Canadian High School Student Suspended For Saying There Are Only 2 Genders And Arrested After Protesting Transgender Use Of Girls' Bathroom
The transgender movement has been picking up speed in many Western countries, resulting in a Canadian high-school student being suspended and arrested for protesting the idea of transgender people being granted access to girls' bathrooms.
There have been several transgender scandals on American soil, such as William Thomas posing as a woman to swim on the University of Pennsylvania's swim team and steal medals from female swimmers. It was recently revealed that he exposed his genitals to women in the locker room, which would be considered sexual assault in any other situation but because he calls himself transgender, this is permitted. The latest news to come out of Canada indicates that things are even worse in our northern neighboring country. A high school student was suspended and arrested for standing up against transgender individuals infiltrating the girls' bathroom.
Canadian High School Student Suspended and Arrested for Protesting Against Transgender Use of Girls' Bathrooms
In Renfrew, Ontario, a 16-year-old student named Josh Alexander was suspended from St. Joseph's Catholic High School in November 2022 when he said in class that there are only 2 genders. He was told he wouldn't be allowed back in school for the rest of the year unless he retracted his statement; administrators also told him his presence on campus would be "detrimental to the physical and mental well-being" to transgender students.
“Offence is obviously defined by the offended. I expressed my religious beliefs in class and it spiraled out of control,” Josh said. “Not everybody’s going to like that. That doesn’t make me a bully. It doesn’t mean I’m harassing anybody. They express their beliefs and I express mine. Mine obviously don’t fit the narrative.”
He also said that his comments came during a class discussion about "male students using female washrooms, gender dysphoria and male breastfeeding." All the students were sharing their opinions, as was the teacher. At this point, Josh said there are only two genders and "you were either born either a male or a female and that got me into trouble."
Josh's lawyer, James Kitchen, says that the school has deemed his statements as "bullying" and they are bringing the incident to an Ontario human rights tribunal for religious discrimination. After his suspension in November, Josh organized a protest to make it clear that he and other students disagreed with the idea of male students using the girls' bathroom because they call themselves transgender. When he showed up to the school to protest and attempt to attend classes again, he was arrested on site by two police officers and charged with trespassing.
The school administrators have not yet commented on the events that have transpired, but Josh and his lawyers will be fighting this in court. It's frightening to think that a Western country such as Canada, which is supposed to be one of the freest societies in the world, is targeting students because of beliefs that were once accepted by the entire country without question just a few years ago.
