Biography

Personal life and education

Ashley came out as trans and transitioned in 2015.[5] They use singular they pronouns.[6]

Ashley attended McGill University in Montreal, Canada, where they graduated with a Bachelor of Civil Law and a Juris Doctor in 2017 and with a Master of Laws in bioethics in 2019. They earned a Doctor of Juridical Science from the University of Toronto Faculty of Law in 2023, where they were also a Junior Fellow of Massey College.[7][8] They joined the University of Alberta Faculty of Law as an Assistant Professor in 2023.[9]

In 2019, Ashley became the first known openly transgender clerk at the Supreme Court of Canada, where they worked in the chambers of Justice Sheilah Martin.[10][5] During the same year, the Canadian Bar Association awarded Ashley the SOGIC Hero Award.[11] Their work is cited in the World Professional Association for Transgender Health‘s Standards of Care for the Health of Transgender and Gender Diverse People Version 8.[12]

In 2022, Ashley published the book Banning Transgender Conversion Practices: A Legal and Policy Analysis.[13] The book is about conversion therapy for transgender people and studies how they can be legally banned, and what impact this ban would have on the countries which would decide to implement these laws. Ashley believes that conversion therapy needs to disappear and that a formal ban improves the situation without fully solving the issue.[14] They cite the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health in Toronto as an example of practices that were so bad, they served as a precedent to get conversion therapy banned in the province of Ontario.[13]

In 2023, Ashley was one of 21 members appointed to the World Health Organization's guideline development group concerning the health of trans and gender diverse people,[15] but as of January 15, 2024, they were no longer listed as a proposed member of that group due to a schedule conflict.[16]
