Statement on our September 27, 2025 counterprotest.
On September 27, 2025, Trans Rights Commission Toronto held a counterprotest demonstration at Queen’s Park as a public statement of opposition to rising anti-trans extremism and a consolidation of community power. Although our counterprotest was organized in response to an anti-trans hate rally calling for healthcare to be forcibly withheld from trans kids, we explicitly planned our counterprotest to reassume the public narrative on trans rights from anti-trans extremists. As such, our focus is not on the violent demands of these extremists; rather, it is on how we now move forward to most effectively safeguard trans rights in Toronto and throughout Canada.
