Aaron Davor says that the potential American attendees are hesitating to cross the border – not because of what might happen when they enter Canada, but what can happen when they try to return to the United States.
He says that the American administration of President Donald Trump sent the cold through the transit community in January by executive order that the federal government recognizes the sexes, males and females, cannot change and “a biological classification is not subject to change” from pregnancy.

Davor says that the history conference throughout two years, which begins on Thursday, was hoping to obtain 500 participants on the basis of previous events, but only about 300 are expected now.
“The teams are almost completely attributed until the Americans are afraid of leaving their country,” said Davor, a founder and conference host.
Trump's CEO says that all the identity issued by the government, including passports and visas, should “accurately reflect the sex of a pregnant woman.”
The US State Department said it will stop issuing travel documents with the “X” mark between the sexes preferred by many unusual people, and will only issue passports with a “M” or “F” sexual brand, which corresponds to the “biological sex” of a person at birth.
“What I see has changed in the light of the Trump administration and the measures taken by the Trump administration is that people over the United States are very concerned about crossing to Canada to come to the conference because they must return to the United States,” said Davor.

The university says that the conference, which works until Sunday, includes activists, academics and artists from all over the world, with more than 100 guests.
The organizers say that the event addresses “our history and the decisive issues that affect us today and in the future – locally, nationally and globally.”
He is scheduled to be a speaker in the field of transgender studies at the University of Victoria, American charitable charitable Jennifer Pritzker, who presented a basic gift to help start a chair in sexually transformed studies at Victoria University.
Immigration lawyer Adrian Smith, who was invited as a team spokesman at the conference, said that the Trump administration has published wrong information and translatopia, which leaves the members of the transient community to feel insecure.
“And I think it is important to note that the transgender people have always been afraid. We have always lived under the danger, but this danger is much greater and much closer now,” Smith said.

The conference applied to allow the video to attend this year for the first time.
The first conference to transfer history was held forward at the university in 2014 with about 100 activists and researchers attending this event.
Davor said that the context of this year's conference had turned, with “a lot of anti -craving and organization.”
“We are facing the head of the most powerful country in the world, who are trying to pretend that the transformed people are not present at all, and is doing its best to erase any evidence of the presence of the converted people,” Davor said.
Smith, the director of litigation at the Catherine White Holman Al -Afia Center, said that their office is drowned in immigration requests from transit people who hope to leave the United States and reach Canada.
But Smith said that there are a few immigration paths available to them.
She said that the Trump administration wanted to fear people crossing and withdrawing from public life.
Smith said: “We will not go to important things like a conference we can talk about research and human rights, and we do not collect us, and we do not know us wherever it is, and we really separate our society.”
“It is intended while working.”
