Last week, I had lunch with a political acquaintance, who told me right-wing parties in this country are using transphobia as a wedge issue - going into mosques and gurdwaras and temples, to "warn" parents there that trans activists are going to exploit and seduce their children. I wasn't sure whether to believe that. And then I saw how very many young Muslim women with children were part of the anti-trans protest in Ottawa today. The wedge seems to be working, alas. #TransRightsAreHumanRights
