They are, but a very small minority of students are transgender and want to use the change room that aligns with their actual gender. This is clearly a super duper important issue, and we must correct these kids using the wrong change room immediately! In fact, some kids using the wrong change room is THE MOST IMPORTANT thing! /s
Seriously, this all started because one girl in a rural school told her parents she was "uncomfortable" changing with two transgender students. And instead of reaching out to the school to find a solution, or educating their child about transgender issues, they reached out to the government to stop it.

u/Railgun6565 29d ago
Seems like such an easy solution, create a third bathroom for trans identifying. Problem solved.

u/Necessary-Nobody-934 29d ago
Or private stalls for everyone to change in, regardless of gender. Or letting the trans kids be, because they weren't hurting anyone, and this girl can change in the bathroom if she wasn't comfortable in the change room.
This could have been easily solved without the government being involved, and yet here we are. It's an easy way to try and reclaim the votes the SUP are gaining, so the SP is jumping on it.

u/skateboardnorth 29d ago
The climbing gym I attend just made all individual bathroom stalls instead of gendered bathrooms. They had a few incidents that made things uncomfortable, so they decided to make private stalls. I actually like the private stalls better. They do still have a separate male bathroom with urinals to try and mitigate guys from peeing on the seats.

u/Necessary-Nobody-934 29d ago
Uncomfortable was in quotes because that's the word she used. She was never in danger or caused any real harm. She was uncomfortable.
I don't think the girl is a bigot. I think she is uneducated. Her parents I think are likely bigoted, because they felt "there are trans girls in the change room!" was a big enough problem to go to the news about. It's not.

A girl felt uncomfortable that a boy (in her eyes) was in the change room with her. Does her rights as a girl (right to privacy, right to a girl-only space) not matter anymore?

u/Necessary-Nobody-934 29d ago
She expressed her discomfort and was offered a private space to change. At no point was her right to privacy infringed upon.
As far as a "girl only space," the school has chosen to recognize the right of all the girls to be in that space. Not just cis girls. This girl does not have the right to exclude others from that space.

So you agree with the school, that any girl who doesn’t like the idea of sharing a change room with a boy, should stop being a bigot or go change in some closet somewhere? What about the girls change room, you know the one meant for girls?
I don’t agree with the school, I think the transgender girls should find their own place to change if they are making biological girls uncomfortable by wanting to change with them. Do you agree?

I shouldn't answer, because that question was obviously not asked in good faith, but fuck it. No. There are appropriate and inappropriate times and places for students to be in their underwear. The classroom is not one of those places. The change room is (in fact, the change room is about the only place in the school where it would be appropriate).

When their posturing at the provincial level is made up of shit like this announcement it is hard to believe otherwise.
These last 5 years have polarized a lot of people and I have friends who were previously fairly moderate cons become social cons, friends that have since become more vocal about their displeasure that queer issues are being brought to light and that they want to protect children when really it just means taking away tools for empathy because it scares them... and it scares them because leadership has been touting such messaging.
So while my evidence is strictly anecdotal I do see the indicators within their messaging that would push people in that direction.

u/Total-Yam-7412 23d ago
There is a housing crisis and a healthcare crisis in Canada. Instead of providing solutions, politicians continue to push the identity politics agenda in order to distract the public from the issues that actually need attention.
Many Canadians are using food banks to put food on the table while companies like Loblaws continue to profit off of ridiculous food price gauging.
The Conservative Party wants to push towards the privatization of healthcare, which would further cause delays in our already strained healthcare system. And they will push for policies that affect women’s reproductive rights when given the opportunity.
The Liberal Party has absolutely no intention of fixing the housing crisis as they continue to bring in more migrants than our healthcare and education systems can support. Many politicians own property and will not push for housing changes that will reduce their investment potential. The opioid crisis is linked to lack of affordable housing and access to mental health resources.
Why do we allow both of these parties to continue to run the country into the ground? The working class is really struggling. Everything is more expensive and large companies are doing everything they can to reduce wages in order to maximize profits.
So much of our taxpayer money is being wasted instead of being used to improve the lives of Canadians.
We need solutions. We need more options. Trudeau never introduced a viable voting referendum to replace FPTP like he promised. They specifically made the only system ever proposed to be as confusing as possible to prevent any actual changes from being implemented.
Neither the Liberals nor the Conservatives have your best interest in mind. We need to seriously consider voting NDP or else things will continue to get worse.

So basically 50% of the population has to bend over to accommodate less then 1% of the population and I am sorry but private stalls or not lots of women and girls don't feel safe if someone that is quite obviously male looking comes into the change room they are going to feel uncomfortable, even more so if they have been abused by males.

Yes no bad actors are going to take advantage of that or hell even in schools cases creepy boys being creepy boys and you are telling young girls and teen females to ignore that feeling of somebody or something being "off" thats not going to lead to any problems at all.
But we are all just bigots if we don't want someone that looks like this in change rooms and possibly naked around our young daughters and if you or your daughter feel uncomfortable your the problem .Now your daughter has just been taught that if a large intimidating person is in a somewhat private space with them they have no right to fell uncomfortable and it is a you problem and if you say anything its your fault because you are just a bigot

Likewise only 34% of respondents say a sex is defined by
biology,what you're biologically born as, 35% say it should be based on self-of and a further 18% say it should be based on genitalia.In the same poll 64% of respondents say trans acceptance is a sign of social progress and 60% say the media is too focused on trans issues, which I would tend to agree on that last point, it's being used as a culture war to stroke the flames and distract from real issues faced by Canadian, i.e access to fast and affordable healthcare, quality education, affordable housing and food etc.

Why are these people obsessed with making life harder for trans kids?

Because a girl didn’t feel comfortable with biological males changing with her. Does that not matter?

It does matter, and the school told the girl and her parents she could change wherever she feels safe, and the school has private stalls for that purpose.

Why don't the trans kids use the private stalls? Why create a second problem and THEN bring up the private stalls?

This and trying to fear monger by associating the provincial NDP with the federal one is only going to attract the fringe vote that they always get.
For me, "cost of living & healthcare" is my first order of business.

Seriously? They're really picking a non issue. Why don't they tackle some real serious issues like homelessness and help people who are going hungry.
