Trans Manitoba (TMB) began as a grassroots collective of folks who believe the radical idea that Two Spirits, nonbinary people, and transgender folks should speak for ourselves and be seen as critical stakeholders in decisions made for our lives. We are now an incorporated non-profit organization. We believe the personal is political. We advocate for systemic change to improve the lives of Manitobans of all genders through outreach, education, and political and legal action.

Trans Manitoba aims to be an organization that is equitable to BIPOC folks, folks with lived experience and marginalized identities, and people of all abilities, genders, and sexual orientations. Self identification in your cover letter is encouraged, but not required.
