Victoria University University of Transgender Studies is concerned about the presence of this year’s Moving Trans History Forward Conference, with a 40 percent expectations.
Aaron Daver says American potential people are hesitant to cross the border – not because of what can happen when they enter Canada, but what can happen when they try to return to the United States.
He says that President Donald Trump’s US administration sent a cool in January with an executive order by the trans community that the federal government recognizes two races, men and women, who cannot change and are “unchanging biological classification” from concepts.
Daver says the biennial Trans History Council, which began on Thursday, was expecting 500 attendees based on past programs, but now only 300 expected.
“Different, I am grateful to Americans almost completely to be afraid of leaving their country,” said Daver, the founder and host of the conference.
Trump’s executive order says that all identity issued by the government, including a passport and visa, “the holder of the holder must accurately reflect.”
The US State Department has said that it will stop issuing travel documents with “X” gender markers selected by many non -berib people, and it will only issue a passport with a “M” or “F” sex marker that matches the person’s “biological sex”.

Devor said the reference to this year’s conference has changed with “with anti -rhetoric and planning”.
“And we are facing the president of the most powerful nation in the world, who are trying to bong Tend that the people do not exist, and do the Best effort to erase any evidence that the trans people exist.”
Smith, the director of the Catherine White Holmen Wellness Center, said that his office was filled with immigration requests from the people of the people of the people of the United States, hoping to leave the United States and come to Canada.
