Angela Dawson (born 1968) is a Canadian public figure and political candidate. She is known by the name of Rollergirl and can often be seen wearing all pink and "directing traffic" in Vancouver, British Columbia. In 2015, she won a B.C. Human Rights Tribunal case against the Vancouver Police Department, after being refused access to medical care in jail and referred to as her "dead name". The tribunal found that since Dawson informed officers that she was a transgender female and was not treated as such, she was discriminated against on the basis of sex. Vancouver Police Board has was ordered to pay Dawson $15,000 as damages for "injury to dignity, feelings and self-respect." In 2018 she ran for mayor of Vancouver. She is running for Park Board Commissioner in the 2022 Vancouver municipal election. |
