Anti-trans activism

Kurliva is part of the LGB separatist movement. In 2024, Kurilova told conservative Canadian publication True North:
âIâm a very gender non-conforming person, and I was that way as a child⊠I was a tomboy,â she said. âI really really worry and fear that if I was a child today, I would be a prime candidate for transition, for teachers and counsellors and doctors to tell me, âyou know you can be a boy.â Thatâs kind of why I have a very strong personal investment in these issues, and why I want to help protect kids.â
