support a gender-affirming approach to health care for transgender youth.
I was very sad and disappointed to see that, in the world where we have so many significant challenges facing our society, that one of the main political parties in Canada, one [of] which I used to be a member, would devote time to hurting some of the most vulnerable people in society.That we're not dangerous. We're not scary. You know, we're just trying to live our lives. Especially trans youth are just trying to navigate an extremely difficult part of their lives.
That's very important to me. And the Conservative Party seemingly used to stand for that, or at least the people said they did. What we can see with these votes and these motions is that I suppose they believe the state does have a place in the bedrooms of the nation. Several years ago, if a U.S. state proposed a bathroom bill, it would be an international story. Now, we have ... one of the main political parties in Canada proposing a nationwide bathroom bill, and even more restrictive.
I have felt a shift. I ran in the riding of Victoria, where I lived and went to university and lived and worked for a long time, and ... I felt very supported.
