Following is a link to
the front page article of the Ottawa Citizen on Tuesday, October 19,
2021, “NEEDS OF TRANS YOUTH”. In the article, Dr. Margaret Lawson, an
endocrinologist at CHEO, draws attention to the need for timely mental
health support for transgender youth. She has been working at CHEO with
trans youths for 16 years and notes that with greater support for trans
youth they may have improved mental health as adults.
On
October 20th the front page article reported on a B.C. man traveling
across Canada to protest hormone therapy for trans youth. Ottawa
Carleton District School Board advised the man would be demonstating at
Broadview Public School. Many parents, students and supporters for
trans people turned out to reassure trans youth that they are loved.
Here is a link to the full article and a youtube interview with some of
those in attendance.
