"An Edmonton Catholic School Board trustee says transgender students should be considered as having a mental illness.
"I see that as a mental disorder, my faith sees it as a mental disorder," Larry Kowalczyk said in an interview with CBC News Tuesday prior to a meeting of the school board.
At the meeting, trustees voted to refer a decision on an "inclusive community" policy for the city's Catholic schools, a policy prompted by complaints over the treatment of a transgender student, to their next meeting.
