"Newfoundlander Jennifer McCreath, the only openly transgender federal election candidate in the country, has long been a trailblazer.

She helped put transgender issues on the map in Newfoundland and Labrador eight years ago when she did a series of interviews on provincial TV station NTV about being an openly transitioning provincial government policy analyst.

"In 2007, trans stories in mainstream media was still kind of a rather taboo subject," McCreath told Yahoo Canada News. "And so it introduced the topic of transgender and transexual issues. It introduced me as a person who was living here and going through it."
