Phil Tank: Transphobia in Saskatoon suffers from fundamental flaw yxe
Plus, despite a packed city council chamber last week to show and voice support for the policy, the actual transgender and non-binary population in Saskatoon is, indeed, minuscule., about 0.41 per cent of people aged 15 or older in Saskatoon and area identified as transgender or non-binary, higher than the overall share in Saskatchewan and Canada .
Plus, people who are often shamed and ridiculed for their gender identity seem unlikely to undress indiscreetly in a public change room. Yet one grandfather wrote city council to say his family would no longer attend or support city facilities due to “past and recent events … regarding genital exposure by the opposite sex.”
Regardless of whether you believe a naked transgender Rosa Parks is prancing around change rooms to assert gender identity rights the way the American civil rights activist did for race by refusing to relinquish her seat on a bus, it’s difficult to see an easy, painless solution.
