  • Advocates for the 2SLGBTQ+ community in Manitoba say they're saddened and fearful after Donald Trump took aim at transgender people in one of his first moves in office.

The article discusses the concerns of 2SLGBTQ+ advocates in both the U.S. and Canada regarding the rollback of protections under former U.S. President Donald Trump's administration. Advocates fear a "dangerous time" as Trump's policies, which include reversing transgender military service rights and bathroom access, have set a precedent that could influence Canadian policy, especially with the rise of similar conservative movements. In Canada, there's apprehension about the potential impact of these U.S. policy shifts, particularly as conservative parties gain traction. The article highlights the interconnectedness of North American politics, where changes in U.S. policy can embolden similar actions in Canada, potentially leading to a rollback of rights for the 2SLGBTQ+ community. Advocates are calling for vigilance and action to protect and advance the rights of the community amidst these political shifts.
