Transphobia in Toronto

A firestorm of criticism has erupted in response to an ad that recently appeared in the National Post and Toronto Sun. Placed by Charles McVety's so-called Institute for Canada Values (ICV), the ad features a wide-eyed young girl accompanied by the phrase "Please! Don't confuse me," followed by, "I'm a girl. Don't teach me to question if I'm a boy, transexual [sic.], transgendered, intersexed or two-spirited [sic.]"
The ad attacks a new Toronto District School Board (TDSB) resource guide that provides teachers with an age-appropriate approach to sex education that incorporates both sexual and gender diversity.
