Trans Rights

Nope, they're ineffective because some people feel they're ineffective. So those people work in other ways to bring about change. Which seems to upset you terribly.
Maybe they should give it a try before going off all willynilly.
Human rights commission. As long as you are not white, they are on your side, right or wrong. We even have an anti muslim hatred commissar. Run by a Jew hater.
Never seen one. Most of our beaches have a shit house or two. Or none. Same with worksites. Sometimes they will have a pink one, that is supposed to be for women, but a lot of women don't like it. They say it is always too dirty. I'd rather pee behind an outhouse than go in one.
Point 1 - Who's fault is that? Assholes against every spectrum of people out there exists. That's nothing new. The difference here with women, people of colour and disabled is that these groups took action through the legal system and ensured existing laws were enforced correctly. When those laws are properly enforced, the previously mentioned assholes soon figure out they can't get away this crap anymore. Having an annual parade down a street doesn't work.
Can't say when the last time I saw a bunch of people in wheelchairs hold an annual parade of awareness down a street or wave a flag thinking it'll make some magical difference.
Point 2 - Everyone already has the same rights. That's what everyone else here is already saying. If someone infringes on said rights, you use the tools that already exist to protect those rights. See Point 1.
Point 3 - And how are they fighting? Posting on social media for sympathy and doing demonstrations isn't fighting. Just as you should have figured out by now, debating and arguing with people online / social media doesn't change people's opinions. You express those opinions but that's it. See Point 1.
Point 4 - If someone in a position of authority within the legal system has shown clear bias, guess what? You can take them and their ruling to court. See Point 1.
Point 5 - You're funny if you think doing anything outside of Point 1 will move the needle in any way. See Point 1.
Point 6 - So you think the justice system is only there for people with a bunch of money and the poor are left to fend for themselves? That right there seems to be the problem with your whole argument.....
In Canada, if someone with limited financial resources needs to take a matter to court, there are several options to help make the legal process more accessible:
1. Small Claims Court
For disputes involving smaller amounts of money (the limit varies by province, e.g., up to $35,000 in Ontario), Small Claims Court is an accessible option.
It has simplified procedures, and you can often represent yourself without a lawyer.
2. Legal Aid
Legal Aid provides free or low-cost legal services to those with low income. Eligibility depends on income, assets, and the type of case.
Visit your provincial Legal Aid office (e.g., Legal Aid Ontario, Legal Aid BC) to apply.
3. Pro Bono Services
Some lawyers or organizations offer pro bono (free) legal services for individuals who cannot afford to pay.
Examples include Pro Bono Ontario, Pro Bono Quebec, or Access Pro Bono in BC.
4. Community Legal Clinics
Many provinces have community legal clinics that provide free assistance for specific legal issues, such as housing, employment, or family law.
Check for local clinics in your area through Legal Aid or your province’s legal resources.
5. Duty Counsel
In some cases, free legal advice is available in court through duty counsel—lawyers or paralegals who assist those representing themselves in specific matters.
6. Self-Representation
Representing yourself in court is a cost-effective option. Provincial and federal governments provide resources to guide self-represented litigants, such as:
Legal information websites (e.g., Steps to Justice in Ontario or Justice BC).
Court staff who can help with procedural questions (but not legal advice).
7. Civil Resolution Tribunal (CRT)
In provinces like British Columbia, the CRT handles small claims, strata disputes, and other issues online, often at a lower cost than traditional court.
8. Fee Waivers
If you cannot afford court fees, you can apply for a fee waiver. Each province has specific forms and processes for requesting this relief.
9. Legal Aid Clinics at Universities
Many law schools operate clinics where law students, supervised by lawyers, offer free or low-cost legal assistance.
10. Access to Justice Organizations
Organizations like JusticeNet or provincial bar associations may provide referrals or reduced-fee services for individuals with modest incomes.
...... See. Point. 1.
So. . . Canada had no demonstrations or other non-legal (as opposed to illegal) actions for racial, sex, or other rights? No Suffragettes? No FN demos? No gay rights parades?
Ah, good old fashion diflection and avoidance.
There certainly are. As I said, they don't do anything, just as they don't do a damn thing where you seem to live. It might make some people feel good for a temporary amount of time when they do protest or parade, but when was the last time you saw someone say, "Gee, that parade sure made me think. I'm going to change my ways."?
I can't recall a single person.
Anywho, I don't like running around in circles over nothing with no outcome. I said what I had to say. Moving on. Have a wonderful day.
