Josh Alexander, 17, has initiated a complaint to the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario saying his Catholic school unlawfully discriminated against him for his religious belief that there are only two genders.

He has been shut out of St. Joseph’s in Renfrew, Ont., for most of the school year on the grounds that his presence is “detrimental to the physical or mental well-being” of other students, particularly transgender students.
