CMHA Supports International Transgender Day of Visibility

On March 31, CMHA Champlain East celebrates International Transgender Day of Visibility, an event recognizing the resilience and accomplishments of the transgender community.

A transgender person is someone whose gender identity is different from the gender they were assigned at birth. CMHA Champlain East stands with our transgender community and acknowledges the discrimination and obstacles they still encounter in society. In fact, World Health Organization stopped designating "transsexualism" as a mental disorder only four years ago.  Transgender people are present across all age groups, with a significant proportion being young adults who often face challenges in accessing appropriate healthcare services, including hormone therapy and gender-affirming surgeries.
