In a deeply troubling turn, U.S. Representatives Nancy Mace and Ronny Jackson have publicly called for transgender individuals to be institutionalized. Their rhetoric—describing trans people as “violently ill” and “a virus”—is not only dehumanizing, it echoes dangerous historical patterns of persecution.

This is not just political posturing. It's a direct threat to the safety and dignity of transgender Americans. We must raise our voices louder than ever.

Canada has a moral responsibility to offer refuge to those targeted by such hate. I urge you to share this petition widely, contact your representatives, and demand that Canada take action to protect persecuted transgender individuals.

Together, we can stand against this cruelty and affirm that trans rights are human rights.
