Photo essay: Trans Rights Rally on February 3

by | Mar 19, 2024 | Media

Hundreds gathered in Dr. Wilbert McIntyre Park on February 3 to protest new Alberta legislation that would restrict the rights of trans people in Alberta. The proposed legislation would restrict gender-reassignment surgery to those under 17 and ban hormone therapy for anyone under 15. During the video in which Premier Danielle Smith introduced the legislation, she also mentioned exploring restrictions on transgender athletes participating in sports.
