Queer Horizons Speaker Series • Past, Present and Future:
The Evolution of Trans and Gender Diverse People’s Rights in Canada
March 14, 2024 | 5:00 p.m. – 6:00 p.m. | Roundhouse | Allard Hall
Learn about Trans and gender-diverse people in a historical context with a focus on the evolution of discussions and debates about human rights. ASL provided.

The landscape for Trans and gender-diverse people has evolved and changed in numerous ways over the years. There is a rich and oftentimes little-known understanding of and knowledge about the history of Trans and gender-diverse people.

Though an emerging dialogue, there is little discussion about how that history can inform the struggles and challenges faced by Trans and gender-diverse people today. Currently, there is a discussion about a gender revolution happening in Canada, where a number of provinces have published statements affirming the need to improve health care for Trans and gender-diverse people. However, simultaneously, six provinces have passed anti-trans and gender-diverse legislation, specifically focusing on restricting gender-affirming care and education for youth.

The goal of this presentation will be to put current discussions and debates about Trans and gender-diverse people in a historical context with a focus on the evolution of the discussions and debates about trans and gender-diverse human rights. Through situating these debates in a historical context, the presenter will provide recommendations for future directions.

ASL provided.
