Shawn Rouse and his transgender son, Levi, consulted with New Brunswick’s child and youth advocate about the province's controversial gender identity policy in schools.
Rouse said he wanted to know everything that was going on with his children as they grew into teenagers, but came to understand they needed a "zone of privacy" to be able to go through the process of figuring themselves out.But with the changes that New Brunswick's Education Minister Bill Hogan made toon sexual orientation and gender-identity in June, things might not have played out this way.

"Parents are often the most important conversation a child has when they're coming out," Rouse said, adding that it's important that they feel ready and not rushed.
