I hope this cannot be traced to an actual Transgender organization or individual.  I know only a very few Trans people who would support the violence indicated.  I understand the frustration of the Trans people in the community this agency serves but one part of me sees this as coming from some supporters of the agency itself in regard to its policy and recent turn down by the local city council for permits.  The idea that its clients need to be protected from Trans people because they are violent. 

 

I do not support "Separate But Equal" but Trans and Cis women need quality care in the field of shelter and emergency care for violence associated with being women, and I do believe both groups, at least at first need shelter with their own kind for emotional healing.  I will put the burden on the protesting Trans group to do more than protest.  Get your fannies out there and create one for your Trans siblings!!   Do NOT pull the terrorist thing.

I’m very shocked. There’s several examples of transgender shelters here in the states that are funded by transgender groups. I’m sure a city the size of Vancouver can follow the example as well. Yes it’s unfortunate that the shelter doesn’t include transgender women who are just as susceptible to violence and abuse but they also have to think of their clients who might be apprehensive about transgender women even if the apprehension is unfounded. Perhaps a median solution would be to open a second shelter for transgender women to allay those fears on both sides of the argument, but I suspect that in the current volatile political climate, that’s easier said than done. Any way you slice it, there’s controversy. I’m hoping that this vandalism and threatening is someone who is falsifying and trolling for backlash against the decision and not transgender activists. But now that it’s been done the emotional response is definitely going to escalate things.

Have an arrests been made regarding this incident yet?

 

I find it pretty dispicable. To be honest.

 

Has there been any widespread condemnation of the actions of these mindless few?

 

Regardless of if you think its right or wrong that the shelter will not surport Transgender people i think its sickening that graffiting buildings and nailing dead rodents to the doors has certain overtones of a certain german leaders ideology in the persecution of the Jews in the 1930s. We have all seen Pictures from history of berlin shops with slogans and graffiti dubbed on there windows. Much the same way as we have seen in this article.

It started like this. Im all for free speech. However there is a civilisied way and a way which would be deemed wrong on many levels

 

maybe you think this is an overreaction. mirroring this to an event in history where many innocents were murdered for no reason other than being born into something. But never again should we allow this sort of behavior.

 

But when is it going to stop? Will Cis rape victimes become the oppresed for something beyond there control?  Will the workers in this building become the victims of mindless attack? Just how the jews were just for being jewish. perhaps the LGBT comunity will be seen as nothing more than radicals who are just a joke with no respect for anyone other than themselves and believe the world should be revolving around them.

 

This is why this sort of behavior should be nipped in the bud and examples made of the mindless thugs who promote this kind of action. Where are all the so called trans representitives condemming this?

 

Being honest. Do they actually think that the centre will start to accept Transgender woman because of there graffti and actions. If anything it will show they are nothing but a bunch of people with delusions of superirorty who have a god given rights to be the special ones. they will close the doors for good on any trans inclusion.

 

Debate it. Talk about it. Why oh why cannot an agreement be reached without the need for this mindless acts of vandallism. Whats next?

 

We are not like this. 

 

Whos next to be seen as an enemy of the Trans? This does our ideology and the promotion of the trans community no justice. Its very easy to be tarred with the same brush.
