A deeply concerning development is unfolding in the United States. The Department of Justice is reportedly considering a rule that could restrict firearm access for transgender individuals following a recent tragedy. While no law has been passed yet, the implications of such a proposal are alarming—not only for trans rights, but for civil liberties more broadly.

This is not just a U.S. issue. It’s a human rights issue. If Canada truly stands for inclusion and protection, we must act now to ensure our country remains a safe haven for transgender Americans who may face persecution under these policies.

Let’s raise our voices and demand that Canada offer refuge and protection to those targeted simply for being who they are.
