THE GUERRILLA ANGEL REPORT — ‘That’s a guy’ said one airport greeter out loud to another, while pointing at a trans woman walking through a terminal at a Toronto, Canada airport last April.

The woman, Enza Anderson, who also happens a highly visible member of the Toronto trans community, shortly thereafter filed a complaint with the Greater Toronto Airports Authority (GTAA) about the incident.

Anderson speaking to CP24.com: “As soon as I walked in the room one of these greeters started to motion to one of her colleagues and said ‘that’s a guy.’ From there on it just created a very uncomfortable situation. They were all staring and gawking.”

About a month later, Anderson received a formal apology from the GTAA and was informed that the agency conducted an investigation into the subcontractors providing greeters for the airport and have received assurances from them that this would not occur again. In addition, the greeters were to undergo sensitivity training.

Anderson, a writer who has also dabbled politics (she once ran for mayor of Toronto), says she happy with the apology and considers the matter closed.
