Ontario’s school-to-gender clinic pipeline

While school boards are directing teachers to keep student social and medical gender transitions secret from parents, one of [Ontario’s] largest children’s hospitals is simultaneously recognizing those same teachers as referral sources for its gender clinic.

Those are among the findings compiled in a new report examining how school policies, outside organizations, and medical services intersect to create a “school-to-medical transition pipeline,” according to the author. […]

Todor’s report also examined relationships between schools and these “outside organizations.”

One such example is board material describing OK2BME as a valued community partner for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and questioning youth. The organization has published material teaching minors how to access gender-related medical interventions.

Another group, Get REAL, works with schools and provides binders, gaffs, and packers to minors as a form of “harm reduction.” They call these prosthetic genitals “gender joy gear” and say that teens 13–18 need parental consent first.

Todor’s report is here.

Manufacturing consent.

The first substantive revamp to Manitoba’s sex-ed curriculum in decades includes an emphasis on consent and weaves lessons in from kindergarten to Grade 12, instead of wedging in learning milestones only at specific grades.

Last week, the province released detailed changes it is implementing to phys-ed and health curricula, beginning with a two-year pilot at over 100 schools across Manitoba.

Menstruation and gender identity will be introduced earlier and in age-appropriate ways, and lessons about boundaries and giving, asking and refusing consent will feature prominently.

Juno News;

Newfoundland parents just got the memo: Once your kid turns 12, the government says you’re no longer automatically entitled to know what’s in their medical records.

A June 19 letter from NL Health Services quietly ended automatic parental access to children’s health information. From age 12 to 15, parents now need the child’s permission to see the records. At 16, the teenager takes full control.

Sarah James Furlong, a concerned parent, took to social media in a bid to raise awareness of the apparent government assault on parental rights. Furlong is calling on parents to contact the Minister of Health, Lela Evans, to reverse the decision.

“I respect children’s rights and understand the importance of privacy,” Furlong said in a Facebook post. “However, I believe parents have a fundamental responsibility to protect, support, and advocate for their children—and that responsibility doesn’t end when a child turns 12.”

The move fits a pattern. Newfoundland and Labrador already lets students in Grade 7 and up change their names and pronouns at school without parental consent. Now the same province is extending that logic into medical records.

You bet it fits a pattern.
