I honestly don't see much of a downside here.i mean it sucks for the organizers who handle the event but that's about it. It's a good thing the corpos are gone and have stopped pretending to care. Even if they can't find funding worst case scenario is queer people show up anyways.

The war on drugs is back lead by a more racist person then the original war on drugs president.

He might of shifted the focus, idk. I mean it makes sense tbh the transphobes current day are different then the transphobes when he made the og video. A lot of them are more defensive and not willing to listen no matter what someone online says.

If I where him I would of changed the target the audience from transphobes to be trans allies and people who don't know much about trans people(but aren't transphobic). Cus those folks might be encouraged by this video into trying to deradicalize transphobes they know irl cus and the more accurate scientific information you know the better you can argue against bs. So it's less of a casual debunk video and more of a study guide people might want to re review multiple times till it fully sticks.

Also imo the only chance modern transphobes might change is if someone they personally know well and respect tells them they are harmful.

The video by Forrest valaki discusses a large series of scientific concepts around gender, sexuality and sex. It has an entire scientific research team credited in the description and 377 references but of course transphobes don't care and would rather look like a fool throwing play ground insults around. This whole video and interaction made my day. Transphobes can be a very funny bunch.

Especially considering the government will probably just cut funding anyways. So at least fight until something actually legally binding is given to you. All they are doing here is temporarily extending the money they get from gov while kinda pissing off people who would of donated to them regardless of gov nonsense.

At least they are allowed a ThinkPad.

This is also true for federal, Liberals really need to figure out their new prime minister selection and fast. Like let's face it they are the only party rn that has a chance in beating the conservatives. The longer they spend without a public face advocating for a change the less voter turnout there will be. As for Ontario Bonnie Crombie or Marit Stiles needs to do like a press junket or something that way people that are not that tuned in to the election cycle will actually remember they have another option other then Ford.

I think it might be a photoshop job(possibly AI generated) thing rather then coming from some particular movie/tv show.

Tbh I gotta respect this, I fully get it some folks just don't vibe with certain performances by actors or certain actors in general even if that actor didn't do anything wrong or did multiple earth shatteringly good performances.

You would still have to go through the same long and hard process as any other asylum seeker. Idk where you get the idea that trans people would be prioritized all this petition is about is legally qualifying trans people as apart of the class of people that can seek asylum in Canada.

If you want an actual discussion is a statement like, "we shouldn't help asylum seekers because what's stopping an immigrant from exaggerating the conflict they face in their original homeland to try and seek asylum?" In good faith?

The organization seems fairly reputable but I can't 100% confirm anything. But I don't think petitions have to go through Canadian government website for it to be successful Its just the a more typical approach.

Saw this on bluesky and thought I'd share here since I think there's a lot of trans folks trying to find ways out of the US and this could potentially help in the future.
