Journalism job alert!
Script (Xtra's sister site focused on LGBTQ2S+ health) is looking for a savvy social media pro to join the team as Community Manager.
You'll be joining an emerging publication with lots of exciting things on the horizon.
Please share with your networks! Posting is below:
If you have a background in digital journalism, audience engagement, digital communications, etc, and you're passionate about making health info accessible to LGBTQ2S+ people, this could be a role for you!
We just launched this yr, so a rly exciting part of this job is we get to experiment! We don't have a "legacy audience" so we're building our own through stories we care about. A lot of our content is serious, but a lot of it is also really fun! It's a really cool place to work in my biased opinion.
We would be working together to both promote Script stories and newsletters on social, and to create standalone social content. So being able to write at a professional level in French is a must, as is an understanding of the news cycle and key queer health issues. Video editing skills are an asset.
SCRIPT IS HIRING! Come work with me! We are looking for someone *fluently* bilingual (fr/eng) who is a social media pro and who is passionate about LGBTQ2S+ health. Please share! prohttps://www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/4381174904/
It sucks. It takes away what I think it a vital pathway to the spread of more equitable policies.
A few times lately I've paused before covering good policies that cities, events, etc have put into place, bc they've been instituted in a low key way w/ little fanfare. On one hand, others can learn from these policies. On the other, if the wrong ppl start caring they exist, they could vanish.
The latest Scouts headlines have me remembering editing this story only 4 yrs ago. Wild how quickly rights get rolled back the second sth is politicized. The previous policies weren't perfect, as this story outlined, but there was no public hand-wringing about them. xtramagazine.com/power/trans-...
Rédacteur·ice en chef de Script @ziyajones.bsky.social explique comment les temps d’attente pour les chirurgies d'affirmation de genre ont évolué — et ce que cela signifie pour les Québécois·e·s trans et non binaires qui cherchent à obtenir des soins.
Script’s managing editor @ziyajones.bsky.social breaks down how wait times have changed for gender-affirming surgeries with the recent budget cuts—and what this means for trans and non-binary Quebeckers seeking care.
“What would [it] mean, to be ready to defend ourselves [as trans women], especially as communities of disabled people, chronically ill people, of people whose bodies are constantly subjected to the criticism of being 'weak' or 'unfit?'” @razorfemme.bsky.social's new column is now live at Script:
There is an epidemic of transgender violence spreading across the West. Today, a transgender school shooter murdered 9 innocent victims and injured 25 more in Tumbler Ridge, BC. My heart breaks for the victims, their families, and the community. But I can’t stop at condolences — we need solutions. Look at the pattern: Aberdeen Rite Aid Facility in Maryland. Club Q in Colorado. Highlands Ranch School in Colorado. Annunciation Catholic School in Minnesota. Covenant School in Tennessee. Tumbler Ridge Secondary School in British Columbia.
This epidemic of violence will continue until we change our society’s response to transgender ideology. When people are a danger to themselves and others, the common sense solution is to treat their mental illness rather than affirm dangerous delusions. I encourage parents and teachers to help fight the transgender violence epidemic themselves — since their government is obviously uninterested in doing so. This issue is entrenched at every level of our education and healthcare systems. If a minor in your care expresses a desire to transition their gender identity, help them. Offer compassion. Affirming delusions is neglect, not care. Our kids are perfect just the way they are. So tell them plainly: they don’t need to change their name or experiment with harmful drugs and surgeries to be loved.
At a time when the focus should be on a community in mourning, people like MLA Tara Armstrong are using a horrific tragedy to promote what boils down to conversion therapy. Nauseating.
A must-read today: "An entire community is mourning a horrific loss in Tumbler Ridge this week. And how it is being talked about online, and the dangerous links being made to trans people at large, will have resounding and dangerous impacts in the months and weeks to come."
News article snippet
As we all move through the grief that news out of BC is bringing, I hope that this info is not eclipsed by sensational coverage about the shooter's gender. Everything about this is heartbreaking.
As the search for work gets more desperate, queer and trans workers often see the worst sides of work. But they also come with brilliant solutions.
