As an example: my mother is in her 70’s, her health and mobility are both bad, she cannot easily travel to visit her family in Canada. She lives in Bellingham, a two hour drive away. But anyone who tries to visit her with a gender presentation that doesn’t match their birth certificate? Is at risk.
And of course, this is before we get into the active threats to Canadian sovereignty that have been made by publicly by Trump and are eagerly repeated by his fascist sycophant followers—“51st state” etc. He’s running the playbook that Putin used on Ukraine, and many of us are aware of this fact.
