It's Trans Remembrance Day today. It's a day to memorialize those we've lost and to remember the living trans people that are still here to fight for.

@melwoods.me: We must not overcomplicate what’s going on here.
This is the Alberta government saying the rights of trans kids to receive life-saving health care, go by their own pronouns at school or play on sport teams don’t matter as much as the Smith government’s right to dictate their lives.

What else do you call it when a government so set on pushing ahead with policies that WILL cause more trans youth to try to leave us?
When they'll trample on the charter to hurt these kids?
It's disturbing:
