Welcome to Trans Canada Stories!
It's a podcast dedicated to cutting through the headlines and clickbait to tell real stories about real trans people living in Canada today.
"This show isn't going to be a bunch of inspiration porn about people having terrible lives and overcoming challenges..."This is a place to celebrate trans joy and the successes (big and small) which inspire it. We'll desensationalize the stories of trans people to tell honest accounts of the trans experience. We want to provide role models and heroes for the community to look up to and admire, while helping to foster the development and strengthening of trans communities across Canada.

PILOT: "Don't Worry, You're Going to Be Okay."
Welcome to Trans Canada Stories!
Meet Emma (she/her) and Cyn (she/her) as Emma shares her transitioning story, and the two talk about the importance of access to 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.
