The Toronto Trans Coalition Project is a partnership of trans advocacy/support groups in Toronto, focused on improving access for the GTA trans and nonbinary community to the Social Determinants of Health (housing, employment, healthcare, community,..). Our current focus is employment.

During the coming months, we will be conducting a GTA-wide survey on employment barriers within the Two-Spirit, trans and nonbinary community to get a deeper understanding of the experiences that Two-Spirit, trans and nonbinary people have had during their employment and during employment searches. This research was made possible by Women and Gender Equality Canada.

We're looking to get input from the following categories of people:

Self identify as a Two-Spirit, trans and/or nonbinary person between the ages of 13-17
Self-identify as a Two-Spirit, trans and/or nonbinary person who is 18+
Are 18+ and have youth in your family under your care who are Two-Spirit, trans and/or nonbinary (13-17)
Are an employer (any gender identity)

All responses will remain strictly anonymous. We will not be able to trace individual responses back to you.

There are many parents/caregivers of trans youth, trans youth and trans adults in the TorontoPflagfamily. Please give us the value of your experiences.

The deadline to complete this survey isAugust 31st, 2021and the final report with findings will be released December 2021 which we will be sharing publicly. Along with an analysis of the responses and answers that we receive from all of you, we will be providing suggestions for next steps that can be helpful to both employees and employers.
