This toolkit provides constructive and tangible steps on how to implement anti-discrimination policies around gender identity and gender expression, as well as strategies and suggestions on creating affirming spaces for people who identify as trans and gender non-conforming. This toolkit was created with input from the Ontario Human Rights Commission (OHRC) and through extensive feedback from the Toronto, Canada trans communities. The project is intended to update the Trans Inclusion Policy and Procedure Toolkit created by The 519 in 2011. It should be read alongside the OHRC’s Policy on preventing discrimination because of gender identity and gender expression.
