    So Canadá is going to let trans people get treatment with informed consent model, right?

    Right?

    Some of our states are really good for trans people. A map of which regions yo avoid would be far more helpful than a blanket warning.

        Yes her map is good, I just wish it didn’t show “states with a possibility in 2 years” in such a dark red color as it is misleading when compared to like… Actual bad states.

    A lot of states with those laws probably also have “Stand Your Ground” laws and loose guns regulations, so really nobody should go there.

      The actual risk of being effected is still pretty low.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Anti-LGBT protests in the US rose 30-fold last year compared with 2017, while legal moves to restrict LGBT rights are on the rise.

    The term 2SLGBTQI+ is widely used in Canada for people who consider themselves two-spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning or intersex.

    “Since the beginning of 2023, certain states in the US have passed laws banning drag shows and restricting the transgender community from access to gender-affirming care and from participation in sporting events,” they told CBC News.

    In March, Tennessee’s governor signed laws banning drag performances in front of children and restricting medical treatment for transgender youth.

    Two months later, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed bills banning children from undergoing transgender medical treatments or going to drag shows, and restricting pronoun use in classrooms.

    On Monday, a mural in Florida dedicated to Irish journalist Lyra McKee, who was shot dead in 2019, was defaced with a swastika and anti-LGBT graffiti.

      When speaking I always try and say LGBT+, the “+” being everyone else. Or just queer, which is a decent cover-all on it’s own. The ever longer acronyms get in the way of the point.

        think we need to solve this with some regex. Do they accept wild card * ?

      2SLGBTQ is a common term in the queer community where I’m from.

      Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but I think even the LGBT+ community gets annoyed with it. It’s the media that seems to want to keep adding letters to this ever-growing acronym.

      In my opinion, it just makes the whole thing seem more like a joke to the people who want to find reasons to dislike the movement.

        People who are homophobic or transphobic don’t care what terminology we use. We could literally only use the word “gay” and they would absolutely continue to hate us.

        Also, the use of progressive terminology originates within the queer community. 2SLGBTQ as an acronym began being used specifically to acknowledge two spirit people, who have faced a great amount of racism and queerphobia even from within the queer community. This term was neither invented by the media nor popularized by it.

      I wonder how many fucking numbers and letters they will keep adding over the fucking years.

      Numbers and letters over the years:

      “You shall love your neighbor as yourself”

      Galations 5:14

      “Be genial, sweet and kind towards your companions.”

      Mino-ī-Kherad, II.7

      “For my people are foolish; they know me not; they are stupid children; they have no understanding. They are ‘wise’—in doing evil! But how to do good they know not.”

      Jeremiah 4:22

    Global Affairs Canada warned

    Is this an NGO or a GO?

      GO. It’s a Federal Government department that is jointly run by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, the Minister of International Development, and the Minister of International Trade. Putting out travel advisories is part of their mandate.

      Most Canadian GO follow a [Purpose] Canada naming scheme. If you want a SIN (equivalent to an SSN) you got to Services Canada. You get your weather warnings from Enviroment Canada. Drugs are related by Health Canada. Natural Resources Canada does the obvious. Parks Canada does National Parks. Transport Canada does highways and waterways.

    Does the US need to put out a warning to disabled travelers? Go to Canada and they will tell you to kill yourself.
