Today, Alberta introduced Bill 9 and invoked the notwithstanding clause to shield three anti-trans laws from constitutional challenge. These laws deny gender-affirming care to youth, erase 2SLGBTQI identities from schools, and ban trans girls and women from sports.

EGALE & SKIPPING STONE WIN INJUNCTION AGAINST BILL 26.

Today (June 27, 2025) the Court of King’s Bench of Alberta has granted our injunction request to block the Government of Alberta’s denial of gender-affirming care for gender diverse young people from coming into effect. This is a historic win!

Middleton-Hope, UCP: 6,089 - 44.9%
Veverka, AP: 233 - 1.7%

Ain’t no quo like the status quo!

Put in practice, these policies isolate trans kids from peers, deny trans kids opportunities to be affirmed by their communities of trust, deny trans kids medical care recommended by the health professionals in their life ... because the government caucus thinks it knows better.

Children are not property and there is a legal concept of best interests of the child. A child’s best interests may not line up with a parent’s view on things. #humanrightsnotparentrights

As a trans person with a child, I’ve spent time in schools. I recall tiny kiddos seeing me, registering something’s different, but invariably, there’s a shrug moment, and we all move on.

This is what’s being protested today. Children finding the humanity in everyone.
