As a member of the LGBTQ community in America…thank you. Soon you may be asked to include the whole LGBTQ community as we are all being attacked to some degree.

Oh, we should set up one of the petitions that actually goes to Parliament if we haven't already. If someone knows of an existing one, let's boost that, or I'll look into creating one.

I did a search using any sort of relevant words that I could think of, and couldn't find anything...

nonbinary.computer•92 days ago

Ok, I'll try and set one up, then. There's stuff I'm doing offline which would be much easier, if it becomes necessary, with support from our government. Hell, if my American friends are any indication, making it easy and safe for trans people to move here would be a huge boon for our tech sector.

monicarooney.bsky.social•92 days ago

My first thought when they said they wanted to purge trans people from government jobs was “so you don’t want anyone working on infosec anymore?”

Please and thank you! As an American intersex parent of a trans child, I have been disheartened looking at the Canadian border policies on asylum. The 🍊 admin is directly affecting millions of queer, neurodivergent and disabled families and individuals, but we can't apply. We need help.

monarchlou.bsky.social•92 days ago

I'm canadian and I signed it.

ashleighcooper.bsky.social•92 days ago

Please! So many trans Americans need a way out. 🤞🏻

kerryanncoder.bsky.social•92 days ago

The problem is, even if successful, this only means that trans refugees from Latin America and other non-US countries could qualify. Us trans-Americans are still fucked.

monicarooney.bsky.social•92 days ago

We definitely should change that and I’ll be contacting my MP about it

damascus.bsky.social•92 days ago

i'm hoping that at the very least this is a good first step toward changing that. acknowledging that the US is no longer a "safe third country" can help along the idea that it's just not a safe country period.

Please work to reclassify the US as anything but a "safe" state, especially for transfolk. People are dying. We need asylum. We have a lot to contribute to whatever society accepts us. Help. SOS.

closeted-furry.bsky.social•91 days ago

Done and done. Let's get our brothers and sisters to where they need to be

ernos.bsky.social•91 days ago

Do you know if I can sign this as a temporary resident of Canada?
I'm waiting for my Permanent Residency in the coming months but I don't want to ruin the credibility of the petition by signing if I can't as a temp resident

ravenwings.bsky.social•93 days ago

Is there a gc. Ca petition yet?

Currently in the process of planning an immigration to Canada for myself my non binary spouse and our four kids, at least one of whom is actively exploring their gender identity. We probably can make the cut but it would be nice to have an easier route with fewer hoops

ehulani.bsky.social•91 days ago

Canadian moving home (with trans relatives coming with us) from the US asap. Signed and shared. Hoping to bring friends north with us, eventually.

amydebrota.bsky.social•91 days ago

Please do this! I need for my trans son to have an exit strategy.

Would it matter that I'm not a citizen of Canada?

nattack.bsky.social•92 days ago

I’m a Canadian living abroad and signed up no problem with a US number and address

nilesandlaura.bsky.social•92 days ago

The only mandatory field is for email address. Name, phone number, and address are all optional.

parisien.gay•93 days ago

They ask for a Canadian phone number I think

ericasjourney19.bsky.social•92 days ago

Just adopt Washington and Oregon....many would welcome this! But wait 6ish months until I'm moved and settled lol

monicarooney.bsky.social•92 days ago

That might be on the table f the CalifornExit movement takes off. I’ve never been there but would love to visit. That won’t happen while Trump is in office.

Anyone know of petitions for Mexico? I’m thinking Latinx trans people might feel more comfortable there.

tallysgreatestfan.bsky.social•92 days ago

Not from Canada nor any ties to Canada, is there any way to still support other than sharing?

b1a-z3n.bsky.social•91 days ago

This would be awesome, does the petition edit the restrictions placed on disabled immigrants / refugees ?

Really don't want to be trapped here waiting to die, but being disabled has made it virtually impossible to leave

😭

bflogrl64.bsky.social•92 days ago

Good idea. Sadly, well deserved change of status.

paul4692.bsky.social•91 days ago

Wrote a physical letter and everything about the US is not a safe third country during the first Trump presidency.

Maybe Trudeau and his people are feeling a little less cheery towards the guy who just started a perfectly pointless trade war though.

Maybe they're paying attention, this time.

soccerdaddy.bsky.social•91 days ago

I've been meaning to call my MP about this, too. Apply pressure in some way.
