A school district in Vermont claimed that if schools begin honoring a day that celebrates those who detransitioned after changing their gender (well, attempting to), calling it “Detransition Awareness Day” would be hurtful and offensive to “transgender” students.

Townhall obtained documents from Parents Defending Education who’d initially requested the “Detransition Awareness Day.” Supposedly, a parent emailed the school board on February 6, 2023 asking to add a “Detransition Awareness Day” to the school calendar. The parent proposed March 12 for the celebration.

Townhall reported that the parent also asked that the book “Irreversible Damage,” a story by Abigail Shrier that details how harmful transgender procedures are, be available to students “on an easel atop the shelves in the HS library” in the Essex Westford School District in Vermont.
