Findings from the TransPulse project have been incorporated into my class on transgender men’s health as part of the Masculinities and Health course at the University of Lethbridge, and will also be included as a core element in my guest lectures on gender and health moving forward.

I include your data in the trainings I do in k-12 education to support affirming schools for trans and gender-fluid students
As a student currently completing my MSW, I am doing many assignments about the oppression of, and injustices faced by people who identify as non-cisgendered in attempt to raise awareness among my social work peers. As our census data does not include any information other than demographics on “males” and “females”, and almost all of the academic research comes from the US, Trans PULSE is my go to reference for Canadian information in regard to the many populations of people who identify as transgender.
We use your data all the time in our presentations. Our program Prism Services, which is part of Vancouver Coastal Health, is an education, information and referral program focused on LGBT2Q+ health and wellness. We do a lot of cultural competency training for healthcare and social service providers, as well as students, service users and community members. As much of our training is targeted on trans* inclusion, we cite the Trans Pulse Project a lot; it’s great to have the data to back up our teaching. Thanks!
I have used your data at my former job–working to make schools safer in the U.S. state of Illinois, in providing training to school personnel, and in my current job working to make juvenile locked facilities (jails and detention centers) safe for LGB/T youth, youth of color, and youth with disabilities.
