My response to the protesting of sexual health curriculum in Canada and the support for trans kids & gender non conforming kids in schools. We are also seeing a tremendous backlash in the USA with a record number of anti-trans & LBGTQIA ++ laws being passed — we in the midst of a mental health epidemic of depression, anxiety, addiction & trauma. Please listen and share with an open mind. We need to give kids the safe spaces they need to thrive. Schools are that safe space — and using gender affirming language not only creates safe spaces, it also protects kids from mental health crisis and suicidality.
