The Supreme Court of Canada is seen in Ottawa, on Monday, Nov. 28, 2022. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Sean KilpatrickA new study says Canada's justice system features "significant and pervasive" barriers for transgender people who encounter legal issues.
The study is based on interviews with 182 transgender people who were surveyed over the course of three years. More than 90 per cent of of the survey participants said they found the legal system served non-transgender people better than transgender people. The study found that people are often hesitant to interact with the justice system because of previous negative experiences or fears that they may be misgendered or disrespected in a public space.
