Provider affirmations

Every provider listed in the LANTRN directory affirms the following statements.

  1. I affirm that there is nothing wrong with being trans, non-binary, or gender expansive and recognize gender diversity as a valid and natural part of human experience. I am committed to providing legal services that are inclusive, respectful, and affirming of transgender and gender-expansive individuals and families.
  2. I acknowledge that transgender and gender expansive people, including parents, youth, partners, and families, have unique and individual legal needs. I am committed to not making assumptions about a person's identity, relationships, family structure, or goals. I approach each matter with dignity, respect, and client autonomy.
  3. I believe that transgender and gender expansive people have the right to bodily autonomy, safety, family recognition, healthcare access, and equal protection under the law. I recognize the importance of ensuring meaningful access to justice for these communities.
  4. I am committed to ongoing learning regarding the legal, social, and systemic issues affecting trans and gender expansive communities in Canada, including developments in constitutional, family, human rights, healthcare, education, and administrative law.
  5. I recognize that legal systems have historically contributed to the marginalization of transgender and gender expansive people and families. I am committed to providing legal services to trans and gender expansive clients in ways that are affirming, that reduce barriers to accessing justice, and that uphold their right to substantive equality.
  6. Where possible and within the scope of my capacity and professional obligations, I am willing to be contacted regarding opportunities for pro bono, sliding scale, advocacy, or emergency legal support related to the rights and wellbeing of transgender and gender-expansive individuals and families.
