Trans Toronto: Bars, Community & Resources

Running since 2007, Cherry Bomb is Toronto's longest-running party for queer women, trans and non-binary people and their friends, and it's been voted Xtra Magazine's Best Club Event for Women multiple years running. It's not a fixed venue but a recurring event, run by longtime DJs Cozmic Cat and Denise Benson, that pops up around the city at different clubs throughout the year, with its biggest night, Cherry Bomb Pride, held every June and drawing a stacked lineup of DJs, burlesque and drag performers.

It's 19-plus, in line with Ontario's drinking age, and tickets for bigger nights like Cherry Bomb Pride typically run in advance through Eventbrite, with a higher price at the door. Since it moves venue to venue, check Instagram or the website for the current location and date before planning around it.

House of Bottoms is a recurring queer and trans-inclusive stripper rave held at The House of Lancaster on Bloor Street West, a collaboration between House of Lambda, known for its sapphic strip nights, and Bottoms ONLY!, which centers QTBIPOC parties. Expect pole performances, DJs and a late finish, typically 9:30pm to 2am. It's an explicit adult party rather than a conventional club night, with VIP areas and private rooms usually available.

It's 19-plus, in line with Ontario's drinking age, with tickets normally around $15 in advance and $25 to $30 at the door. Dates vary through the year rather than following a fixed monthly schedule, so check Yohomo or Eventbrite for the next one before planning around it.

Sherbourne Health在多倫多經營一個專門服務2SLGBTQ+人群的初級醫療保健項目，其臨床醫生在跨性別醫療保健方面經驗豐富，同時還提供一般初級保健、心理健康服務以及愛滋病毒治療和監測。對於需要一位了解基本知識而非從零開始的醫療服務提供者的跨性別訪客或新移民來說，它是多倫多最重要的醫療保健資源之一。

服務包括跨性別者專屬醫療保健、心理健康支持、愛滋病毒感染者護理，以及與安大略省LGBTQ+健康促進機構「彩虹健康安大略」（Rainbow Health Ontario）的對接。舍伯恩也經營「支持我們的青年」（Supporting Our Youth）項目，這是一個針對LGBTQ+青少年的指導和健康計畫。

519是多倫多市政府下屬的社區中心，位於丘奇-韋爾斯利村中心地帶，自1976年開放以來，今年迎來了50週年紀念。除了提供包括健康、住房、法律和財務支持、臨時接待以及社區小組等在內的其他服務外，該中心還專門設有跨性別者服務項目。此外，位於中心後方芭芭拉·霍爾公園內的多倫多愛滋病紀念碑也坐落於此。

對於跨性別遊客來說，這是一個真正有用的第一個聯繫點，而不僅僅是一個地標，值得了解，以便在多倫多逗留期間獲得當地支持、活動和社區聯繫，而不僅僅是對當地人而言。
