With the help of his mother, he adopted a female identity, began taking female hormones, and grew breasts. Two year later, however, at the age of 14, he changed his mind. He decided that he didn’t want to be a girl after all. But his body had already been permanently changed by the female hormones.

In a letter submitted to all mainstream media outlets yesterday, Peel Director of Education Tony Pontes was unambiguous that a request from parents to have their children opt-out would not be accommodated. “Where the work in the classroom is about inclusion—whatever form that inclusion may take—any of the protected grounds in the Human Rights Code—we will not provide religious or any other accommodation,” he stated. Jack Fonseca of Campaign Life Coalition called the move a “shocking attempt by the state to annex parental authority.” “Contrary to what this director says, there is no such thing as a human right to force your personal beliefs
