Christin Milloy was the first transgendered person to run for office in the Ontario Provincial government in 2011. Although she was not elected, she continues to work tirelessly for the rights of transgender people in Canada. The Ontario Human Rights code was recently amended to include transgendered people with the passage of Toby's Law. Christin reflects on her childhood recollections of knowing something was not right and her decision to take the step to become a woman. Her parents comment and the family discusses working with the medical establishment, her struggle with gatekeepers to her work today as a human rights activist working to champion rights of transgender people.
