From what I am seeing in my transitional journey, the route for "transsexuals" in Quebec and other parts of Canada is improving all the time. Some provinces pay some of the medical costs, and completing the legal paperwork is fairly routine now. Society at  large in such provinces as Quebec, Ontario and B.C. is generally quite accepting and accommodating of people who have transitioned -- ie. I am a woman and am accepted as a woman. Indeed, many people don't know that I transitioned, and couldn't care less.

As for the various workplaces across the land, well, I simply can't generalize. I know my workplace is accepting, I know of others that are accepting. I would hope that all employers would accept transitioning individuals.
