Our female biology and society’s treatment of women based on how our biology is perceived impacts the condition of women in Canada. Even though sex is a protected ground in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, increasingly our institutions pretend they don't know this fact.

Instead, institutions treat gender identity as more important than sex and the term “woman” has been redefined in policy and practice to include males who claim to be women. This is an attack on our ability to make a better world for women.

Join the campaign to defend sex-based rights!

The Vancouver Lesbian Collective knows that sex matters in healthcare. We want nurses and other health professionals to recognize and act on this fact.

We want all women to be able to defend sex-based rights without being bullied or having their livelihoods threatened.

Lesbians are exclusively same-sex attracted women. Sex-based bias in society impacts the condition of lesbians in Canada. We still fight sexual harassment, pornification, and sexual assault from males who feel entitled to cross our boundaries. As women and as lesbians, we have the right to assert sex-based boundaries on our sexuality and our organizations, and to have these boundaries respected in society.
