grievance about him using their gendered toilet.
His employer has told him that he cannot use the toilet while he is at work until they sort it out and cannot give him a timeframe to do so. They do [cut off] have disabled separate toilets.
In the mean time one of his female colleagues has accused him of sexual harassment because he was used their gendered toilet. His menstrual cycle meant he needed to use the toilet.
He's been with the employer for just over 5 years but only in this location for 18 months. The location is mainly male with just a handful of females, and his workshop only has male toilets.
I do not know how to support him and as he's not in a union there is no one to turn too right now."
