Advocate calls for supportive policy and funding ahead of Transgender Day of Visibility
As B.C. prepares to mark Transgender Day of Visibility on Friday , an advocate says visibility is a necessary but meaningful policy work is integral for genuine inclusion.
“I want politicians to see me and then talk to me about what kinds of policies and funding structures would make for a more equitable society,” they told Black Press Media outside the provincial legislature on Thursday. DeForge issued these appeals among others during the raising of the transgender flag. Roughly 150 people attended, including Aaron Devore, Chair in Transgender at the University of Victoria, as well Parliamentary Secretary for Gender Equity Kelli Paddon and Deputy Speaker Spencer Chandra Herbert.
