It was heartening to see. It is a false equivalency to say it is like coming out when you are gay, because if a kid tells you they are same sex attracted there is nothing to be said or done. In the case however of a kid coming out transgender, there is a 9 page protocol for Halton, my area, about how to change the child's name in school documentation without informing the parents, how they will be able to share dorms on school trips with whatever sex they feel comfortable in and that they can use gender affirming bathrooms and sports teams. No consultation or consideration for the females.
Secondly, one of the statistics from Hannah Barnes' book was that there was a 70% chance of 5 other co-morbidities like eating disorders and suicide attempts. Not only are teachers not qualified to go straight into a gender affirming approach it's a safeguarding disaster if they are so much more likely to have other MH concerns. It's also a safeguarding nightmare for the other kids and to alter documentation when prescription medication like epipens would be in the so-called "deadname" I mean, what could possibly go wrong?
I see Jagmeet Singh chose the dumpster fire of siding with the Unions against parents over the dumpster fire of Trudeau's announcement yesterday about the Indian government, he needs to grow a spine.
