About This Study:
Stigma and Resilience Among Vulnerable Youth Centre
Over the past several years, there has been growing acceptance throughout Canada that a person’s gender does not always match their sex assigned at birth. Gender is complex, multifaceted, and does not easily fit into boxes. People identify with many terms— transgender, non-binary, Two Spirit, agender, genderfluid, genderqueer, female/girl, and male/boy—to name a few. For this report, we have decided to use trans and/or non-binary to describe the gender of youth who took the survey. We realize that these terms do not correctly capture all the identities reported by youth in this study, but are currently the most inclusive.
