An update on my daughter’s hearing at the Ontario Human Rights Tribunal My daughter’s human rights case was finally heard earlier this spring. We are waiting for the decision and expect it sometime this summer.
The school board has adopted gender identity as a wholesale replacement for sex. The only criteria for being a boy or a girl is gender identity, not one’s sex.
The lessons that our daughter was taught were designed to replace her understanding of herself in terms of her biological reality as a female with the idea that “girl” or “boy” are completely subjective concepts and up to each individual to decide how they want to label themselves in terms of their “gender”.
As an unwitting parent myself 4 years ago, I’d mistakenly thought that when “gender identity” was instructed to children, it was to suggest that SOME people may have a strong feeling that they are a different gender from their birth sex. What’s happening, in fact, is that schools are doing a bait and switch – replacing the framework for how children understand their gender from the objective idea of sex to the subjective idea of gender identity. The exception case has become the rule.
In my view, there needs to be a baseline understanding and acknowledgment of sex before the topic of “gender identity” can or should be imprinted on young minds.
