Giving trans folk a break

Trans people in Quebec will be holding a peaceful rally today against the Quebec government’s highly restrictive rules regarding legal change of name and gender. The rally will take place from 3:30 to 6:00 p.m. in front of the Directeur de l’état civil, at the corner of rue De Bleury and rue du Président-Kennedy. I’ll be looking for folks to interview so come say hi.
