For those of you who do not watch ‘Degrassi’, it is a show about what it is like to be a real kid in a Canadian high school.  The actors chosen to play the roles are the same ages as the characters they play, not pimple-free 20 somethings that you would see in shows like [...]

I’m a big fan of all things detailed, so when this link was forwarded to me, I admit, I did a little bit of a geeky happy dance. If you’re a trans guy, or someone looking for information and resources about all things FtM (female to male), check the site out!

Trans rights activists and their allies are joining together with the Ontario NDP Party to table a Private Members Bill in the Provincial Legislature to amend the Ontario Human Rights Code to [...]

Another gem in my internet wanderings: a binding step by step guide (from the good folks at ehow.com). So for my trans and gender queer lovelies out there (or anyone who’d like to know how it’s done), this is a great guide with links to where to order a binder online (and alternatives if ordering [...]

This is why I love the internet. www.safe2pee.org is an international, interactive listing of gender neutral bathrooms. Lots of Canadian cities are listed and you can add places that you know of too! Yay for user generated content!
