Québec n’utilisera plus de néologismes comme « iel » Un décret visant à baliser l'écriture inclusive a été adopté sous la recommandation du ministre de la Langue française du Québec, Jean-François Roberge.

Qui est le gouvernement pour dicter ce qui est acceptable ou inacceptable ? IEL est là pour rester ! Les termes binaires ne suffisent pas et ne couvrent pas toustes les citoyen·nes. Le Québec risque de devenir un État trumpien. Ceci est un avertissement.

@iciradiocanada.bsky.social c'est honteux que CBC puisse reporter cette nouvelle alors qu'il n'y en a aucune trace sur le site web de la Radio-Canada. Et, franchement, c'est aussi honteux que les membres de ce comité ne soient pas issu·e·s de la communauté 2SLGBTQIA+. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Feather Talia speaks at a the podium in the legislature. A trans pride flag covers the left side of the image and over it the text reads "If you see us today, then fight for us tomorrow. -- Feather Talia"

A photo on the left of the screen features Leah in a jacket in an autumn setting. The text to the left reads "I honour and thank all Two-Spirit, Trans, and gender-diverse people. We deserve a world where visibility is safe and validating for everyone. You are so loved. Trans rights are human rights. -- Leah Gazan"

Today is the first provincially recognized Two-Spirit and Trans Day of Visibility in Manitoba. It was so humbling to hear from local icon Feather Talia about how allies can step up to protect the lives of our gender-diverse family.

⠀⠀ Image description via Carlisle: an illustration of ASL for transgender in trans pride flag color. The sign starts with hands almost like high five but slightly bent with thumb a bit inside, as if you’re holding an egg. The hand is placed on chest with side of thumb and index finger touching your chest. Then the hand is moved away from chest with fingers in more closed, the hand is rotated that your palm is facing inward toward your chest. Then last sign is all fingers touching each other at fingertips, with side of your pinkie finger touching the chest. ⠀⠀ #deaftransgender #deaftrans #transgenderdeaf #deafandtrans #transgender #trans #transdayofvisibility #tdov #deafqueer #deaflgbt #deaflgbtq #lgbt #deafqueerart #deaftransart #queerasl #queersigns #americansignlanguage #transisbeautiful⠀

The ASL sign for ‘transgender’ is similar to the ASL sign for ‘beautiful’ but is signed on the middle of the chest.

Je suis très honoré·e d'avoir été invité·e à participer à ce panel important, où les Sourd·e·s peuvent discuter du rôle grandissant de l’IA dans nos vies. Mais l’IA est-elle développée en tenant compte des personnes sourdes? Rien ne doit être décidé sur nous sans nous.

I'm truly honored to be invited to join this important panel, where Deaf people can discuss the ever-growing role of AI in our lives. But is AI being developed with Deaf people in mind? Nothing about us should be decided without us.

@markcarneyforpm.bsky.social is now the new Canadian PM. How long until the election writ drops?

A screenshot of a poem. The poem reads: Choose your leaders with wisdom and forethought. To be led by a coward is to be controlled by all that the coward fears. To be led by a fool is to be led by the opportunists who control the fool. To be led by a thief is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen. To be led by a liar is to ask to be told lies. To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery.

From “Parable of the Talents” by Octavia Butler

Judith Butler, philosopher: ‘If you sacrifice a minority like trans people, you are operating within a fascist logic’ A leading figure in feminism and gender studies, the thinker welcomes EL PAÍS in California after being voted one of the most influential minds in the world

Judith Butler: "Once you decide that a single vulnerable minority can be sacrificed, you’re operating within a fascist logic, because that means there might be a second one you’re willing to sacrifice, and a third, a fourth, and then what happens?"

Stand With Trans Americans You don’t have to understand everything about the transgender experience to know that Trump’s acts of humiliation and dehumanization are unjust and dangerous.

GUEST COLUMN: The current ‘mindf*ck’ of being a trans journalist Katelyn Burns explains the personal and professional toll of Trump's anti-trans executive orders.

“These first two weeks of Trump’s new term and the extensive executive orders removing nearly every right I have as a trans American have been by far the worst in all my professional years.”

In The Handbasket’s first guest piece @katelynburns.com explains the toll on trans journalists right now:
