Alberta legislation on transgender youth, student pronouns and sex education set to become law

Alberta's new laws will severely affect the rights of the transgender community, especially teenagers. By requiring schools to notify parents of students' name or pronoun changes, limiting youth access to gender-affirming care, and banning trans athletes from competing in women's sports, these laws create an atmosphere of non-acceptance and discrimination for this group. Also, by requiring parental consent for sex education and limiting the discussion of gender identity and sexual orientation in schools, these laws help limit the rights of transgender people and create obstacles in the path of comprehensive sex education. In general, instead of protecting the rights of transgender people, these laws seek to create division and limit their individual freedoms.
