Happening to my son ( a male) too. He’s simply gay. I agree with every word. Solidarity.

Powerfully written - beautifully stated. My best to you and your family and there are many people on your side who are being shouted down, threatened and silence. I video recorded the Board meeting because I KNEW they would take it down. These enablers of medical child abuse are on the wrong side of history.

Shannon, I'm so sorry you are dealing with this. You nailed a ton on complications, but as shocking as they are, they are not even half of the complications that comes from females that medically transition.

Trans adults like myself have started to SCREAM to stop this and if you need us to stand by you. Reach out anytime. www.trevoices.org

Excellent letter. More parents across the province and the country need to be made aware of what school boards are indoctrinating our children with!!!

Your story is heartbreaking and I hope only the best for your family. Thank you for sharing and exposing the reality of what the board censorship protects when their paramount interest should be the wellbeing of all students.

SHANNON: you might find this article very informative. It's the agenda of what they are pushing on our kids at school. It is lengthy but worth the read. It explains SEL developed by CASLE which they've been implementing fir over 2 years...its disgusting the duplicity of our government and the money that is poured into this nonsense

it is a powerful analogy to liken what is currently happening 'in the name of good,' to the historical legacy of residential schools.

I hope you are heard.

Wow. What a gut wrenching and beautifully written piece. I stand firmly by your side; what we are doing to children is abuse. My heart breaks for your daughter and all the children who have been groomed by adults they should have been able to trust, to mutilate their bodies at the altar of trans. Carolyn Bujowski was 100 correct and I hope she gets to share her message elsewhere.

Shannon, would explain what you meant by: – which the institutions of education, by providing her books like the one you have refused to talk about, and by affirming social transition, and by keeping that social transition secret from me, her parent,.......... I am not understanding exactly what was kept secret from you, and how.

As a grandparent, this is freaking me out.

Powerful letter. I had no idea this stuff had made such deep roots in the region. I hope someone listens and we start seeing real pushback.

My daughter started getting into the stuff too because she's a bit of a social outcast and found a sense of belonging in the online communities. It very much reminded me of being a goth kid back in the day, so I didn't think too much of it.

But when the pandemic started I saw her mental health spiral and I feel the stuff played a role. My response has been working on my own mental health so I can listen better and be more present with her. Luckily she's pulling out of it, but not entirely, since that's where her friends are.

I can't imagine having to watch it go as far as it has within your family.

I'm local and don't do much with my time. If you ever need another perspective, or just someone to listen, shoot me a message. Always down for shooting the shit and lending an ear!
