Trans PULSE Update

The following is a report prepared for the Ministry of Health and Long-term Care

August 27, 2010

Thank you for the positive responses to our first e-bulletin! We’re working away on the next several bulletins, so keep an eye out for them over the next several months.

The attached report represents other work we’ve been doing that we wanted to share with you all. We hope that these results are useful to you, either personally or in your work. The report was prepared for Ontario’s Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care and is intended to provide information from Trans PULSE Project data to inform health systems planning with regard to sex reassignment surgeries covered under the Ontario Health Insurance Program (OHIP).

Also, to keep you updated on other project activities, preliminary results from the survey on housing, employment and discrimination were recently shared with the Ontario Attorney General’s office at a meeting regarding the addition of gender identity and expression to the Ontario Human Rights Code.

If you have any questions or comments regarding the attached document or any other project news, please don’t hesitate to email us directly at info@transpulse.ca. And if you were forwarded this email or received it through a separate listserv and wish to be added to our mailing list, please send an email to info@transpulse.ca with the phrase “subscribe mailing list” in the subject line.
