Living in a 1st world country means that we have all of our basic human rights upheld, right? What if I told you that wasn't true? The right to be able to go to the washroom is somewhat upheld everywhere. Schools, businesses, and workplaces, but it's not upheld completely. You see, in the day and age we live in, members of our society are finally coming out and accepting who they are. For example, the U.S just legalized same-sex marriage, and Canada has just recently passed a bill (Bill C-16) ensuring that Transgender people's rights are upheld just as well as everybody else. Although Bill C-16 has been passed, not every workplace or school has started to provide Trans people with what they need. The right to go into the washroom that corresponds with their gender is an example. For example, a Transgender boy in high school, who identifies as male, looks male, and is referred to as male, is still forced to use the female washroom. Not only does this confuse the public around him, but it also brings on a sense of gender dysphoria, which can lead to mental health problems. This petition is to be brought to the principal of Bur Oak Secondary School, in hope that he considers allowing the Trans and Non-binary folks at the school to go into their washroom of choice. Please sign to help me in my journey to make our high school more inclusive.

as a nonbinary person I would love the rights to go to the bathroom without being bullied. This petition will not affect me specifically, but I want to be a part of that freedom for others.

I'm transgender and I wish I didn't have to use the girls bathroom or the locker room. I wish I didn't have to feel excluded by every cismale at my school because they consider me a girl. I hate it. I hope they let you use the bathroom you want and other students too.

I agree strongly that transgender or gender neutral, etc, should be able to use their desired washroom without doubt, what happened to equality, kids?

I hope this petition works out! Everyone should be allowed to use the bathroom, no matter what's between their legs or gender they identify as

I agree with this 100%. Being trans myself i agree that i, the same as any other male, should have the right to use the male bathroom/washroom.

I do think that transgenders should be able to use the washroom they prefer rather than their original identity.

It takes courage for transgenders and non binaries to stand up for what he or she believes should be changed. This is a great way to help those who are struggling!

I respect your efforts as an agent of change. I support your contribution to the equality rights of your peers (and yourself). Good luck!
