Ontario transgender resources

In addition to national and federal Canada transgender resources, below are options for provincial trans resources in Ontario.

For 50 years, Ontario was the global epicentre of the pathologization of sex and gender minorities due to staff, policies, and protocols at CAMH. When they modernized in 2016, wait times dropped dramatically, and the province now has a number of excellent healthcare options for our community.
