“I wonder how many parents here tonight even know that trans female students—traditionally classified as male in gender—are allowed in their daughters’ bathrooms and changerooms unsupervised when each school has a gender-neutral private bathroom that can be used instead?”
That was the question an Ottawa school board didn’t allow parent Nick Morabito to ask at a recent meeting, calling it “transphobic.” After backlash, the Ottawa Carleton District School Board allowed Morabito to speak to this issue at its meeting on March 28. Dozens of protesters on either side of the issue showed up.
