But they got my birthplace wrong? It says Ontario, but I was born in British Columbia. And I will need to request a new birth certificate from BC right? So weird, my OG birth certificate was clearly from BC..?

I hate that this celebratory moment is damped by this mistake… what should I do?

What can I do? I ran out of T Gel and my pharmacy told me my doc needs to refill it, but he’s not responding to me.

He always does this stuff where sometimes he doesn’t respond up to a month!

Can I call my family doctor and ask them to refill it using the prescription (I have the pdf of it)

Hey all, I got my name & gender marker legally changed back in Dec 2024 (or that’s when I received the certificates & stuff in the mail), but I realized that even though I checked off I wanted my original birth certificate back, they did not return it.

I didn’t think it would impact me this much, or at all, and my mom was honestly pretty sad too which I feel like is more understandable from her end.

It just sucks, cause I know it’s gone for good. Just wanted to give a heads up to people too

Wondering if anyone here has help/info on gender change forms after name change.

I've did my legal name change a few years ago, and due to upcoming SRS I figure I should legally change my gender for my own rights and safety.

The application for a change of sex designation form says I also have to file a request for birth certificate form.

¿||On the request for birth certificate form, do I list my current legal sex or the legal sex I am applying for?||?

very confused thanks sm

Hey there--I've currently been on the waiting list for top surgery for 23.5 months (without a consultation). The time for the list keeps getting extended: originally I was told a year, then 18 months, then 24...

I'm extremely, extremely grateful that I have access to the surgery and that it will be funded by OHIP, but lately I've been having a hard time with the waiting, especially now that summer is coming around again. I got through last summer by telling myself that it would be my last without top surgery, but it looks like that's not going to be the case. Anyway, I'm just wondering if anyone has any advice or tips for how to deal with the waiting and uncertainty. Thanks!

Hi there!!! I’m a bi male. I’m new to the community and I’m looking for new friends to talk to! I’m in the Kitchener Waterloo area

Hi everyone!!!

Throughout my childhood I have not been able to maintain friends due to my socially awkward nature. Nowadays as a 21 yr old adult, it is even more difficult because of my interests being into computer science, video games, and anime.

The reason why I post this here is because being transgender has made it difficult to make friends due to discrimination/dissociation so this relates more so to transgender discussions and seeking safe spaces.

Is there any place in Ottawa where I can find a group of adult friends preferably into technology/games/animation?

I should be getting my name+sex change back from the registrar's office in the next couple of weeks.

One of the many things that will need to be updated is my British passport. I inherited British citizenship from my father, and he handled getting my passport the first time. I'm not exactly sure what the process is to update this because their website is not clear on this circumstance. Do I have to make a fresh application as if I never had one? Do I have to go through the GRC process? Secret third option with even more arcane bureaucratic hell?

Asking here first in case someone has dealt with this before but I will go ask one of the UK subs later if not.

Hi, so im looking into changing my legal gender soon, and i have a few questions about how that will work.

I have canadian drivers license, health card, and visa, but my passport is from the UK. I also dont have PR (yet), but ive lived in Ontario for many years.

Ive been researching how to change my gender on my UK passport, but its confusing me since they require a “gender recognition certificate”, which does not exist in Canada (as far as im aware, correct me if im wrong)

It got me wondering, can i change the gender on my Canadian documents (drivers license, visa, etc) through the Canadian process, while my passport is still registered as my birth sex. If this is possible, would that simplify changing my passport, since i could just show proof of my gender through my updated Canadian documents?

Any clarification will do, i wonder if anyone else has wondered this

Hello everyone, my son is 10 years old and we are seeking to connect with other trans friends and families. We live in Welland and moved to the region just recently from the states. He enjoys art, anime and manga, music and writing. We would love to meet up, he's a bit lonely at school!

My family doctor is nagging me to get one done and I’ve been dreading it my entire life lol. But I also don’t wanna risking getting cancer or something so maybe it’s something I should get done :( I just feel weird having my family doctor doing it

Are there any walk-in places that do pap smears for trans men? Ideally as low barrier as possible, I just want to go in and leave asap but obviously that may not be possible.

Thank you.

I live in deep southern rural Ontario. I get harassed so often just for being myself. I started a new part time job, I've only had 3 shifts, and I've been called slurs from people driving by, or made fun of when people walk by each time I walked home.

 

Yesterday on my way home two guys sitting on a bench freaked out when I passed them, made a huge scene and raised their voices, called me the t slur and threw a bottle of water at me

 

I have a disability and can't drive, but I don't feel safe walking around town. I tried calling the only taxi in town once, they pulled up to me and said they don't drive tslurs before speeding off

 

I can't afford to move and I dont know anyone who needs roommates.. I tried going back in the closet for a month, and while it was safer, it made me very dysphoric. I dress my age, I don't overdo my makeup, I've had laser, I've done voice training. I try to blend in, but despite that it's always been like Ive had a massive target on my back in this town since I started transitioning 2 years ago.

 

I just don't know what to do.

Hello friends, I just wanted to ask for those people who had vaginoplasty surgery with Dr. Yonah Krakowsky of WCH. How’s your post op experience? If ever you have some questions regarding recovery can you easily reach Dr. Krakowsky? How is it visually? Are you guys satisfied and happy with the visual outcome of your vaginoplasty? I just want to know your overall experience with Dr. Krakowsky and the whole team of WCH. If you guys are shy to share it publicly you can send me a private message

I am wondering would it complicate things also if I apply for jobs in the future with a CV in my new name instead of my legal name?

Also legal stuffs, bank, taxes,......etc.

If you applied for a name change you will be shown in the ontario Gazette what your previous name was to your name now unless you submit a non publication form with your name change

I’m currently in Sick Kids and at the point of handing in funding approval forms in June. I’m 16 years old with a gender dysphoria diagnosis and 2 really great physicians (along with a big support team, medical and otherwise). I’m aware contouring is out of pocket.

I’m looking at Dr. Bryan Chung in Toronto. Info online says he sometimes does under 18 but not always. Does anyone know what the parameters for that age limit is?

Hey all! For anyone that goes to Sherbourne health I want to just let y’all know that in the coming weeks there’s going to be free massage therapy services specifically for trans affirming care.
It’s with my school Sutherland Chan, we’re student massage therapists and we have an offsite clinic there for trans folks receiving care.
In case you’re wondering, massage therapy can help with:
-minimizing appearance of scars/ immobility of scars from gender affirming surgery
-relieving symptoms from binding
-treat postural impairments from binding, surgeries, etc.
-mental health support, calm the nervous system
-reconnecting with your body or supporting overall feelings of connectedness
-we can also assess (not diagnose) various conditions to help narrow down causes for aches and pains

We will be there every Tuesday from May 26th- July 23rd!
