We're expecting a decision soon. In the meantime, she is well, she is cracking

wise, and being unbelievably strong. She can't wait to tweet.

Between the media, the amazing politicians who have inquired into the situation,

and the lawyer, Avery's situation has got to the right ppl.



This is RahRah, Avery's partner. I'll be posting updates from here until she is

released.


Avery Edison @aedison · 16h

Okay, my ride's here.



Please keep Toronto Airport customs/immigration officials in your thoughts, as

this is apparently their first time meeting a trans person.



Shout out to the immigration inspector who smiled and said "have a great time!"

as she handed me my marked-up customs form 11 hours ago.



I'm so incredibly grateful for everyone's support. I'm alternating between furious

and unable-to-stop-crying. Your messages are amazing.



Phone SIM is UK, so I will not have data once I leave the airport.

They for real keep leaving me alone with my phone + airport wifi. What do you

think I'm doing tapping away, dummies?



I have a right to counsel at my hearing (yet to be scheduled) but not sure if

before then. G/f will be figuring things out tomorrow.



The actual jail I'm headed to in a few minutes.

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maplehurs…



Literally going to jail. Actual jail. Because they don't know what to do about my

junk.



Change of plan AGAIN. Will be moved, soon, to Maplehurst correctional facility

and assessed by a nurse before placed in male or female cell.



@suckingalemon I don't know what I need to know :S Will have a better idea

tomorrow. Thanks for reaching out.

This morning I thought I'd be able to see my kitties. Now I'm trying not to cry as I

sleep on an airport floor and await detention.



By the way, they've taken my passport from me, of course. That was a super

cool part of being read my rights.



Like, c'mon guys, maybe take a break from misgendering me, and search my

name and realize I'm telling everyone how awful you are.



The fact that I haven't been approached by officers about these tweets is a

stunning indictment of their lack of Google-fu.



I took a photo of the cool bed I made on the floor from assorted clothes from my

luggage, but airport wifi won't tweet it. :( :( :(



And because I would like to fight this, because this is wrong. Yes, I messed up,

but my treatment has been deplorable.



I want to go to the detention centre so I can get visiting hours with the two

people who waited in arrivals for me all day.

I can leave tonight/tomorrow, if a friend buys me a ticket on a different airline (as

AirTransat don't fly 'til Thursday), BUT



My ticket home was a non-refundable for March 3rd. Thought non-refund would

help prove my intent to leave.



In the meantime, I will sleep here, in the waiting/interview area. Bedding down in

a nook by the vending machine (power outlet).



Whoa! Last minute change of plan - I will be taken to a women's detention

centre in Milton. TOMORROW.



Security is here for me. See you all soon!



The followers I get tonight are gonna be disappointed when I go back to jokes all

the time instead of being arrested -sorry- "detained".



Ugh this is ruining my happy-go-lucky brand.



Ugh this is taking too long I just wanna get in my cell and cry in private.



Just offered food for first time since 3pm EST. Tim Hortons, because they have

a gift card.



FWIW, I asked to be sent home, but that is apparently not possible. So.



Congrats to Canada for topping the awful experience I had with US customs

asking me about "all your surgeries".



In case anybody is mistaken - I was NOT denied entry because I'm trans. I am

not a credible visitor for reasons besides gender.



@thevitaes Not what's happening. Trans stuff is just cherry on top.



Hoping 96% of my followers are immigration lawyers wanting to work pro-bono

on a super cool transgender case.

Mostly I'm just hoping I can keep my iPad with me so I can read Achewood in my

cell/fancy hotel room with sink.



Feel free to retweet/spread the word. With the proviso that this isn't the end of

the world - I'm white, speak English, I'll be pretty okay.



Initial interviewing officer is telling another about my depression, keeps switching

he/she. MY PASSPORT IS FEMALE.



Sorry for tweeting too much. Hopefully don't get put in Twitter jail as well as

immigration jail.



And just to be clear, the customs official clarified on the phone that “wet cell

approval should be on the way; it’s for sex.”



Apparently a “wet cell” is one with toilet and sink. The luxury! Finally something

good about being a potential target for sex attacks.



This should all make for some good stand-up, eh?



“Wet cell” is a fantastic term, by the way. Really let’s the imagination run wild.



“I have one male for pick-up, and it’s for a wet cell.” - Officer talking to detention

centre about me on the phone.



If anyone needs to get info to me once I’m offline, @rahrahtempleton will be

visiting me.



This, of course, is still fairly tame. I’ve seen ESL people HUMILIATED today, and

I’m sure I’ll see worse in the detention centre.



Honestly surprised they haven’t stopped me tweeting. Still in the airport, where

there is free wifi. Typing in full view. Credit to them?



I shouldn’t have to worry too much about attacks, apparently, because there are

guards. But it’s not jail, it’s “like a hotel”.



Waiting to be transferred. There is a TV room, apparently, and also “plenty of






























https://twitter.com/rahrahtempleton















families”.



Received word I may be kept in solitary because I am pre-operative MTF.

Predictable, but still fucking terrifying.



Pretty sure there won’t be internet in detention. Will try to keep you all updated. I

love you all, thank you so much.



My case is being referred to a hearing. I am being taken to an immigration

detention centre. Just been read rights. In washroom crying.



This is a very large immigration waiting/processing room. Others have come and

gone. I have lasted longest. In many ways, I am a queen.



This is 100% my fault, but it still sucks. I feel so helpless and trapped.



and the lease for my place in the UK. I wanted to be here for three weeks to see

g/f, cars, friends, and pick up things I left behind.



For those asking - I overstayed my student visa last time I was here. Which is

why I came today with a non-refundable return flight (1/2)



In addition to being merely inconvenient, this is a humiliating experience that

makes me feel like a criminal. Very dark thoughts ATM.



Been stuck here in customs limbo for six hours now. Almost definitely getting

sent home. For real, if anyone has any pull.



@McCormCorp I am being detained. I am going to be deemed inadmissable. But

first they’re making me wait, and going through all my stuff.



Customs guy violated my privacy by searching through my phone. And even

worse, he lost my place in Twitter.


Avery Edison @aedison · Feb 10

So if I’m friends with the Prime Minister without realizing, now would be a great

time for him to pull some strings.



So I think I’m in the process of getting denied entry at Toronto airport. So. That’s

happening.

What idiot called it "Climate Change" instead of "Bye Polar Disorder"?


Avery Edison @aedison · Jan 20

I’ve been told that I’m brave to be out as trans. But others have to live with the

fear of being outed. To me, that’s some true bravery.



Aladdin taking Jasmine on a magic carpet ride to show her an aerial view of the

aftermath of recent drone attacks.



Why is it that I’ve been able to forgive bullies who made high school hell for me,

but I stay angry at an internet guy who makes a bad joke?



"The waiter had heard of me, so I was able to, ahem, maneuver us into a table."

"Give it a rest, would you, Heimlich?"



Next season is going to be American Horror Story: Schrödinger's Cat, so that

every character can be dead and alive at the same time.



Whenever someone's excited about buying a product with Bitcoin, I want to say,

"wait until you see how much you can get with REAL money!"



Nervous about my anxiety support group's game night. We're gonna play

Second-Guess Who.



Sick of these PEANUTS-obsessed teens knocking me over in the street to give

me a Brown Charlie.



"Some days I think I should stop mackling." "No dude, if anything you should

mackle MORE!" - How that happened.



The only possible explanation for how much time I spend in bed is that I am a

sleeper agent in need of an agency.
