We acknowledge that Toronto is the traditional territory of many nations including the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnabeg, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee, and the Wendat peoples and is now home to many diverse First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples. We acknowledge that Toronto is covered by Treaty 13 signed with the Mississaugas of the Credit, and the Williams Treaties signed with multiple Mississaugas and Chippewa bands.

One of our first tasks will be to establish some community guidelines for posting here. While we work on formal guidelines I would like to ask members to be mindful of the following when posting here:

• Posts here are publicly visible and indexable by search engines. Additionally, while we do not sanction this activity posts here will also be visible to scrapers seeking to collect data, without due authorization, for LLM training.
• Posters here are human beings, please offer each other good faith and grace whenever possible.
• Respect people's pronouns, and help others to respect your pronouns. Your profile name, bio, and signature are some places where you can disclose your pronouns, according to your comfort level.
• Bigotry will not be tolerated, including transphobia, homophobia, racism, casteism, colourism, and sexism. Unfortunately bigotry evolves and so this list is offered to be demonstrative and is not exhaustive. Moderator discretion will be used to ensure this is a space safe from bigotry of any form.

With that in mind, please be welcome and we look forward to collaborating to advance trans rights.
