VANCOUVER—Transphobia could soon be as socially unacceptable as racism, say experts, following a slew of institutional decisions in B.C. supreme court case and a Vancouver city hall decision, all affirming trans rights, are more evidence that there’s a cultural shift. regarding trans rights, experts say a cultural shift will result in it being easier to be out as a trans person. “Our courts, our institutions, our local governments, our administrative tribunals are saying this is what's right, trans people are equal.” Experts also say the decisions affirming trans rights are a win for the women’s movement, and that trans rights and women’s rights are intertwined. Travers is both transgender and queer, and said the recent decisions will bring a “matter-of-factness to trans rights,” the same way that gay marriage did for queer rights.
