Today 6th December marks 32 years since 14 women were murdered in Montreal, Canada. They were shot by because they were women.

"For decades, trans women have been kept out of the conversation around gender-based violence."

Absolutely macabre - acting as though the really bad part about a massacre is some people feeling their opinions are sidelined.

So the murderer deliberately set out to kill women (he actually let the men flee), and feminists and yet the speaker is going to talk about the number of trans people killed? When this wasn't an attack on trans people? The really annoying thing about this is that there is absolutely no way whatsoever a woman would be permitted to be the only speaker on trans day of remembrance and then change the topic of conversation entirely to be about violence against women. Women don't even get to be centred in their own memorial services.

Canada is fucked.

Or rather, the Canadian women are fucked.

This is the worst example of gas lighting I have seen - and I've seen a few.

RIP to all those poor women.

I note they intend to speak about themselves - at a commemoration for murdered women.......

FFS that report

It's the memorial on PEI which is a tiny tiny place which seems very important because it's a province but has 150k population, so less than Bolton.

Why why why have they chosen this person to speak???

vivariumvivariumsvivaria · 06/12/2021 20:47

Guess who they have speaking...brace yourself for the sharing of misogynistic groping this poor vulnerable person was subjected to.

This was a most appealing crime and dreadful act of misogyny. Those poor women and their families.

I’m very sorry to report that they have chosen a male who is transgender to speak at the memorial event
