Logan Oxenham’s win has been called historic, as he’s believed to be the first openly transgender person elected at the provincial level in Manitoba, and possibly in Canada
The 46-year-old’s win has also been called historic, as he’s believed to be the first openly transgender person elected at the provincial level in“I feel honoured,” Oxenham said in a recent interview about his election win.
Since then, a small group of transgender men and women and non-binary individuals have put their names on ballots. An even smaller number have been elected. The New Brunswick and Saskatchewan governments recently moved to require children under 16 to have parental consent to change their names or pronouns at school.
The Tories campaigned on stronger “parental rights” in schools, but did not elaborate on what that meant.“Their voices are the least heard throughout this time of regressive policies, but we should really be listening to the youth for guidance on these things,” he said.
