Tatiana Maslany, known for her role in the “She-Hulk” series, has criticized a new parental rights law in Saskatchewan, Canada, that requires parental consent before using a student’s preferred name or gender identity in schools. Maslany described the law as an “absurd” and an “overreach,” stating that children have rights and knowledge of themselves that should be respected. She believes that children should have the freedom to identify themselves and that parents should not have control over that.
Maslany, who has been vocal about social issues, also addressed the war in Gaza during a recent event where a plaque was unveiled in her honor at the Canadian Walk of Fame. She demanded a cease-fire and urged the government to stop funding a genocide.
Debates over using preferred names and pronouns without parental consent have been ongoing, with some school districts cracking down on the practice while others allow it. Critics of the transgender movement have raised concerns about surgeries and hormone treatments for minors.
Maslany’s comments have sparked discussions about the balance between parental rights and children’s autonomy, as well as the role of schools in respecting students’ gender identities. The “She-Hulk” star’s advocacy for children’s rights and social justice continues to make waves in the entertainment industry and beyond.
