Mr. Moe recently told reporters: “When I was asked a question and provided a response on the changeroom policy here in the province, I [said] it was going to be the first order of business. I misspoke. It's not.”
Mr. Moe has stated that he will now consult with individual school boards, which currently set their own policy and make up their own rules regarding the protection of girls in private female spaces – such as changerooms and washrooms. This patchwork approach means that girls in one town may be protected, while girls in another town will be subjected to potential humiliation and abuse in schools that embrace gender theory.
Gender theory holds that children should be free to use the private spaces of their choice – whatever aligns with their perceived “gender identity” du jour. And so, biological males, by merely claiming to be female, can freely enter female changerooms and washrooms. This violates the privacy and dignity of women and girls and poses a threat to their safety and the security of their persons.
When the Saskatchewan Parents’ Bill of Rights was passed last year, it seemed like the province was moving in the right direction – following the path of common sense and upholding basic human rights. But Premier Moe’s recent waffling has thrown everything into question.
We need to reach out to Mr. Moe, along with all MLAs, and demand that Saskatchewan girls be protected right now. We need to urge our elected representatives to do the right thing and continue in the positive, pro-parent, pro-child trajectory this province had begun to follow.
