Ottawa is located on the unceded territory of the Algonquin Anishinabeg Nation on the banks of the river they called the Kichi Sibi (now called the Ottawa).

Ottawa Trans History

Although Ottawa’s trans history was the original reason for this web site, this ongoing project has stalled.

If you are aware of events that are not recorded, please let me know.

Our history is important. It’s a powerful antidote to the attempted erasure of trans lives and it celebrates our achievements.

OTTAWA TRANS LIBRARY

I have been adding material to the Ottawa Trans Library in the hope that once this damn pandemic ends I’ll get it out of my basement and installed somewhere where the community can access it. The collection finally has a proper library catalogue: https://otranslib.librarika.com/search

An alphabetical list of all titles can be browsed by clicking on “Catalog”. Articles are included in the title so a book that begins with “The” will be under the letter T.

Some publications from the library are available in PDF format. These include the Gender Mosaic newsletter Notes from the Underground, the ‘zine Triple Echo, and the booklets Drag Queen and Transvestism. See the Digital Archives page.

Directory of Canadian Trans Activists

That many have found this directory useful has made my recent neglect of it unfortunate. Adding new names, however, is a labour intensive project, made more so because I’m not on social media. I sometimes feel I’ve bitten off more than I can chew, but for what it’s worth – and until I get my act together deciding where I go from here – here are brief biographies of twenty individuals who have helped secure rights and dignity for Canadian trans people.
