(Canada) - With a provincial election rapidly approaching, Trans activists are working to raise the profile of their issues with both the Gay community and Ontario's political parties. "We're going to do what we need to do to put it on the political agenda," says Susan Gapka of the Trans Health Lobby Group. The lobby group - along with such allies as Egale Canada and the Coalition for Lesbian and Gay Rights in Ontario - wants to have sex reassignment surgery (SRS) relisted under the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP). Ontario stopped paying for SRS in 1998 under the Mike Harris Conservative government.
