One of those things that "never happens" just happened again: Male, Transgender, Boasts of Harassing Women in Crisis Shelter

When these posts & behaviors were brought to the attention of the DEWC, their Twitter response was to call women’s concerns “harmful mistruths,” because Tyler is transgender, despite the numerous disturbing social media posts presented to them in which Tyler is abusive and predatory, admits to stabbing someone & being a ‘violent offender,’ discusses masturbating in the shower, and shares a recipe for making the deadly poison Ricin while mentioning the Vancouver water supply. When asked by numerous people online, DEWC never explained what ‘mistruths’ were supposedly shared.

Hundreds of people commented on the lack of concern for the women’s safety in the shelter, which the DEWC dismissed in a formal statement on Sept 17th as ‘transphobic.’ The shelter said “we refuse to engage in a dialogue that gives a platform to transphobic groups or individuals or otherwise does damage to women who are transgender.”
