http://theeyeopener.com/2011/03/students-call-for-trans-education/When Liana Salvador asked RyePRIDE about the transgender community at Ryerson as research for a nursing project, she was met with an unexpected response.
"They told us there was only one out, trans-identified person at the entire university that they knew of," said Salvador, who is also VP Education at the Ryerson Student's Union.
That one student is Jake Pyne, one of the speakers at Ryerson's first ever Trans-Action for Community Health forum, which was held on March 7 and was organized by nursing students.
