Mandate that schools use trans students' chosen names and pronouns.

Petition Details

Some schools fail to acknowledge the preferred names and pronouns of trans pupils, which can lead to misgendering, distress, and a lack of acceptance in the educational environment.

Additional Information

Requiring schools to respect students' chosen names and pronouns can affirm their identity and promote a supportive atmosphere. We believe this policy would improve mental health outcomes, enhance academic performance, and reduce instances of bullying. Educators play a vital role in modelling respect and inclusivity, which benefits the entire student body.
