In addition to national and federal Canada transgender resources, below are options for provincial trans resources in Yukon.
In 2017, the Yukon Legislative Assembly made amendments to the Human Rights Act and the Vital Statistics Act to protect citizens from discrimination on the grounds of gender identity and gender expression.
They also removed the requirement for bottom surgery surgery in order to change the sex on a birth registration.
Yukon Territory (YT) has what experts consider a very comprehensive program for state-funded trans and gender diverse healthcare.
