It can take years for a transgender person to begin their true life and be their authentic self. But a rising tide of violence and hate in Canada and globally is making trans lives even shorter. White Ribbon believes that people want to better understand the transgender community, so we created Short Life Stories to help build empathy and support. The film offers a glimpse into the trans experience, the bravery of it, the obstacles they overcome, and the nuances of their lives. Most importantly, it shows the joy that is possible from acceptance and allyship.
