I myself am cis, I am so sorry for what is going on right now. I lost my partner a couple years ago from suicide due to her not being able to come out to her family. I miss her dearly and hope to help avoid others experiencing that pain. Please note that this is not me pushing my beliefs onto anyone. I don’t care to have others do that to me so I will not do that to you. This is simply a resource that may be helpful if things continue the way they are going.

For anyone who may need it in the future. I am a part of the satanic temple. If you feel the need to hate on that I suggest you look into it first. The biggest thing we believe is being able to make decisions for ourselves to not cause harm others. We don’t trash on others beliefs so I will refrain from doing so and I hope those who disagree with me will show that same level of respect. We do not worship Satan we worship ourselves.

I say this because of the work they have done and are doing in the US regarding laws their that go against what should be considered basic human decency. They have fought for peoples freedoms regarding their body’s before. They offer resources to those who need it.

One of our tenets is “One’s body is inviolable, subject to one’s own will alone.” While I am not super familiar with how our religious freedoms are dealt with in Alberta I know several people who have been able to use this to be able to make decisions regarding their bodies elsewhere. A good friend of mine was able to avoid punishment for seeking an abortion after laws in her state said she couldn’t get one. And the satanic temple helped her with the resources she needed. This could be a good thing to look into if you are against what is currently happening here.

I have already reached out to them to see how else they can help to change this. I would appreciate if anyone would do the same. I’m not pushing my beliefs onto anyone. This is simply a resource you can use if needed. Feel free to contact them through their website or their social media to see how they can help.

Thank you for taking the time to read. I sincerely hope you are all shown the kindness you give others.
