MEP Christine Anderson has expressed her support for a 16-year-old Canadian who has been barred from attending his Catholic high school because he says he won’t stop expressing his belief that God made only two, immutable genders.

“Josh Alexander is only 16 [years] ... old and already he’s got it figured out: Freedom, democracy and the rule of law need defending,” Anderson said on Twitter Feb. 21. She said he is “a very impressive young man who’s earned my respect and support.”
