I read one article just now, but it sounds different.
The government’s changes to Policy 713, the education policy on gender identity, now make it mandatory to get parental consent before using a child under 16’s chosen name and pronoun —even verbally — in class, according to Education Minister Bill Hogan.
And if a child says no to involving their parents, Hogan said they should be directed to a school psychologist or social worker to come up with a plan to do so.
This is reasonable IMO. If I’m reading this correctly, the children aren’t being forcibly outed. Also I believe conversion therapy is illegal now, so in theory, this would be healthy.
Frankly, I would want children to have access to supportive parents OR qualified social workers.
EDIT: It’s not different that the US if you read other articles
According to someone on a discord I was on, they got called to the principal and the principal said “don’t be mad at me, but this is the rules” and made the kid call their own parents and say it.

That’s not different at all, and yes you read it wrong. They are being forcibly outed.

Right? And I expected it was more of a “we’ll call your parents” situation. If they’re forcing kids to make the call that’s fucking torture
