Saskatchewan Party's Change Room Policy Sparks Outcry from LGBTQ+ Advocates
Proposed policy to separate change rooms by biological sex criticized for endangering transgender youth and politicizing their rights.
- Saskatchewan Party Leader Scott Moe promises to ban 'biological boys' from sharing change rooms with 'biological girls' if re-elected.
- LGBTQ+ advocates argue the policy is harmful and risks the safety and well-being of transgender youth.
- Critics, including NDP Leader Carla Beck, accuse Moe of fostering division and using transgender issues as a political tool.
- The policy proposal follows a previous law requiring parental consent for minors to use different names or pronouns at school.
- Advocates highlight the need for authentic spaces for gender-diverse youth, warning that such policies distract from pressing issues like healthcare.
