Canadian actress Tatiana Maslany, known for her role in the “She-Hulk” series, recently criticized a new parental rights law in Saskatchewan that requires school staff to obtain parental permission before using a student’s preferred name or gender identity. Maslany called the law an “overreach” and stated that it shouldn’t be up to parents to dictate how a child identifies. She emphasized the importance of listening to and empowering children to know themselves.
Maslany, who was honored at the Canadian Walk of Fame, has been vocal about social issues, including the war in Gaza, demanding a cease-fire and an end to funding of the conflict. She used the platform to advocate for children’s rights and the need for governments to take action.
Debates surrounding the use of preferred names and pronouns without parental consent have been ongoing, with differing approaches in school districts in the United States. Critics of the transgender movement have raised concerns about surgeries and hormone treatments for minors.
Maslany’s remarks highlight the ongoing discussions around LGBTQ+ rights and the role of parents in supporting their children’s identities. As a public figure, she continues to use her platform to advocate for social justice issues and push for positive change.
