The Gender Centre Inc. is committed to ensuring that this website is accessible to everyone. If you have any questions or comments regarding the accessibility of this website, please contact us  as we are continually striving to improve the experience for all visitors.

A website of this magnitude requires a form of navigation that lays out it's wide-ranging contents in as logical and concise a manner as possible. We have therefore opted for a drop-down menu.

While the use of a drop-down menu is highly convenient for many, we also acknowledge that it is largely unable to be used by viewers who do not, or cannot operate a mouse. To aid accessibility and usability, the drop-down menu will function as intended for those navigating our website with their keyboard with JavaScript turned "on" in almost all modern web browsers, and for those without JavaScript enabled, the contents of the website should appear in the footer at the end of each page within the website.

You will be able to increase the default text size of this site in any modern Browser as follows:

In the "Menu Bar" at the very top of the screen, click on "View" then "Text Size" and then "Increase". Selecting "Normal" will return you to the default font size.

In the "Menu Bar" at the very top of the screen, click on "View" then "Zoom". From there you will be able to increase or decrease the page size either by increments of 10% or by 150% and 200%. Choose 100% to return the page size to normal.

In the "Menu Bar" at the very top of the screen, click on "View" and then "Make Text Bigger". To return to the default size, choose "Make Text Smaller".

Towards the top, right of the screen, click on "Page" and then choose "Text Size" and either "Larger" or "Largest". Choosing "Medium" will return the page to the default size. If you prefer you can also choose the "Zoom" function which will attempt to enlarge the whole page including images.

In the "Menu Bar" at the very top of the screen, click on" View" and then choose "Text Size" and either "Larger" or "Largest". Choosing "Medium" will return the page to the default size.
