Summary
Many plan sponsors have begun to ask how they can best support plan members who are undergoing the gender affirmation journey. Drawing on her own lived experiences as a trans person and professional experience in group benefits, the presenter will provide background on gender, what it means, and the challenges facing transgender or non-binary Canadians. She will then discuss some of the coverage options available and provide insights on how advisors can best support their clients to provide inclusive benefits plans.
