Hey trans folks and allies!

So the Canadian senate is trying to pass Bill C-16, a bill that aims to protect trans people such as myself from discrimination and hate crimes. This is a bill that, if passed, will SAVE LIVES.
But a couple conservatives sticks-in-the-mud are currently doing everything in their power. And the longer it’s held up, the more trans people will suffer violence and discrimination.
SO. What you can do, whether you’re a Canadian citizen or otherwise, is help us make it clear to the senators of Canada just how much this bill means to us. Some senators to contact include:
@SenMacDonald @SenLWSmith @SenCormier @SenDayNB @SenatorEnverga @SenatorVictorOh @SenatorLang @SenatorNgo @BettyUngerAB @LarryWSmith36 @SenSincmurr @SenatorCordy @SenLibbeHubley @SenTMM @CPetitclerc @denisebatters @SenWillyMoore @SenatorHousakos @SenatDagenais @Senatrice_SFD @SenJaffer @SenatorNickS @GeorgeFureyNL @SenAndreychuk @PercyDowne @dennis_dawson
as well as the twitter for the Canadian senate itself, @SenateCA.
one of the foremost OPPONENTS of this bill is bigoted religious zealot @DonPlett. Feel free to put him on blast.
There’s also currently a petition on change.org in support of the bill, so give that a sign.
I know people in the US especially are dealing with their own political woes right now, but for the sake of me and every other trans person living in Canada, it’s of VITAL IMPORTANCE that we do everything in our power to get this bill passed. SIGNAL BOOST.
