Findings from the assessment will be used to develop, enhance and distribute safety resources for LGBTTIQQ2S women and trans communities of Toronto.We welcome and seek to include all members of the LGBTTIQQ2S women and trans communities who feel that they would like to participate in this project. To this end, we are seeking your support in promoting the survey with LGBTTIQQ2S women and trans communities in your networks.

Heywood, you're killing my post-Pride buzz.
I posted this so women who are in the prioritized communities in Toronto can access this safety audit survey in the limited time frame that the survey will be available. Violence against women in the queer community is real and should not be diminished or made fun of. Or drifted.
I have no interest in a debate over language and terminology. Certainly not the way you framed it, Heywood.
P.S. For anyone who's wondering: Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgendered Transsexual Intersex Queer Questioning Two-Spirited. Until another, better term comes along ( there are advocacy groups working around the clock [img]rolleyes.gif" border="0[/img] ) that's what we're using.

I always go to the parade in NYC. It's BIG, it's like right there down the block. But, I keep missing out on other major cities' parades because it's too damn easy to stay home.
That's a great survey, btw.
