Fasken and the Fasken Pride Network are pleased to present a conversation with Egale Canada on the rights of trans and gender diverse youth.
2SLGBTQ+ rights, particularly of trans and gender diverse youth, have come under unprecedented attack in recent years by a wave of hate, and discriminatory policies in Canada and the United States.
Please join us in this discussion with Egale, Canada’s leading organization for 2SLGBTQ+ people and issues.
Attendees can expect the discussion to include:
- Realities and lived experiences of individuals and youth who identify as trans or gender non-binary
- Recent policies limiting 2SLGBTQ+ rights in Alberta, Saskatchewan, and New Brunswick, including:
- restrictions on use of pronouns and sexual education in schools without parental notification and consent; and
- restrictions on youth access to gender-affirming care
- Egale’s precedent-setting legal challenges against anti-trans policies
- Strategies for allyship, inclusion, and positive changes in schools, workplaces, and the legal system
This session promises to be one in an important ongoing dialogue held each year by the Fasken Pride Network on 2SLGBTQ+ advancement and inclusion.
