https://lnkd.in/gkZbpmjA This Rainbow health Report sets out the Road Map in Ontario for Transgender Education in Schools. Please read. When parents are told it is not in schools. It is the only education your child needs to learn to not get expelled. If you are interested in knowing the ROAD MAP please look at the link and rainbowhealth more generally. Here is just two items. "Ensure non-gender-specific facilities are universally available in spaces that have historically been sex-segregated, including but not limited to: washrooms, change rooms, shelter spaces, summer camps, university dorms and other overnight accommodations." "Support research initiatives to address the knowledge gaps identified in this report— especially among underserved communities and for children ages zero to six." AGES ZERO TO SIX

How can CME writers drive change in the evolving medical landscape? In the latest episode of Write Medicine, Caitlyn Tivy, DPT, and I discuss how CME/CPD professionals can influence an education shift toward women's health and address care for LGBTQ+ individuals. She shares that in the past year, the conversation has gained momentum, with the NIH pushing initiatives to require researchers to consider the impact of sex on their results. Now, researchers are compelled to justify the use of only male subjects, requiring sound reasons for their choices. However, implementing these changes will take time, with estimates spanning at least a decade for medical schools and even longer for healthcare providers already in practice. Listen in on your preferred platform to explore how writers can be agents of change and have the potential to bridge the gaps in traditional medical education: https://lnkd.in/gj2r8wGN #CMEwriters #inclusive #womenshealth

Navigating Gender Identity with Kids 🌈 As parents, educators, and caregivers, it's essential to create a supportive environment where our children can express their gender identities freely. The infographic below provides valuable insights on how to engage with kids about gender identity and expression! By fostering open communication and understanding, we empower our children to embrace their identities and express themselves confidently. Together, let’s build a supportive community for every child. #GenderIdentity #Parenting #ChildDevelopment #Support #Education #Empowerment University of Alberta Faculty of Nursing Women and Children's Health Research Institute One Child Every Child

The new "Parental Rights" policy in Alberta is out. The "leader" of Alberta has introduced changes regarding the affirming of identities at school, requiring youth 15 and under to obtain parental consent before their identities can be affirmed and validated in their schools. Children aged 16-17 are exempt from this requirement, although parents need to be notified, which means OUTING those youth as well. In addition, they proposed a number of new policies involving transgender adults and youth, from restrictions on trans affirming care to participation in sport. Make no mistake, this is a tremendous and disgusting attack on the rights of 2SLGBTQ+ human beings in our province and, even worse yet, an attack on already incredibly vulnerable youth in our community. It lacks empirical evidence and, in fact, contradicts the findings of research in this field. Please be a voice, please inform yourself, and please be part of creating a safer world for these kids. For all the gender-diverse youth out there, today and every day we are sending an enormous amount of support your way, and ALWAYS trust that there are SO many people who support and will fight for you in our world! We will fight for you and you are not alone. #transrightsarehumanrights #transyouthmatter #humanrights #SupportOurYouth
