We heard the other day about the forced cancellation of a debate at Montreal's McGill University on Sex vs. Gender by a violent group of trans activists. They were led by one Celeste Trianon, who was quoted at length about the supposed transphobia of the event, and the "tons of scientific evidence" showing how much more vulnerable the trans community is compared to the Ls and Gs and Bs.

Genevieve Gluck at Reduxx has more on this charmer:

Trianon, a law student at the University of Montreal, describes himself as a “a transfeminine sapphic jurist and activist.” In partnership with two student groups, Trianon organized the protest through a Facebook page, where it was claimed that the debate would “contribute directly to the systemic elimination of trans voices and lives worldwide.”

In the days leading up to the planned protest, Trianon published an open letter which similarly argued that “McGill University is actively contributing to the genocide of trans people across the world,” and attempted to portray both the LGB Alliance and Wintemute as participants in a far-right conspiracy.

“Every extra minute of airtime given to an anti-trans activist … will contribute to the premature deaths of trans people worldwide,” Trianon wrote.

According to his Facebook profile, Trianon is the president of a non-profit organization called Gender Euphoria (Euphorie dans le genre) which purports to give funding to “trans-led networks” and also has “allocated resources to provide our team members with work allowance.”

The term ‘gender euphoria‘ has frequently been used to describe a state of sexual arousal upon wearing clothing associated with the opposite sex. Curiously, Gender Euphoria’s official website provides the option to “leave without a trace,” which, when clicked, deletes the site from a visitor’s browser history.

It is, in other words, a site for autogynephiles.

Trianon has advocated for the medical transitioning of minors and has claimed that drugs used to halt puberty are “entirely reversible gender-affirming care,” despite mounting evidence to the contrary and increasing criticism of the practice. In a 2021 article for Sex [M]ed, Trianon argued that under-18’s can display “psychological maturity” which must be taken into account when determining the ability to consent to surgeries, and criticized “preexisting stereotypes surrounding children and teenagers … that they aren’t mature enough to make choices concerning themselves.” …

Trianon is also the Director of TransEstrie, which “provides trans, non-binary, and questioning people with access to products that are not widely available in the area, such as binders, packers, gaffs, and breastforms.”

TransEstrie works in partnership with a company called Banana Prosthetics to advertise prosthetic penises known euphemistically as ‘packers’ – some of which are designed to resemble the genitalia of prepubescent boys and intended to be worn by very young girls.

“Young trans or non-binary boys need age-appropriate prostheses and that’s why we offer them the possibility of getting packers, stand-to-pee and boxers that meet their needs,” reads the site. “We also have the possibility to order packers suitable for even younger boys.”

Trianon’s organization invites youth to directly contact the organization to make an appointment to try on the gear available.

Hmm.

There's more:

In addition to Gender Euphoria and TransEstrie, Trianon currently works with a group called The Quebec Trans ID Clinic, which helps individuals change their names and falsify their sex on legal documents.

In a December 24 post to Instagram, Trianon can be seen holding documents requesting alterations to identifying markers alongside controversial trans-identifying male Sophie LaBelle.

LaBelle, the creator of a webcomic series entitled Assigned Male, came under intense scrutiny in 2021 for creating diaper and furry fetish art based on photographs of real infants sourced online. Last year, Reduxx learned that LaBelle had been speaking on trans issues at elementary schools across Quebec.
