In this study 21 trans-identified youth in Toronto and Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
were interviewed about their experiences related to transition. Using the
materialist research strategy of Institutional Ethnography, I explore the
organization of trans-specific health care services in Ontario. I describe
challenges participants had in relation to accessing care and describe key
differences in how care is currently delivered in Ontario. The ways in which
various politico-legal and medical forms of organization shape the provision of
trans care in Ontario are explored in detail. This work provides an empirically
grounded addition to the growing literature that seeks to make sense of trans
marginalization and exclusion.
