I'm failing to see why trans-rights activists in Edmonton can't also be pro-Palestine. The two are not mutually exclusive.
As far as protesting in this country and the U.S., it's about trying to get those governments to stop sending money and weapons to Israel to help them accomplish their genocidal goals.
