The Montreal Star*

This site is dedicated to compiling reports from international news sources documenting the struggles of gender variant folks that avoid sensationalizing our lives, posting reports that respectfully address the issues which affect our health and access to institutional support. I define gender variant as anyone who identifies with a gender other than that to which they were assigned at birth.

* The Montreal Star was an English-language Canadian newspaper that folded in 1979.
