When the Name Caught Up to Work. A Health Collective That Grew with Its Community

Today it’s the Queer & Trans Health Collective (QTHC), but for years the organization was called the Edmonton Men’s Health Collective (EMHC). Ask QC Gu, QTHC’s Education and Advocacy Manager, and the old name only told part of the story.

“It was always more than just cis men”, QC says. The people showing up included trans men alongside gay and bi cis men from the beginning. So, the 2021 name change was more a rectification than a turning point. The work had moved on long before the letterhead did.
