On the 26th of July last year, the buzzer for my apartment sounded. Not expecting anyone at the time, I went to the front door to investigate, and two RCMP officers in plain clothes (although very nice plain clothes) introduced themselves to me before asking me if I had some time to talk to them. … Continue reading »

What The Actual Fuck, Alice Bailey? Stories From The Unrelenting Stupidity Files & More SlutWalk Racism
Yesterday afternoon, I was trying to draft a pattern for some beadwork, but I just couldn’t figure it out with unlined paper and a pen, so I went over to my flatmate’s computer to print some graph paper. After creating some using the tables function on Microsoft Word, I hit the “quick print” button, and … Continue reading »
Man Who Threatened To Batter Me Cries Assault/Slander When I Silently Point At Him
On July 21 last year, during a pro-choice street demonstration, a man approached the crowd of us at the corner and targeted a very pale, nervous-looking young guy for persistent badgering and antagonizing. I remember thinking to myself that the young man will just know when to walk away. I remember hearing the man who … Continue reading »
The Crimes Of Colonialism Sides With Deep Green Resistance
An elder directed me to this article today, in which a group called The Crimes Of Colonialism (hereby abbreviated as COC, pronounced “cock”, as in dickshit) publicly declares solidarity with Deep Green Resistance (DGR), with specific emphasis on DGR’s gender bashing standpoint: that trans and gender-diverse people don’t exist, on the basis that their gender identities are … Continue reading »
Deep Green Resistance: Unearthing Racist Radical Feminism & Transphobia From Within
Radical feminism came out of the idea that feminists couldn’t overstate the oppression of women. Its motto was “The personal is political” and this was promoted with the better-known but more-frequently misquoted addendum, ”All men are potential rapists.” This is important to acknowledge when we fast-forward 30 years to take a look at recent declarations by … Continue reading »
SlutWalk Vancouver (Year 3) Organizer Violates My Privacy & Outs Me As Trans
The other day, while I was addressing Vancouver Parks Board with my experiences as an out trans and genderqueer person who only accesses their facilities during private rentals, due to my observations of how other trans (some stealth) and genderqueer people are treated during public swimming hours (to say nothing of how I am treated), … Continue reading »

An Historic Day For The Rights Of Trans* & Gender-Diverse People In Vancouver
I received a text message yesterday morning, in which was asked to speak at a Vancouver Parks Board meeting during which a proposal had been tabled to begin a trans- and gender-variant-inclusion overhaul of their facilities, starting with a work group that was willing to keep advancing future proposals. I was immediately of the mind … Continue reading »
Completely Useless & Wildly Immature Correspondence With SlutWalk Vancouver (Year 3) Organizers
The first correspondence I received was originally posted on this entry, as part of my open call to boycott SlutWalk Vancouver in its third year and in future years. But as I’ve since received further correspondence, and the issues I addressed in the original piece of writing calling for a boycott, as well as in … Continue reading »
A Brief History Of SlutWalk Racism
I recently published this open call to boycott SlutWalk in its third year, on the principle that it is literally a parade of white settler privilege pretending and (more-or-less failing) to “raise consciousness about rape culture”. This post will be addressing the racism that has been inherent in the SlutWalk movement (especially in Vancouver, BC) … Continue reading »
