Are you here because of a postcard? Welcome! If you have one of these postcards, please consider posting it on a bulletin board, in a window, your car or something like that where trans folks can see it.
Recently, the Alberta government proposed sweeping changes on how transgender kids are able to access health care and express themselves. These changes will endanger lives. Supporting or being passive about these changes will contribute to so many risky outcomes for these kids. In order to channel my frustrations in a constructive way, I have spent hours in my garage treadling away on a vintage printing press to make these. We (myself and some folks in the community) are printing more. These words are important and they need to get out there. . I'm making a personal donation to the Skipping Stone legal fund. I want to make it bigger. If you picked up one of these and want to help, please just give directly to the fund. You could also drop a donation to other great Calgary organizations; Skipping Stone, The Alex, Centre for Sexuality and Trans Lifeline are all excellent choices. If you are a business owner or someone who has some trans folk in your orbit (teacher, nurse, small business or non-profit) - perhaps you need one/some of these. Fill out the contact form and drop me a line. At the end of the day I tried my hardest to make these fun and bursting with love. A way for me to say across space and time to trans kids "I choo-choo choose you!" (Just the way you are) Many thanks to the organizations and businesses who said yes to having these available - Alberta Printmakers, Esker Foundation, Inglewood Art Supplies, The Naked Leaf, Rick Rack Textiles, Stash and Found Bookshop (and for all the private purchases - you know who you are!) |
