Sometimes, children who are trans get accused of not being able to “know yet”. That’s not fair. Children have incredible understanding of gender and their own identity as little people in the world.
We’re being a little silly here, but the sentiment remains true. Allow children autonomy to define themselves, and if you have any questions about how to support your trans child, contact us or post a question in the forums on our website.

People often spend Transgender Day of Remembrance reflecting on the hundreds and thousands of trans lives lost each year.
We suggest something additional. Let’s stop and ask ourselves how we can support trans people in Yellowknife so that no more lives are lost.
If you’re able to help IGBYK organize a Transgender Day of Remembrance event, please contact us at itgetsbetteryk @ gmail.com.

We’re looking to start up a monthly hang out space for queer youth and their allies in Yellowknife (up to the age 19), but we’re worried about recruiting sponsors and partners and then not having anybody show up!
If you are in support of this concept, having monthly queer spaces for youth to hang out (and have fun) at, let us know so we can let possible partners know!
These spaces would most likely include some/all of the following:
- food (pizza is delicious)
- a queer adult or two to share some stories
- movies
- music
- games
- laughs
- information
- other queer youth
- prizes (!!!!)
Let us know if you’re interested by either sending us a private e-mail, FB message or note on our website, or by commenting openly on any of our social media!
