@marnipanas.bsky.social posted this on
Instagram and it’s perfect.

“Human rights are not up for discussion. Not up for debate. If you stay neutral, you side with oppression. If you stay silent, you enable harm.”

Speak up! Call your MLA and tell them you stand with trans Albertans. #abpoli

Today, the Government of Alberta has introduced Bill 9 which uses the notwithstanding clause to restrict the rights of Two-Spirit, trans & gender diverse people. This legislation is brought days ahead of Trans Day of Remembrance - a day meant to honour the lives lost to anti-trans violence.

With its hateful rhetoric, the right seeks to cast gender identity not as something you are, but as something dangerous that you believe. We aren’t against trans people, just their ideology.

Yet the end goal is the same: to wipe out transness itself.
How the right uses "gender ideology" to blame trans people for everything
MAGA learned from global autocrats the language needed to push fear.

The Alberta government says it will pay for 3,000 more teachers over three years to ease a classroom crunch.

But the money didn't come as a result of the strike. It was already in last spring's budget before the Alberta teachers' walked off the job. #AbLeg #AbEd

We must pivot from the MLA's unprofessional language to the government's initial action. The use of the notwithstanding clause is what created this level of outrage in the first place, and that abuse of power is the part we need to discuss. #AbLeg #ABpoli
1️⃣ Politicians, especially women & people of colour, face a lot of undue vitriol from constituents.

2️⃣ Most people in public-facing roles have called clients bad names.

3️⃣ Tone-policing people whose fundamental rights you've stripped away is one way to go.
