See caption for text about trans pizza day! IT'S PIZZA TIME! ABOUT TRANS PIZZA DAY: l've been connecting trans folks with free yummy pizza every year on Trans Day of Remembrance since 2017. I started doing this after I was gifted a pizza from a stranger for TDOR during a particularly hard year in 2016. It really helped me. Over the years, YOU have helped so many others. Together, we have sent hundreds and hundreds of pizzas (thousands?) over 8 years.... pizzas that have helped so many others! Community is incredible and together we have kept us/trans folks safe(r) and fed and connected during a day that can be so isolating and hard. WE KEEP US SAFE: With Wendy, and through feedback and brilliant suggestions from many of you, we are continuing to figure out safety again this year. Due to increased threats to trans folks' safety this year, it doesn't feel safe to be gathering data on trans people using Google/Meta platforms, though I'm happy to say we've had such gentleness and kindness over the years and never had an issue. Regardless, this year we will be doing things differently to ensure that we KEEP EVERYONE SAFE!

See caption for text about trans pizza day! Here's how it will go this year: TAG/DM YOUR FAVE PIZZA PLACE NAMES*- Help us crowd source your favourite, trusted, and QT friendly pizza place and we will reach out and arrange pizza day. We will send pizza money in advance to the safe(r) pizza places we've crowd sourced who have agreed to participate. They will each have a certain number of pizzas they can give out. I WANT TO EAT PIZZA: Heres what to do GET YOUR PIZZA PASSWORD - On Trans Pizza Day on November 20, you can email us at our new Trans Pizza Day email address and get a pizza password to give to your local pizzeria to get your free pizza. Just call/order from the trust list of places and give them the pizza password. Voila! Up to $40 CAD of pizza on its way to you! Please do not share this password publicly in order to keep community safe.

See caption for text about trans pizza day! I WANT TO SEND PIZZA: Heres what to do If you are a non-trans or cis person wanting to send some pizza love: DONATE TO AND PROMOTE THE GOFUNDME - We have a gofundme and are raising $14,000 like last year, which is $40 CAD per person x 350 pizzas. DONATE: Send enough for a pizza or two, or for some dipping sauce or soda! Let's send send some Za ! Share the gofundme and help us get the word out!!! NOTE: IN CASE THE PIZZA PLACES WHERE YOU LIVE ARE NOT SAFE - If you live somewhere without a safe or trusted pizza place in your town, we've been thinking how to get you pizza too. We have 50 spaces available for people to claim pizza funds and we will send you an etransfer to get food in a safe way that you know how to in your community. We will send out pizza funds in $40 CAD per person to 50 trans folks who sign up via an anonymous email form on a secure server. This form will be posted on Thursday. THANK YOU for donating to send some pizza love, this year especially.

Yes, the loss of #measles elimination status is proof that Public Health in Canada is broken.

They had one job. They saw this coming. We saw it coming.

And they did NOTHING.

Fire them all. Require all public health & infectious disease education programs in the country revise their curriculum.

We hope to have this sorted by the end of the week to get everything moving!
Thank you for 8 years of trans pizza magic! And now this difficult day is associated with hope for me, and silliness and love and care and mutual aid towards different kinds of trans affirmed futures

Like a pay it forward approach with local pizzerias folks trust and know?
Win win, supporting local pizzerias?
3) something else we haven’t thought of? Please send me a message with your ideas and or suggestions!
We also have a question prompt in the next slide!

We keep us safe and we can do this. 1) is there a safe(r) way to go back to a crowd sourcing process that helps to build community?
2) is there a way that folks could prepay for pizzas locally and folks could see where to go to claim pizzas?

1) keep us fed 2) keep us safe 3) keep our names and info off Meta (ie no google form this year!) 4) how to streamline the fund distribution/pizza distribution to make that process quicker and less onerous! Have a few ideas but would love to crowd source a way forward this year!

It is like almost 400 folks so lots of work to send out as individual transactions and Trans Pizza Day is just a small team of a couple trusted folks to keep everyone’s emails safe. We do not want a list of trans people floating around in these times. So thinking how to

Last year we did a gofundme to raise funds to feed several hundred trans folks. We raised over $14k thanks to all of you and sent it all back out in $40 increments for some ‘za and care!

Slides read: TRANS PIZZA DAY! @twin_muses and I have been thinking though safety again this year and how to make this work smoothly and safely this year! The original method-folks offering and accepting pizzas in the comments on tdor became less and less safe with rising hate

Happy 8 years of trans pizza day……I wish we ddn’t need another year I wish we were safe cared for and that every trans person had all that we needed to thrive & live our fullest lives. Still, we gather 4 another year. Slide deck features images of delicious pepperoni pizza with text over each slide-

As Some Dems Run From Trans People, Zohran Mamdani's Latest Ad Shows Real Support The 2 minute ad features Sylvia Rivera's story, Mamdani's commitment to transgender people, and even music from the legendary late trans artist SOPHIE.

I will always remember this Mamdani ad.

New Poll: Voters Prefer Democratic Candidates Approach To Trans Rights Over Republicans A new poll, which surveys voters who will partake in the New Jersey and Virginia governor races, found that voters were not impressed with Republican anti-trans positions.

wait, are you telling me that all the centrist pundits who insisted that Dems wouldn't win any future elections unless/until they threw trans people under the bus turned out to be wrong? how could this be?!? 😱

Canadian researchers should be aware the there is a motion before the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Science and Research to force Tricouncils to hand over disaggregated peer review data on all applications:
Applicant names, profiles, demographics
Reviewers names, profiles, comments, and scores

🚨Critical BREACH OF PRIVACY🚨 and trust for any 🇨🇦 researcher (trainees to PIs) who have been involved with ANY grant or scholarship submission (or their review!!!) to ANY of the TriCouncils (CIHR NSERC SSHRC) in the last 20 years!
