The Trans PULSE Project Listserv
Ontario
This is an invitation to join a new Ontario trans activism list serve. The
goal is to facilitate collaboration and resource sharing among trans
activists and allies with a focus on Ontario. List members can use the list
to post events, share ideas and seek resources and support for work they are
doing. Please forward this invitation to others. This idea grew out of
conversations that took place this fall between Ontario trans activists
relating to the Trans PULSE project, though this list is independent of any
organization.
To join the new list, please send an email to
with the word subscribe in the subject line
or unsubscribe to leave the list. For the digest option, send an email to
with a blank subject heading and the following in the body
of the email:

Below is a first stab at proposed guidelines for the list serve. They are
fully open to discussion and input into the content and wording is welcomed.
I will volunteer to be the first moderator and then pass this on to someone
else at a later date. Feel free to write with your thoughts and suggestions.

Goal: To facilitate collaboration and resource sharing among trans activists
and allies with a focus on Ontario.
Guidelines:
Open to Anyone: The list is open to anyone to join. It will be most relevant
for trans people and their allies who want to work toward social justice and
stay informed about current trans activism and advocacy.
Appreciating Diversity: Trans people and allies on this list are
acknowledged as being diverse in many ways including: identity; life
experience; political beliefs; race; class; ability; etc. Navigating
differences of opinion are understood to be part of community building.
Respectful Communication: All communication should be done with respect.
List members will disagree but challenges, critiques and questions need to
be presented in considerate ways. The goal is open communication, and since
disrespectful messages close communication, people engaging in this will be
reminded of the guidelines. Hate speech is not tolerated and will result in
be removed from the list.
Collaboration, not Necessarily Discussion: The list is intended to be a
collaboration tool and not a discussion forum per se. Discussions can
certainly occur, though they may not need to include all list members.
Focused on, but not Exclusive to Ontario: The list focuses on Ontario (as it
has come out of conversations between Ontario trans activists) but anyone is
free to join and free to post information and events about issues relating
to any location.
