The trans rights trial & gender identity in Canadian prisons


Listen Later

Julie Michaud of the Centre for Gender Advocacy speaks about the trial in Québec's Superior Court which is seeking to dismantle the immense barriers for trans & non-binary adults, non-citizens & children to change or remove the gender marker from IDs.
We discuss the gender identity rights bill, Bill C-16, with transfeminine activist and LLM candidate Florence Ashley.
A federal prison policy introduced last year has allowed transgender inmates to be housed according to their self-identified gender for the very first time. What have these changes meant for trans prisoners in Canada? We speak with Jennifer Metcalfe, Executive Director of Prisoners’ Legal Services, a project of the West Coast Prison Justice Society.
Music by Skylar Kergil, Be Steadwell, and Rae Spoon.
