对于省教育厅新出台的学生性别选择的指导纲要，需要你的声音。

蓝颜知己

今年1月13日，省教育厅出台了Creating Learning Environments that Respect Diverse Sexual Orientations, Gender Identities and Gender Expressions，要求全省各school board 在今年3月底前出台各自具体的实施细则。
这个指导纲要的英文版可参见：https://informedalbertans.wordpress.com/aboutguidelines/

这个纲要对于家长和学校的影响是什么？
First, note the wording at the beginning of the section: “For the purpose of accommodating the diverse needs of students and staff in a school, an individual’s self-identification is the sole measure of their sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression” (emphasis mine).

I would take this to mean that anyone at any time is within their rights to decide, for themselves, that they identify with whatever gender they choose. There are no constraints, age restrictions or limits placed on the statement.
学生可在任何时候自由选择、主张、宣称自己的性别，而且这是唯一的评判标准/方式。

For example, would it be a concern that your Grade 1 girl could find a Grade 6 boy in the female washroom or change-room if he decides to self-identify as a female that day?  Given the wording of the current guidelines, the Grade 6 boy would have a protected right to be there, no matter whether he is there legitimately (as a biological male who gender identifies as female) or whether he decides to use the guise of gender identification that particular day as female for whatever other purposes he chooses. The fact is, if a staff member would question his purposes, could he easily and justifiably accuse them of discrimination and having his protected rights violated?  Is it really worth the risk to see how far K-12 students could abuse this “freedom”?

例如：你一年级的女儿有一天会在女厕所或女更衣室中见到一个6年级的男生，这仅仅是因为他当天宣称自己是女性，而如果老师对他这种行为有疑问的话，老师可能面临歧视的指控。

估计快换政府

亦非台

太自由了，有一天偶打算买耗子，只要宣称自己有10米林就可以了吗？

这是个弱智的政府

谢谢各位关注，因为本人英文水平有限，我没有一字一句地阅读Guidelines原文，引用的是Theresa女士的BLOG，她曾是一名学校老师，她在她的BLOG中详细说明了作为家长、学校老师对于这个Guidelines不科学、不严谨的质疑。

接下来的贴子会附上Theresa女士提议的作法，即“你的声音”。

蓝颜知己

在Post她的提议前再附上一个说明，那就是也许会有人认为：虽然学生有自主权Claims宣称自己的性别，但他/她若能用专用的厕所和更衣室，也不会对他人造成影响。
  Z: U( f7 Y( B6 Q5 r回答是：
# F' m) ~& M# ~: qthe section about washrooms and change-rooms from pages 9-10 of the provincial guidelines document. It says that any person can use the "washroom and change-room facilities that are congruent with their gender identity. This applies during school time and school related activities on and off school property (such as field trips and athletic events)".

One of the suggestions for safety is to use non-gendered, single-stall washrooms (although many schools may not have these washrooms and could not afford to pay for them).  However, the fourth point in this section also says that, "The use of a non-gendered, single-stall washroom is a matter of choice for students, staff, volunteers or visiting family, and [b]not a compulsory requirement."  This means that no one needs to use the single stall washrooms if they don't want to.
" ?5 @" c; S/ K  a  \" ^- @
学生可自主CLaim宣称自己的性别，同时拥有自主选择厕所（更衣室）的自主权，即他愿意上哪个是他的权利，他人无权质疑、干涉。学校可设立无性别厕所（更衣室），但不可强求这类学生使用。
而且这个条款不仅适用于学校，还包括与学校活动有关的场所，如Field  Trip，体育运动会等等。

如果你也认为省教育厅这个Guidelines相当不严谨，将会对我们的孩子的成长（三观）的建立产生不良影响、指导，并有可能严重影响孩子们的学校生活，请发出你的声音：

2 R, W# ?! _0 E" Z- tPhone the Provincial Government.  The Office of the Premier’s phone number is 780 427 2251. I called and asked to be transferred to the Office of the Education Minister. The person there was able to listen to my concerns and said they will be recorded and given to the appropriate person. It was surprisingly easy. I’m not sure who exactly will receive the comments, but hopefully if more people phone, concerns about the issue will be more difficult to ignore.

) D! n5 Q' a% H7 |5 l5 qWhen it comes to requiring LGBTQ school board policies in Alberta, it is time for a new approach.
! m9 n+ J" T# K# i6 b
Children should be taught that we must show respect to all people. Period. I believe that as soon as we begin to qualify the “all”, we risk drawing lines, defining categories and creating labels and division. Children must learn that a right to respect comes alongside a responsibility to show it.
3 G- M! S/ n  ?) x+ a1 q+ T6 ]0 _. v
We are diverse in a multitude of ways and our diversity gives us an opportunity to grow and learn from each other. Belonging and acceptance are nurtured when we help students look for what connects us, instead of divides us. A goal of our education system should be to encourage the development of citizens who are able to sit down with anyone, no matter how seemingly different from them, and be able to find some commonality in their human experience that connects them.

Based on these beliefs, it is my suggestion that school boards not be required to create and differentiate specific policies along lines of sexual orientation and gender identity.
. H+ }, W( z* W
5 t2 c" G( B" S3 E% {2 y5 i7 J: IInstead, the provincial government should ensure all school boards have a policy in place that helps ensure their schools are welcoming, caring, respectful and safe learning environments for ALL students. Period. Furthermore, instead of dealing with specific accommodations for the issue of sexual orientation and gender identity on a policy level (i.e. pronouns, washroom/change room use, participation in sports teams, etc.), these accommodations and supports should be offered on a case-by-case basis, in consultation among all concerned parties, including the student, guardians, school staff and medical professionals.

6 @2 c; G$ Y* h/ k; `% J8 QThis approach is consistent with the procedures already existing in schools to provide individualized supports and accommodations to a tremendous variety of emotional, physical, cognitive, social or learning needs that support vulnerable, at-risk students in our schools every day.

' T" N  j* t& ~9 M$ D9 NFor example, consider the number of students diagnosed with autism, depression, anxiety, oppositional defiant disorder, mild cognitive disabilities, attention deficit disorder, learning disabilities, those with hearing impairments, mobility challenges, etc.
8 p+ T9 K6 R' E/ A- c+ B
These ALL represent populations of students who are vulnerable and at-risk, yet school staff strive to effectively, compassionately and sensitively deal with providing supports every single day, without specific school board policies in place for each of these struggling groups.

"Children should be taught that we must show respect to all people."不只是尊重其他性别，也应该尊重‘男性女性’吧。
8 B$ v9 S- v5 R( j- j+ k6 C) d虽然有无性别厕所，可是‘不能强迫’其他性别使用无性别厕所。所以无性别厕所不解决任何问题。
+ h* h' E3 z; b% R! U! z另外students diagnosed with autism, depression, anxiety, oppositional defiant disorder不应该跟其他性别等同。无性别人士估计一定不同意的，这是显然认为‘男性，女性’才是没病的，那些人都是有病的。
Respect for everyone should continue to be an expectation in all our schools, and in our society.应该也包括尊重正常男女。
