Gender Inclusivity, Identity & Expression Resources
The YMCA of Greater Toronto strongly believes in the importance of education. There are many resources available online that offer perspectives and experiences about gender potentially different than your own. Please keep in mind, that fellow members and YMCA employees are not expected to educate on their own identities.
