My oldest shared their take on the #AB anti-trans legislation and their experience with gender affirming care in this video. Please watch and share. This is relevant to the discussion in the US as well.

I'm so sad to hear of the death of John Horgan. Here's a profile I wrote about him in 2014, when he became leader of the BC NDP. #bcpoli www.biv.com/news/john-ho...

A savvy coach's advice many years ago on a Victoria basketball court was the start of a journey that led to John Horgan's new job as BC NDP leader

Trump says he’ll sign an executive order instructing all Federal agencies to cease all programs that promote gender transition AT ANY AGE.
Trump will also call on Congress to prohibit tax payer funding for sex affirming procedures.

It is important to remember that much like caffeine, nicotine, alcohol, Tylenol - xylazine can also be used deliberately for its effects.
People need to know what is in the drugs they are using.
That will only come through regulating the illicit supply.

I’m a little disappointed in the online harm reduction community. From my West Coast perch, I read tales of xylazine as if it were an invading scourge.
PEOPLE LOVE IT. It gets you high.
Y’all kinda left that part out. The most fundamental aspect of the drug user experience.

If the parents who have lost loved ones to the #ToxicDrigCrisis are advocating against involuntary care …
Shouldn’t the politicians listen ?
I know … it is a CRAZY idea to give the family and loved ones an authentic seat at the policy and program tables.

If trauma is a leading cause of addiction, why are we using more trauma as a treatment method? Punitive measures only deepen challenges.
Non judgmental support and treatment based in empathy and evidence based care, can more effectively address addiction, promote recovery, and prevent relapse. Yes?

Across Canada, there’s a growing number of political leaders proposing to force people into treatment for drug addiction, despite inconclusive evidence about its effectiveness.
