Image Statement: In 2023, for the first time in Canadian history, the Supreme Court used the word "transgender" in a legal decision recognizing "Transgender and queer youth are an acutely vulnerable - yet brave and resilient - group." Supreme Court of Canada file number 39796, the case of Glen Hansman v. Barry Neufeld, is significant for its focus on the intersection of freedom of expression, defamation, and the protection of public participation.
