CANADALAND

Over the past couple of years, a few Canadian media outlets and writers have become obsessed with trans people, painting their campaign for human rights as a menace to society. This coverage has hit a peak with the story of Jessica Yaniv, a trans woman who’s taking multiple beauticians to the B.C. Human Rights Tribunal after they refused to wax to her genitals. Where did this obsession come from? And why has this particular story taken off?

Featuring journalist Mary Rogan.

Read "Growing Up Trans" by Mary Rogan in The Walrus.

Watch Mary debate Jordan Peterson on TVO's The Agenda.
