This discussion took place during the Restoring the Circle Conference, on June 3rd, 2019, at Ryerson University, located on the 'Dish With One Spoon Territory.' This youth-led panel addresses barriers to accessing care and connecting with communities as Indigenous, Black, racialized and trans young people. This panel sought to centre the space, and the voices, of young trans folks to create intentional conversations about various critical feminist ideologies, anti-racist frameworks, perspectives on intersectionalities. Discussing lived experiences and needs of trans, Two-Spirit, and, or, gender diverse youth communities, and youth-led models of care within this panel seeks to expand perspectives and learning. Best practices that service providers can engage in, definitions of key terms, discussions on how to share the space, and the importance of paying attention to diversity, different lived experiences, and personal preferences are discussed.
