BDSM advocate pairs LGBT teens with older ‘mentor’ through University of Regina

A new program at the University of Regina aims to ensure that teens and young adults struggling with gender dysphoria have an older, transgender mentor to assist them in exploring their sexuality.

The program at the public university is being run by a male named Cat Haines who presents himself as a woman. Haines graduated from the university.

“Cat Haines says she did not see many trans people when she was growing up in Regina,” CBC reported. “Now she is starting Into the Streets, a mentorship program for trans feminine youth, to help the next generation.”

“Local activists are facilitating this peer mentorship program with administrative and fiscal support from Ivy+ Dean Consulting and UR Pride Centre for Sexuality and Gender Diversity,” the publication reported. “It will pair up to five youth aged 15 to 25 with experienced mentors.”

“I am a genderqueer trans girl, dyke, and academic/artist weirdo,” Haines explains on his website. “My academic research focuses on transmisogyny, and my Master’s thesis Transmisogyny and the Abjection of Girlcock looks at how trans women are cast as dangerous and disgusting intruders in (cissexist) feminist and lesbian spaces, theory, and media.”

I could swear there was a word this kind of thing, where you take vulnerable and impressionable children and put them in the care of deranged perverts... gluing? Rooming? Pruning? Someone help me out here, it's on the tip of my tongue.
