Welcome to Trans Canada Stories!
In this episode, hosts Emma (she/her) and Cynthia (she/her) talk about the reason behind this podcast, and how they came to know each other. The two also have a conversation on the subject of transitioning as a process, the importance of being able to access gender affirming care, and the role of the queer community as a support resource.
Emma shares a beautiful story about her own transition, recalling how the experience drew her closer to not only her community, but to her mother as well.
Later in the show, Emma and Cyn speak with Felix Vandergrift (He/Him). Felix is a researcher and works in governmental relations. He is an active advocate for TGNB rights, access to gender affirming healthcare, supporting 2SLGBTQIA+ youth, harm reduction and human rights.
Felix recently underwent top surgery in Dartmouth thanks to the plastics team at the QEII and is continuing to push for more access to better gender affirming care for all TGNB folks in the province.

From The Podcast
Trans Canada Stories
When you turn on the news and tune into a story about trans people today, there is a whole lot of drama, misinformation, and conspiracy to cut through. On Trans Canada Stories, we want to hear the real life stories of trans Canadians (and allies) to set the record straight. Most trans people live normal lives filled with the same routines that anyone else might experience: grocery shopping, paying taxes, walking their dog, and so on. It's time to hear their stories. Trans Canada Stories wants to celebrate the successes, big or small, of the Canadian trans community from coast to coast to coast. We’ll hear about the changes they’re making in the world, as well as the ones they’re trying to make in their personal lives. These are real, honest stories of the trans experience and the many nuances within, but also the stories of people who, like everyone else, are just trying to find their place in the world.Join Podchaser to...
