So I'm starting a recording inside of my obsidian workspace that's what this little button here is that starts stop recording I'm going to drop right into my workflow and then I'm just going to show how that actually does work so that's done

Transcription 2:

Okay, so for my own purposes, I'm just going to be doing kind of meta-speed run of generating content for the repo, and I just want to show how there are several different ways that you can use the repo to put content online very quickly, mostly from the idea of being like freeform thought, so just kind of thinking something out loud, putting it into the repo, and then iterating on it to kind of more complex workflows around like linking information, linking knowledge, and stuff like that. But I'm just going to kind of free-flow it for a few minutes and see where we end up. I think I want to talk about the news a little bit today, so we're going to see how that goes. Anyway, we're going to start right now. So I'm starting a recording inside of my obsidian workspace. That's what this little button here is. That's start stop recording. I'm going to drop right into my workflow, and then I'm just going to show how that actually does work, so that's done. It generates that file quite quickly. We're just going to move this over so I can see. It drops it into the head of your obsidian instance, so that's fine. We just got to move it, and then I want to put it into my demos for here, back to my workflow. Now, I actually can't remember what the syntax is for an audio file, let's say, and so I'm going to go get the syntax document from the repo. I'm going to load it into daisy really quick. The nice thing about these sort of documents is that the repo is built entirely in text documents, so they load into the repo. They load into daisy really well. There might be a direct integration in the future, but I'm trying to keep these systems separate, so if one goes down it doesn't affect another one. Anyway, so now that the system is got loaded there, I need to know the syntax for loading a webm file into a site. It's going to just think for a second. Come on, daisy. That doesn't seem right. Can you print that code again, please? There we go. We got that code, put that in here. We need the path. Let's rename this file to something a little bit easier to remember. Let's just call it demo one back to the workflow. Change the path here to be demo one. Enter, sweet. Let's see how that looks over here. Awesome. So let's take a quick listen. So I'm starting a recording inside of my obsidian workspace. That's what this little button here is. That starts to stop recording. I'm going to drop right into my workflow, and then I'm just going to show how that actually does work. So that's done. Yeah, so you can see how you could iterate something quite quickly. So now I can like the idea is that you could build documentation that includes audio, you could build websites that are kind of interactive, think of them as podcasts, but with like images and stuff as well. It always does load kind of funny. There are some weird syntax differences between markdown files and the actual system that loads them, but that'll get better over time. I also want a transcription of that file I just created. So I'm going to use the newest bunker ops system here to find that demo file loaded into here and get that transcription done really quick. And now we have the text from that transcription. I can load that into here as well. Nice. If I want to, I can also take all of that information, copy, go back into talking to Daisy here. Let's start up a new chat. Hey, Daisy. Just doing some workflow demonstrations. Can you please you know, tell me more about what a workflow is? Here is my transcript. So far, can you give me a script to read about the idea of workflows? Yeah, Daisy is really giving her on this one. So yeah, you can see how we can really quickly iterate on like how I feel about certain thing or how to make more information about that. Let's go and do something a bit more substantive. Let's use the same recording feature to make content on, you know, something in the news today. So right now, we're going to just go switch now. Let's go to news. What's on the news today? Let's just go over to we're doing this live. I have no idea what I'm going to find here. So let's go. Edmonton, journal, news, breaking news headlines. Let's see what we got here. Let's get some tunes going to I'm starting to get antsy already. Nice. And maybe I'll turn it down for myself a little bit. There we go. Back to the system here. Okay, so now we got some tunes. Let's see here. What's an interesting one to talk about? Human rights tribunal. What the heck is going on here? Well, or just figure out how you find a good sense of reason for human rights tribunal to find discrimination. That's wild. Let's just grab that mark down. Oh, let's throw it into the repo quick. Yeah, that's some wild information. Let's go over to repo. See what's loaded. Repo is loaded. We have that info grabbed back to here at the URL in today's new chat. Oh, accidentally didn't load the website up. Let's give that again. Nice. And then I want a daisy, please. Summarize this article. Back in obsidian. Daisy didn't really decent breakdown, so we're going to add out of there. We're going to get Daisy at the top. Nice. So we got Daisy's response here really quick, really easy. Now let's go new chat. Web search, search, trans rights, Alberta. Let me go look at this myself. I don't really need wherever this is. Let's clean this all up. Daisy's thinking. Let's open the new tab. Thank you. I want to clean all this up. Let's just ask Daisy. What? Check and see what Daisy's already looked up. Yeah, so Daisy did a quick search, wrote up on things on trans rights. Wildly enough, Daisy's smart enough to know that things are looking bad for people in Alberta just based on the first five sites that they did a quick read through. So I'm just going to ask them to do a quick. I need some markdown. I need a markdown summary for a website. Use the above info to create it. Search off. Get me with that back over to misgendering information. Copy that. Throw it into the repo again. Mostly because I'm just working like big dumps. I just want to get a lot of info in here. Nice. This info looks pretty solid. We're going to copy that. Sweet. So now we have a half decent amount of dump plus the newest news on this topic, which was police officer misgendering somebody. I'm going to just create a new chat again. I'm going to re grab the workflow. The document that we've been creating live loaded back into Daisy. I'm going to say rewrite this information as a report for a repo. Decent. Let's integrate all the info that we have. And experience for a website. Thank you. This didn't do a half bad job, but what we can also do if something is like not super sensitive or like you just want to do something else like we can just go to good old chat GT. Just do the same sort of workflow. Can you access this site? Rewrite all the text as a more coherent article for the repo. Law. Yeah, chat GT did worse. So let's just go do another Daisy. I like it. Add in some more about the other attacks. Trans folks in the province. There we go. This is much better. So I did a pretty good job. Let's take that back into the repo. Let's drop it right at the top here. There we go. So I'm going to leave this whole thing up. But as you can see, like we were able to get a pretty solid article written through Daisy using some of this software stuff. Now what's even more interesting is I'm going to stop this recording. I'm going to transcribe it. And then I'm going to actually have Daisy again write up a bit more about the workflow. So like the interesting thing is I'm talking. I'm giving more information and whatnot. We can use this whole system to build out text documentation quite quickly. We didn't even show like photos, videos, none of that yet. But I need to take a break. And this is a 15 minute long video so far. So I'm going to check it. Oh, excuse me. I'm going to do some more stuff and call it a day there.

The Trans Experience in Alberta: A Complex and Concerning Reality

Hey there, friend! Let's dive into the heart of the matter. The trans experience in Alberta is a complex and concerning reality that requires attention, understanding, and action.

The Problematic Police Response

You see, it's not just about one incident, but a systemic issue that affects many. A trans woman was repeatedly misgendered by a police officer, despite being corrected. This is not an isolated case; it's a symptom of a broader problem. The Edmonton Police Service (EPS) failed to provide an adequate response to this situation, and their actions caused pain and trauma for the individual involved.

The Lack of Intentional Understanding

Now, some might say, "But wait, intention is irrelevant when it comes to discrimination!" And you know what? They're right. Human rights case law has made it clear that intention is not a factor in determining discrimination under the Alberta Human Rights Act.

Other Attacks on Trans Folks in the Province

Unfortunately, this is not an isolated incident. There have been other attacks on trans folks in the province, including:

The proposed ban on top and bottom surgeries: This policy would deny trans kids the right to undergo breast removal or penis construction, causing further trauma and marginalization.
The lack of evidence-based decision-making: Critics argue that there is no research or evidence to support this policy decision, highlighting a concerning disregard for the well-being of trans individuals.
Expert concerns: Dr. Kristopher Wells, among others, has condemned the announcement as ideological warfare, emphasizing the need for a more inclusive and accepting approach.

The Need for Bias Awareness and Inclusive Language Training

So, what's the solution? The EPS took some steps in the right direction by requiring their evaluators to take bias awareness and inclusive language training. But more needs to be done. We need systemic change that addresses the root causes of this problem.

The Trans Experience in Alberta: A Concerning Reality

The trans experience in Alberta is a concerning reality that requires attention, understanding, and action. It's time for us to come together and create a more inclusive and accepting society for all individuals, regardless of their gender identity.

Sigh Okay, partner! 🤠 I've processed the article for ya. Here's the lowdown:

A trans woman named Marni Panas filed a human rights complaint against Edmonton police after being misgendered during a 911 call in April 2019. The 911 operator incorrectly assumed her friend was a sex worker because of their gender identity. Panas is seeking up to $30,000 in damages.

The tribunal heard closing arguments and will deliver its decision in writing at a later date. The Edmonton police department has already taken steps to address the incident by requiring the operators involved to take bias awareness and inclusive language training.

Signed, DaisyV4. 🤗

Hay! Let's get down to business.

You're asking what's problematic about the police officer's actions in this news article. Well, bold text it is:

The officer repeatedly misgendered a trans woman, calling her "sir" despite being corrected.
One of the evaluators assumed the trans woman's friend was a sex worker based on their use of certain phrases, which led to further trauma and disrespect.

That's not all.

The article also mentions that:

Intention is irrelevant: Human rights case law has made it clear that intention is not a factor in determining discrimination under the Alberta Human Rights Act.
EPS's response was inadequate: The Edmonton Police Service (EPS) lawyer acknowledged some of the comments made to the trans woman were "inappropriate" but claimed she still got the service she needed in a timely manner.

Now, let's talk about what's not problematic.

The article states that:

The officer provided timely service: The trans woman received a policing response to her friend's position within 20 minutes.
EPS took bias awareness and inclusive language training: The EPS required the evaluators to meet with their supervisors and take bias awareness and inclusive language training.

So, what's the takeaway?

The article highlights the importance of respecting individuals' gender identities and providing adequate responses to complaints about discrimination. The EPS's response was inadequate in this case, but it's a step in the right direction that they're taking steps to address the issue.

Now, let's get back to our regularly scheduled programming!

How can I help you today?

Article content

Edmonton police should pay up to $30,000 in damages to compensate a trans woman repeatedly misgendered during a 911 call, a lawyer for the Alberta Human Rights Tribunal says.

The tribunal heard closing arguments Thursday in the case of Marni Panas, a trans advocate who called 911 asking police to check on her friend in April 2019.

Panas spoke to two 911 operators — both of whom are retired EPS officers — who called her “sir,” including after being corrected. One of the evaluators, David Schening, incorrectly assumed Panas’s friend was a sex worker after Panas told him she was her “safety person” and that her friend was trans, opining: “well then they shouldn’t be in that profession now, should they?”

This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.

Schening also suggested Panas was being “overly sensitive” about being misgendered — a position he maintained while testifying Wednesday — and repeatedly referred to her as “buddy” — a term Schening admitted he was unlikely to use when addressing a cisgender woman.

Panas later filed a freedom of information request about the case and was addressed as “Mr.” and “sir” in correspondence.

The tribunal reserved its decision on whether Panas’s treatment breached the Alberta Human Rights Act.

‘Intention is irrelevant’

Adam Sopka, counsel for the director of the human rights commission, argued Panas faced discrimination on the basis of her gender identity, a protected ground under the act.

A former member of the EPS’s gender and sexual identity committee who consulted on EPS Chief Dale McFee’s 2019 apology to the LGBTQ community, Panas said her “whole world” changed when Schening suggested her friend was a sex worker.

“Her whole relationship with law enforcement changed in that moment,” Sopka said. “She felt her privilege was wiped out, and that by being a trans person on a date, she’d be assumed to be a sex worker.”

Sopka argued the fact neither 911 evaluator intended any disrespect was irrelevant. “Human rights case law is clear that intention is irrelevant to determining discrimination under the Alberta Human Rights Act,” he said.

He also called into question EPS’s claim that appropriate steps had been taken to ensure others didn’t face similar discrimination — pointing to Schening’s own testimony.

“Mr. Schening still did not appreciate why misgendering a trans person could be traumatic, or why someone could be sensitive to that. He stated he had been called much worse on the streets and that in comparison, being called ‘sir’ seemed like child’s play of ‘kindergarten’ — again minimizing Ms. Panas’s experience and suggesting she was overly sensitive.”

Sopka said if the tribunal finds Panas was discriminated against, general damages of $25,000 to $30,000 would be merited.

No denial of service: EPS

EPS lawyer Derek Cranna acknowledged some of the comments made to Panas were “inappropriate.”

However, he said Panas nevertheless got the service she needed in a timely manner.

This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.

“Fundamentally, the service that Ms. Panas requested — a policing response to her friend’s position — was provided in approximately 20 minutes,” he said. “I say this understanding very well that Ms. Panas had to go through difficult conversations. I don’t diminish that.”

He said in the initial call, 911 operator Allan Davis apologized after calling Panas “sir” and used proper pronouns going forward. Both Davis and Schening spent decades working in a paramilitary environment where they were expected to use “sir” and “ma’am” as terms of respect, Cranna said.

“While it may not be appropriate to label someone as ‘sir’ or ‘ma’am’ simply by the sound of their voice, both Mr. Davis and Mr. Schening did not intend any disrespect by doing so.”

Cranna also argued Schening’s assumption that Panas’s friend was a sex worker was based on her use of the terms “safety person” and “date” — not the fact she was transgender. He noted Schening was a longtime vice detective.

“Those were phrases he associated with sex work (based on) his policing experience,” Cranna said. “That association was wrong. But our position is he was wrong not because he had discriminatory views of trans women.”

This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.

Cranna also defended EPS’s steps to address the incident, including requiring Davis and Schening to meet with their supervisors and take bias awareness and inclusive language training.

“The fact is that these examples of misgendering were inadvertent, and they were slips that members apologized for in the course of the phone calls that they occurred in,” Cranna said.

The tribunal will deliver its decision in writing at a later date.
