Senator Paula Simons stands in the Chamber alongside colleagues to reaffirm the rights of 2SLGBTQIA+ Canadians, call out partisan scapegoating of trans Canadian, and dispel myths about the danger to children. She joins the Honourable Senator René Cormier and others in the Red Chamber urging the government to convene its national anti-hate action plan as promised in Budget 2023 - and draws disturbing parallels between transphobia and antisemitism.

Excellent speech by Canada’s most excellent Senator https://mstdn.ca/@Paulatics

Hello, Tumblr. By the time “we are all here”, the acronym will include the alphabet, numerals, and quite possibly other glyphs (if someone throws an emoji on there so help me god). Human sexuality is varied and diverse if you haven’t noticed. I am not learning an acronym long enough to singlehandedly win a game of Scrabble just so everyone can feel special. Not happening, sport, and most people would agree – which is why this will never catch on and Tumblrinas need to stop trying to force it to.

Hello, fellow human.

Nobody is forcing you to use any term you don’t like. You can use whatever term you want and other people can also choose whatever they prefer. If you find people choosing their own labels troublesome, imagine how you would feel if people started forcing you to call yourself something different.

Also, being friendly on the internet costs nothing. Yes, even to people with other viewpoints.
