Toronto schools list local trans-friendly resources, CAMH rightfully omitted |
|
The Toronto school board has just posted a set of guidelines for accommodating transgender children and teens in Toronto schools:
Toronto District School Board (Canada):
“TDSB Guidelines for the Accommodation of Transgender and Gender Non-Conforming Students and Staff”

Toronto Sun:

They list a number of great local resources in Toronto, and I am very pleased to announce they list ”From Within,” hosted on this site:

The Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, the global epicenter of regressive ideologies about gender variance and home to the world’s largest reparative therapy clinic aimed at “curing” transgender youth, is notably absent from their home town school system’s list. Despite this, the American Psychiatric Association continues to let key CAMH personnel like Kenneth Zucker set APA policy regarding trans adults and children.
