Nova Scotia has highest percentage of citizens who identify as trans and non-binary of all of the provinces and territories. Statistics Canada also says Halifax is the second-most gender-diverse city in the country behind Victoria. This week, the Standing Committee on Health brought the issue of Gender Affirming Care to the Legislature discussion. And there are lots of reasons for all of us to better educate ourselves on the issues and challenges the community is facing. Mikaela Gorman is a trans-woman who is very open about her experiences. And she takes some time to discuss some of the terminology and language being used as well as her own transition in this conversation.
