How to be a better ally on International Trans Day of Visibility
KAMLOOPS — March 31 is International Trans Day of Visibility. It’s an opportunity to celebrate transgender rights and inform folks about gender identity, as well the discrimination trans people face throughout the world.
CFJC Today spoke with two members of the Kamloops Pride board this week, about what it means to be trans or gender fluid, and how people can be good allies to the trans folx in their life.
A Stats Canada survey conducted in 2018 found that around 0.24 percent of Canadians identified as transgender. That’s around 75,000 Canadians, a significant number.
