This looks well worth the time! Anyone have any ideas on how to get a certain premier to attend? #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

In this new op-ed with Florence Ashley, we argue that all Albertan youth are disadvantaged and made less safe by the new anti-trans, anti-queer laws coming into effect under the UCP government. #abpoli theconversation.com/danielle-smith…

Alberta just passed anti-2SLGBTQ+ laws that signal second-class citizenship for queer and trans people Introduction of these laws have regressed public attitudes- yesterday Barrhead, AB banned Pride crosswalks See these laws for what they are: attempts to eradicate queer life

I'm delighted to share this new piece which is the editorial introduction to a special issue: "Mobilising Queer Joy: Establishing Queer Joy Studies." Co-written with Casey Burkholder. Queer Joy Lab journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/13…

This is how a government shows support for gender diverse kids. Well done, New Brunswick 👏🏼. Alberta, take note. #ableg #abpoli

Delighted to launch the Queer Joy! project’s website! See collage, zines, and short films created by 2SLGBTQ+ youth in resistance to rising hate in Alberta, Canada, where these youth are facing the most draconian anti-queer and trans laws in the country: queerjoy.ca

Honoured to have been asked to deliver a keynote speech in Melbourne at the Australian Research Centre in Sex, Health and Society at La Trobe University. The symposium feels like a light in a dark political moment for 2SLGBTQ+ communities. Join us! Register at tinyurl.com/4s3mazkw #LGBTQ

This is genocidal. It's attempt to eradicate trans cultures and people from the next generation.

Removing Pride flags from Edmonton libraries is shameful and fascist. These flags indicate that everyone is welcome in public libraries, and to want to remove that signal of belonging is aborrent #ableg edmontonjournal.com/news/local-new…

I'm excited to share this new paper that addresses a critically understudied area of sexual and gender-based violence research. Read the article (open access) here: tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10… #endgbv #queerjoy

Pride is a time to celebrate the leadership and joy of 2SLGBTQIA+ communities. It is also a call to action. This June, explore LN resources that center 2SLGBTQIA+ experiences, while recognizing the power of storytelling, and queer and trans joy. (1/2) ow.ly/8Ma550W54BK

Kids will die because of this. Last month, a young queer AB woman I interviewed said her trans partner took their life last year because of the hateful climate. The UCP’s use of this clause is unconscionable #abpoli

The so-called “Fairness & Safety in Sport Act” isn’t protecting girls, it’s scaring them out of play and policing their bodies. Height, weight, and strength differences already exist in youth sports. The only thing this law protects is political theatre. Kids just want to play.
