Perfectly Fine Dining"I hope they still serve jalapeno poppers," my friend Eve says as we start our drive to Longueuil, a suburb on Montreal's South Shore.

The resulting story outlined what it’s like to be a young trans person in a country where provincial governments have increasingly been stripping away the rights of gender-diverse youth. Two of the families I spoke with live in Alberta, where Canada’s harshest anti-trans bills to date were introduced into the legislature last week.
