After the screening, those who are interested are welcome to stay for a discussion on topics related to the films. Haitu will provide some snacks and soft drinks, and attendees are encouraged to bring their own to share with others. We look forward to seeing you there!

On Sunday, March 30th at 3 PM, Haitu invites you to join us at Qmunity, located in Downtown Vancouver, for a screening of the documentary Xiaodi and a series of short films about trans people in China. Let's celebrate International Transgender Day of Visibility together!

The theme of Haitu Vancouver’s February meetup will be “trans intimacy.” Whether you want to share intimacy experiences, exploring different topics like sexuality, reproduction, and platonic love etc., or simply meet and connect with each other, you are welcomed here!

Do trans people of different sexualities approach intimacy differently? And most importantly – how do we deal with all these obstacles on the arduous journey of love and intimacy?

Navigating romance, love, and intimacy is daunting as is. There seems to be more challenges for trans people. How we trans people face these challenges? Are there differences between trans and cis people in terms of feeling and expressing love and (a)sexuality?

Thank you!

The event welcomes all self-identified Chinese/Sinophone trans and gender non-conforming people and allies. We are looking forward to meeting you! Please see the RSVP link above.

After the event, participants may decide whether they want to get dinner together by themselves. We will provide snacks and soft drinks. The event will be held in downtown Vancouver and we will send the details of address and other information after signing up through email.

The first event of Haitu Trans Support Society is here! The event will be held on January 26th (Sunday) during 3-5pm. Activities of this event will include the self-introduction of the organizers of Haitu, incebreaking, board games, and feedbacks, etc.
