“I get to choose which parts of my dad I keep and incorporate into myself, and which parts of our history I choose to let wash away on that shoreline of Lake Ontario.”

The Glow UP
At TransLash, change is constant. We embrace our own process of collective transformation, and we honor every step of the journey. We’re getting ready to celebrate a pivotal point in our story, and we’re inviting you to be a part of it!
We’ve been working behind the scenes to launch a new brand for TransLash—one that honors our roots, reflects our growth, and leaves room for what’s to come. Over the next few months, you’ll notice fresh visuals and content as we bring our “glow up” to life across our digital channels. This summer, we’ll celebrate the culmination of that work: our brand new website! We’re building a new home for the journalism you love and trust, grounded in our deep commitment to the trans community.
We’re stepping into our own transition, and we want to share it with you. Join us!
Be the first to know when we launch the new site!
