[Wamvan] Transgender rights activism in Canada--resources and contacts for column?

[Tami Starlight]

and feel free to call me.

plenty of organizations are anti trans.

vancouver rape relief is one - of many.
many came out of the oppression closet when Bill C389 was close to passing.
many related to nutty fundamentalist religions.

radical feminist and trans proud!

also.......the trans community is hyper oppressive and not connected well.
