Trans and nonbinary people experienced numerous challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic in Canada. During provincially-mandated COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns, some trans and nonbinary individuals were forced to move in or isolate with those who were unsupportive or unaware of their trans or nonbinary identity. This meant that trans and nonbinary individuals had to choose between outing themselves, which could possibly endanger them, or hiding their identity. Additionally, many trans and nonbinary individuals reported increased experiences of disordered eating and alcohol use as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. While the federal government provided some financial relief during already financially precarious times, trans and nonbinary people continued to face unemployment and financial challenges, with one study reporting that 40% of trans and nonbinary individuals had been eating fewer meals due to their financial situation.
