If you are from Windsor Ontario in Canada, we NEED your help desperately!!!
TransPulse is a provincial transgender group comprised of people from all walks of life across the province. TransPulse is conducting a scientific survey in conjunction with social, health and legal groups with the cooperation and assistance of several major Ontario universities. This survey is to put scientific data to what we already know; we are being discriminated against in all areas of life.
Some of the preliminary data has been gathered and we have seen a glaring hole in responses from Windsor. We know there are no organizations for trans people (at least that we are aware of) and even for a CD to attend a Tri Ess meeting, they have to cross the border into Detroit which as we all know is not a safe trip today. Even a night enfemme often means a trip to London, Kitchener, Hamilton or Toronto. We know you are there and we know you are buried due to the testosterone fueled atmosphere of Windsor. We have even seen a couple of you at trans meetings in London. Still, we need your input to give the survey a truly provincial representation.
For more information about the survey, go to http://transpulse.ca. You can actually read more about the survey and even view it online. This is critical to our well being as a community and the results can and will be used to pressure for change.
Please contact me through http://transgenderlondon.com so I can make arrangements for you to fill out this survey. Please use your personal email, not an address through any website. Your privacy is protected absolutely. If you have doubts about me personally, contact Gypsy Karen or Sharon or Tamara who will vouch for me.
The TransPulse provincial coordinator is aware of the problems in Windsor and is willing to work so that the city is properly represented. Time is running out on this phase of the project so we need people to act quickly.
Special thanks to Gypsy Karen, Sharon and Tamara for their assistance by making this post sticky.
Huggs to one and all,
Kim
