For #TransDayOfVisibility, we honour the achievements of Two-Spirited, trans, and non-binary people. As we celebrate their progress in the fight for trans human rights and equity, we also remember that there are still barriers for us to break down together. This is why we’re continuing our efforts to support LGBTQ2S+ communities and extending our partnership with The 519 this year. We’re proud to be donating devices to this organization in support of the Kyle Scanlon Me...morial Fund, which provides funding to community programs and initiatives that focus on bettering the lives of trans communities. Head to our stories to learn more about The 519 and how the fund helps trans communities. Plus, along with their team, we’ve put together a selection of films and documentaries to watch to discover inspiring trans people and their journeys. Check it out! #ConnectToAccept

Chez Fido, on s’élève contre toute forme de préjugé. On soutient la communauté asiatique dans son combat pour la justice, pour l’équité et pour que nous puissions tous vivre dans un monde dépourvu de violence. Nous devons tous travailler ensemble afin que la diversité devienne la norme et pour nous assurer que le racisme n’ait plus aucune place où se ranger. On connecte. On accepte. #AntiRacismeAsiatique

During Transgender Awareness Week, let’s think about what we can do to be more inclusive as a society. Discover the story of Mona Lisa, who’s involved with The 519. She left her native country for Canada in the hopes of finding a home where she feels safe and accepted. Now I feel that I have been born again! I have found a country where everyone is accepted for who they are. I am so happy that I came to Canada and I really love my new life in Toronto. I have been doin...g volunteer work and I really love helping people who need support. My interaction with The 519 has shown me that helping others is also helping myself.

Transgender Awareness Week is also an opportunity to get informed and be an ally. We can all learn from what Cynthia, a member of the @pflagcanada community, has to say about being a mother and an ally. I am the parent of a young trans person, and, as a parent, I play an important role as a supportive and loving caregiver by helping them bridge communication around their transition. And I educate those around [them] as much as possible, so [they don’t] have to do [it]....

Transgender Awareness Week is a time to talk about issues the trans community face every day. Thanks to PFLAG Canada, we’re sharing Jake’s story to shine a light on some of these issues. [A]s a person who identifies as trans and in the work I do to support the trans community, there is this overwhelming and ongoing feeling that being trans is something to be fixed. We are told that our existence is not real nor valid. Check out our stories to learn more about PFL...AG Canada. #GoGetProud #TransgenderAwarenessWeek Illustration by Geneviève Darling

During Transgender Awareness Week, we’re honouring people who live life as their authentic self. Thanks to Qmunity, discover Boots’ story and how they see their transition as a process of self-discovery that will never end. Will I ever find my ‘true’ self? I have not experienced an ugly-duckling-to-graceful-swan moment but many small, private moments of joy: the first time I wore a beard and stroked my whiskers or when my father told me I looked great on testosterone.... These moments allow me to trust my gut and my choices and my journey with no ‘true’ destination.
