I mean, good call, Canada.

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.

Erin Reed maintains a pretty good one:

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.
- ryper ( @ryper@lemmy.ca ) English30•10 months ago
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.

Canada should issue an advisory for people travelling to Alberta

Yeah I don’t believe that lol, tf is that nonsense if a term
- CanadaPlus ( @CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org ) 8•10 months ago
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.
- regalia ( @regalia@literature.cafe ) 5•10 months ago
think we need to solve this with some regex. Do they accept wild card * ?
- BaconIsAVeg ( @BaconIsAVeg@lemmy.ml ) English6•10 months ago
For early adopters, the term “Two Spirit” was a deliberate act to differentiate and distance themselves from non-Native gays and lesbians
Differentiating yourselves from an already marginalized group? That’s a bold move Cotton…
- regalia ( @regalia@literature.cafe ) 3•10 months ago
Just physically say 2SLGBTQI+ out loud and hear how ridiculous that sounds.
- Echo71Niner ( @Echo71Niner@lemm.ee ) 3•10 months ago
It sounds fucking dumb.
- LadyAutumn ( @LadyAutumn@lemmy.blahaj.zone ) English4•10 months ago
2SLGBTQ is a common term in the queer community where I’m from.

Global Affairs Canada warned
Is this an NGO or a GO?
- outbound ( @outbound@lemmy.ca ) 8•10 months ago
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.
- laylawashere44 ( @laylawashere44@lemmy.blahaj.zone ) English4•10 months ago
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.

I have learned from this thread that ALL TRANS PEOPLE ARE HATEFUL PEOPLE.
