Transphobic online hate is on the rise in Canada. To better understand transphobic online hate, its impacts, and how it has been addressed thus far, the Open Digital Literacy and Access Network (ODLAN) partnered with Wisdom2Action (W2A) to conduct an online survey and interviews with Two Spirit, trans, and nonbinary professionals working for 2SLGBTQIA+ serving organizations in Canada. This report summarizes the research findings, which are organized by themes that emerged during data analysis. The report also offers recommendations for 2SLGBTQIA+ organizations to mitigate and address transphobic online hate.
This project was implemented together with Open Digital Literacy and Access Network (ODLAN). For more information about ODLAN’s work please visit www.odlan.ca.
In the spirit of reconciliation, Wisdom2Action acknowledges the land on which it was originally established as the traditional and unceded territory of the M’ikmaq, known as Mi’kmak’i (Nova Scotia). Our team is spread across Turtle Island (Canada) on the treaty lands of many First Nations. We recognize the people and the land in this way as part of our commitment to anti-oppression and decolonization. We are all treaty people.
