Trans Pulse Canada Research

Over a 10-week period in 2019, the Trans PULSE Canada research team collected survey data from 2,873 trans and non-binary people aged 14 years or older and living in Canada. Participants were able to complete the full survey, or a 10-minute short form containing key items, in English or French online, on paper, via telephone (with or without a language interpreter), or on a tablet with a Peer Research Associate in major cities.

Data from respondents who completed the full survey has been weighted to more accurately represent those who completed the short form. The Trans PULSE Canada survey included questions from the Ontario’s Trans PULSE project, questions from Statistics Canada surveys to allow for comparisons to the general population, and questions developed by trans, and non-binary people based on community priorities.

Snapshot of Findings:

Among racialized trans and non-binary respondents:

  • 72% had experienced verbal harassment in the past 5 years
  • 45% had ever been harassed at work or school
  • 73% worried about being stopped or harassed by police or security because of who they are

Context:

Transgender (trans) and non-binary people in Canada are a population that experiences discrimination and challenges in accessing health care. To date, there has been no all-ages data on the health and well-being of racialized trans and non-binary people in Canada.

Both general population data in Canada, and trans-specific data from the United States has found that racialized populations were more likely to be living in low-income households, and to have experienced discrimination, among other inequalities.

In 2009-2010, Ontario’s Trans PULSE Project found that three quarters of racialized trans people had experienced racism or ethnicity related discrimination, and one quarter had been harassed by police because of their race or ethnicity.

This report expands on the Ontario data to provide a national snapshot of socio-demographics, health, access to health care, and experiences of discrimination among racialized trans and non-binary people.
