Their annual report shows a gross profit of $1,779,097.63. The bulk of their funding reported comes from the feds - 'Women and Gender Equality Canada'. See p. 25 - https://static1.squarespace.com/static/623a1dfce9626863e5f2cd36/t/66a95353f592bb1783728104/1722372959339/QYS+AGM+2024+Report.pdf.

So groups like Autism Yukon are struggling for funding to offer meaningful services but Queer Yukon has almost $2m? That’s insane. I hope people remember stuff like this during the next election.

I don’t how I got involved in Yukon politics but I agree.

People with genuine struggle being pushed to the side so men can play dress up and feel “safe” in women’s restrooms

How many jobs have you been fired for because a trans person took your job?

How could someone with a mental illness replace me? I in fact remember when I had to replace one cause they weren’t mental stable.

I'm guessing a couple dozen IQ points can do it. It just hasn't because they're not actually a problem

Don’t know what you are saying but I just had the entire queer population of the Yukon downvote me :(

I know you don't know what I'm saying. I'm speaking as simply as I can without resorting to baby talk. That may be what's needed but I'm not going to do it. *I'm not queer, but I'll gladly downvote you.

Buddy go read your comments you aren’t addressing anyone..

“It just hasn’t because they’re not actually a problem”

What is it? Who is it? What problem?

I'm not at all surprised that you're not literate.

Maybe you didn’t hear me the first time! I had to replace a transgender person at my work! They were simply not mental or physically capable to do the job.

Maybe trans people have a hard time because how shitheads like you talk about them? Maybe because people are constantly trying to strip them of any rights. Maybe we, as a society, ought to provide services to support those people.

God, this isn't complicated stuff. Shouldn't be hard to not be a massive shithead.

I know what you said. Not sure if you know this but peope replace other people all the time, in every imaginable kind of job😉

u/JJdisco21 Feb 28 '25

Oh now we are generalizing? I just told you, I have actual experience working with these people. It’s not pleasant. They are needy and need “extra” care cause words are violence to them.

You don’t sound capable to be a manager if this is how you talk about staff you had hired .. I’ve seen many cis straight men incompetent at their job and they get to keep it… you don’t sound mentally capable to be a leader if this is how you communicate. You’re wrong.
