Media discourse in Canada on trans youth and parent advocacy
News reporting on transgender youth between 2011 and 2019 in Canada is increasingly affirming of transgender identities, experiences, and needs. These news stories are also increasingly initiated by parent/caregiver advocates of trans youth. We trace the recent history of news coverage of transgender youth to provide for the first time a history of parent advocacy as a social movement in Canada. This movement began in urban centres by cis, white,…
Parents' Journeys to Acceptance and Support of Gender-diverse and Trans Children and Youth
Over the past 5 years in Canada, clinicians have observed an increasing number of gender-diverse and trans children and youth (GDTCY) accessing clinics for gender-affirming care. GDTCY who are able to access care are usually accompanied by their families, which provides a unique opportunity to integrate them into the treatment team. GDTCY have better health and social outcomes when strongly supported by their parents/caregivers. To optimize young…
A critical commentary on follow-up studies and “desistance” theories about transgender and gender-nonconforming children
Background: It has been widely suggested that over 80% of transgender children will come to identify as cisgender (i.e., desist) as they mature, with the assumption that for this 80%, the trans identity was a temporary “phase.” This statistic is used as the scientific rationale for discouraging social transition for pre-pubertal children. This article is a critical commentary on the limitations of this research and a caution against using these s…
Learning to listen to trans and gender diverse children

Poverty and Breastfeeding
Purpose: Infant feeding differences are strongly tied to socioeconomic status. The goal of this study is to compare determinants of early breastfeeding cessation incidence in socioeconomically marginalized (SEM) and socioeconomically privileged (SEP) populations, focusing on birthing parents who intended to breastfeed. Methods: This cohort study includes data from 451 birthing parents in the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador who repo…
Fighting for Trans* Kids
In this article we explore some of the affective and ethical dimensions that we have faced as parent academic-activists seeking to understand and undo some of the structural transphobia that currently exists in Canadian society. Informed by critical feminist, critical race and black feminist thought, trans* scholarship, queer theory, and anti-oppression analysis, we discuss how our academic-activism assumes complex configurations of privilege and…
Fat girls' and 'big guys
Over 80% of weight loss surgery (WLS) patients are women, yet gender is overwhelmingly absent in WLS research. This article discusses the findings of 54 interviews with twenty-one women and six men waiting for WLS in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. We critically examine the ways that gender shapes the meaning of WLS in these narratives. We explore gendered meanings in participants' perspectives on their embodied experiences before surgery, soc…
Patients’ perceptions of waiting for bariatric surgery
Patients' perceptions of accessing and waiting for bariatric surgery are shaped by perceived and experienced socioeconomic, regional, and waitlist prioritization inequities. A system addressing these inequities must be developed. Waiting for surgery is inherent in publicly funded health care systems; however, ensuring equitable access to treatment should be a health system priority. Supports and resources are required to ensure the waiting experi…
How formula feeding mothers balance risks and define themselves as ‘good mothers’
Breast feeding provides protection from many diseases and reduces health risks for both mother and child; however, a significant percentage of mothers in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada choose to formula feed their infants from birth. In order to understand this phenomenon, qualitative research in the form of focus groups was conducted in three communities in the province in 2010. The data elicited from the research question ‘Why did you choose…
Task-Diaries
This article discusses the usefulness of a qualitative tool called a 'task-diary,' in combination with individual in-depth interviews, for occupational health research on teacher workloads. I describe my use of task-diaries to examine primary and elementary teachers' workloads in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, discuss the most useful aspects of task-diaries for this research, and suggest further applications of this tool in the workload resea…
