Support the Gender Affirming Health Care Act
Toronto Centre MPP Kristyn Wong-Tam tabled the “Gender Affirming Health Care Advisory Committee Act” on November 16. If passed, an advisory committee will provide the Ontario government with recommendations to improve provincial gender-affirming health care. Rainbow Health Ontario, along with other 2SLGBTQ health care providers, informed the bill’s drafting. Supporters of the Gender Affirming Health Care Act can visit Kristyn Wong-Tam’s website for a list of campaign actions.
This bill comes at a time when the barriers to access and coverage for trans and non-binary Ontarians are especially visible. As of December 1, Ontario’s virtual trans health care provider Connect-Clinic has closed due to funding changes by the Ministry of Health. Those in support of Connect-Clinic can sign the petition calling on the government to protect virtual health care access.
