Welcome to Trans PULSE Canada!

Survey data collection will take place this summer, and we will post a link to the survey on this web page once the survey is live. To participate, you must be aged 14 or older, live in Canada, and have a gender identity that differs from the sex you were assigned at birth. You don’t have to identify personally as transgender, trans, or non-binary, you don’t have to be living day-to-day in your true gender, and you don’t have to be taking hormones.

Trans PULSE Canada is designed as a voluntary community census. It’s for everyone, and there is even a 10-minute short form if you can’t complete the whole 70-minute survey. The project also has nine priority populations, groups within trans and non-binary communities for which we either have very little information or have specific policy-related information needs. So, if you are a member of one of these groups—non-binary, living with a disability, Indigenous, rural, sex worker, racialized, immigrant, youth, or elder—you may notice some questions specific to these groups, and we have some separate analysis and reports planned.
