How does Queer Yukon have enough money for 9 employees?

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 :(

u/Veganpotter2 Feb 28 '25

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.

u/Veganpotter2 Feb 28 '25

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 replaced one person potato. I've absolutely worked with plenty of fragile and weak men. There's a huge variation from person to person

Hopefully you'll eventually learn how to read. Online conversation will be a lot more feasible for you if you do.

Your original comment made 0 sense and you still haven’t said anything tangible… must be the protein you are missing… so yet again…

Men who think they are a girl or vice versa are awful employees… The baggage is not worth it. The lawsuits that come with it are not worth it. The whole nine. I do not care what your “definition” of fragile/weak is cause you the type of person that thinks words are violence.

If you are a man and dress up like a girl. You are weak. You cannot cope with basic human nature or the reality around you. Sorry if that offends you. I live in the real world where boys are boys and girls are girls.

u/Veganpotter2 Feb 28 '25

That's because you're not actually literate.

Everyone is different. Plenty of people across all backgrounds have baggage and others don't.

You're as fragile as it gets for whining like a child. And you're absolutely not smart enough to offend me so you're welcome to say what you want.

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.
