Forgot to tag @corasottawa in this thread..
Since I was limited on the previous thread, I'm continuing on here from that thread.. Recently Jelena(@IsisIntrepid) was contacted by a women's crisis agency that she provided the SWAP Hamilton training to previously, they were hoping for the same training from her.

The funny thing about outing a sex work archivist's legal name is that the archivist instinctually documents the transgression. The record is indelible and if you continue to fraudulently claim legitimacy in the sex worker non-profit space again, the evidence will resurface.

Just a heads up that @corasottawa is a sham and is trying to make money off of the backs of sex workers while pretending to be a non-profit. Do not trust them. I brought up concerns to them and they immediately blocked me and pretending to be diplomatic. Not trustworthy.

Could you stop using the stigma against strip clubs and sex workers in your PR stunt? @kwetoday and I already gave you a cease and desist and a letter regarding your purposeful use of language meant to weaponize stigma for your @OntarioNDP PR goals. It is not feminist. STOP! ✋️
You've heard of the Greenbelt Scandal...and maybe of the shady Ontario Place spa deal. But have you heard of Doug Ford's latest scandal? $100M went to his campaign manager's clients. $17M went to clients of his former principal secretary. $10M went to the owner of a strip

Was asked to share, and groups like SWAP Hamilton (run by a trans SWer) are the under-represented demographic in SW we exist to serve and help raise their voices. If they are struggling with feeling supported they need and deserve to be heard. There is an ongoing concern with

Hey @deirdrepike: @HamiltonPolice Sgt. Rebecca Moran wouldn't charge the guy who assaulted @IsisIntrepid until Lisa Johnson demanded it because a crowd of hundreds of people witnessed it. Rebecca didn't want to help me and refused to testify at the trial to help! 🤢 🤕 🤮
