Sask. NDP MLA says his trans children were the target of Premier Moe’s proposed change room policy [Video]

Saskatchewan NDP MLA Jared Clarke tore into Premier Scott Moe during a speech in the legislature on Tuesday, criticizing Moe’s actions during the recent provincial election campaign and demanding an apology for a proposed policy Clarke believes was targeted at his children.

“[The Saskatchewan Party’s] legacy is attacking vulnerable kids. Prove me wrong,” Clarke said.

Clarke’s speech during question period Tuesday lasted roughly 13 minutes, much of it spent taking Moe to task for a policy the Saskatchewan Party leader touted during the campaign as his “first order of business” if re-elected. Moe said his government would establish a policy restricting students’ use of change rooms in schools to their sex assigned at birth.

Throughout the announcement Moe frequently used the term “biological boys,” which can be used to imply that transgender people are still their assigned sex at birth, despite their identity.
