In particular, the research shows that many trans people want to live in Saskatchewan — and do live here — despite some steep barriers. “We just need Saskatchewan to catch up, a little bit, with some of the resources that could be really helpful for us.” Fayant-McLeod said access to health care is particularly challenging for trans people living in rural or remote communities.
“The organizations that do exist — and there aren’t many in Saskatchewan — are making a big difference in people’s lives,” she said. “When there are already fewer services, or those services are only available in Saskatoon and Regina, it makes it more difficult. But there were great stories of people coming back to Saskatchewan after moving away. People who lived in rural settings shared how they were committed to creating a better future, making it more positive and supportive for the next generation.”Article content
