The Assembly of First Nations says the policies are \u0022discriminatory,\u0022 \u0022dangerously misguided\u0022 and \u0022a clear violation of basic human rights.\u0022
“Further, this policy puts 2SLGBTQQIA+ youth in danger of being outed in unsupportive environments or being misgendered at school, both of which can have harmful consequences.
“Considering the high suicide rates among First Nations, especially within the 2SLGBTQQIA+ community, schools should be safe havens, not places where identities are subject to parental approval,” said George. “This new policy undermines our inherent rights to be who the Creator made us to be.” George’s New Brunswick counterpart on the AFN two-spirit council, Chief Allan Polchies of St. Mary’s First Nation, says these policies are part of a pattern that speak to “the government’s ongoing effort to marginalize our most vulnerable.”Article contentdisproportionately impacts 2SLGBTQQIA+ students, denying them of the basic human dignity they deserve — a move that can only be described as an act of transphobia,” said Polchies.
With Saskatchewan and New Brunswick’s policies now in force, and other jurisdictions now considering similar policies, the AFN says governments must reverse course to protect youth. “In a time when society should be moving toward inclusivity and understanding, these policies are a dangerous step backward … and set a harmful precedent that will adversely affect young people nationwide,” said the AFN.
