It’s impossible to define any person with just one word. But, for many trans people that’s their reality. Too often, they’redefined only by their transness,and not by the countless other things that make up who they are. If more people took the time to look closer, they’d see human beings with hopes and dreams and unique stories to tell. People with good days and bad days. Athletes. Musicians. Performers.
This Pride season, Egale is launching a new campaign to reach the 67% of Canadians who do not have any trans people in their life.1
Amid the ongoing rise in anti-2SLGBTQI hate, trans and gender diverse people are facing the brunt of the hateful vitriol that is being fuelled by misinformation and disinformation. Egale is working to combat this by encouraging everyone to see the person. Not the label.
