Luna Ferguson
Luna Ferguson is a Canadian filmmaker and LGBTQ activist. Ferguson uses the pronouns they/them. Ferguson is a graduate of Algonquin College, University of Western Ontario and the University of British Columbia. In May 2017, Ferguson applied to change their birth registration to non-binary. After extended delay, in September 2017 they filed a human rights complaint with the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario. The government of Ontario changed its policies in 2018 and issued Ferguson with a birth certificate showing their gender as non-binary. As a consequence of Ferguson's case, in addition to having options  to change gender to male, female or X, Ontario is the first Canadian province, or government administration in the world, to permit citizens to request birth certificates with no sexual designation. Ferguson's documentary about their life as a non-binary person and the fight for legal recognition is in post-production. Their film "Whispers of Life" was winner of the audience award and jury award for Best GLBTTQ* Short Film in the 2014 Reel Pride Film Festival and won the audience award at the Reelout Queer Film Festival. Ferguson is the director and producer of "Limina", released in 2016 , which features the experience of a gender-fluid child. "Limina" was the first film to be nominated in both male and female performance categories for the same actor by the Leo Awards. Their non-fiction book "Me, Myself, They" is slated for publication in 2019. In September 2019, Ferguson announced that they had legally changed their first name to Luna.
