A Saskatchewan legislature member claims his transgender children were targeted in an election campaign promise about school change rooms. Premier Scott Moe announced plans to ban 'biological boys' from girls' change rooms, a move not in the party's platform, leading to demands for an apology.
A Saskatchewan legislature member says his transgender children were targeted in an election campaign promise about school change rooms and he wants an apology from Premier Scott Moe.
Moe had touted the proposal as his first order of business, but it was not in his party’s campaign platform. Moe’s office said in an emailed statement the premier and former Education Minister Jeremy Cockrill at no point identified the children. Moe told reporters a week after the Saskatchewan Party was re-elected the ban would no longer be a legislative priority.
He said it wasn’t easy when his children came out as transgender, and that he and his wife had to do a lot of learning, reading, talking and thinking.
