From 1993 to 1995, Ross and her partner Xanthra Phillippa MacKay published gendertrash from hell, a quarterly zine which "[gave] a voice to gender queers, who've been discouraged from speaking out & communicating with each other.
"[3] They managed the zine's publisher, genderpress, which also distributed other trans pamphlets and literature, corresponded with local organizations and sold buttons.
In standard zine format, gendertrash was a combination of art, poetry, resource lists, serialized fiction, calls to action, classified ads, illustrations, collages and movie reviews.
[25] In 2001 and 2002, she performed The Pregnancy Project, a 9-month piece where she appeared in public with a prosthetic belly to spark conversations about gender, motherhood and the possibility of womb transplants for transsexuals.
[34] She worked with women's shelters, community centres and sex worker organizations to improve access and educate service providers.
[35] Ross was involved in pushing back against efforts by residents' associations in the Gay Village and Allan Gardens areas to expel sex workers.
