Medical care for minorsNo protections for kids

New Brunswick has no law restricting puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones or surgeries for minors. Across Canada, Canadian Institute for Health Information data show double mastectomies on minors as young as 14. New Brunswick covers the cost through its public health plan.

Schools — names and pronounsName and pronoun rules changed

New Brunswick changed its school rule on names and pronouns, effective 1 January 2025. The change covers informal use of a student's chosen first name and pronouns, and what schools tell families. The announcement does not quote the new wording. An earlier version, from June 2023, required a parent's consent before a preferred first name was used officially for a student under 16.

ID documentsStatement plus a health professional's letter

PrisonsMales can be housed in women's prisons

A male who identifies as a woman can be housed in a women's federal prison, even if his body is male and his identification still says male, unless a health or safety problem cannot be resolved. A federal count of 99 gender-diverse prisoners, from December 2017 to March 2020, found that 62 percent were males who identify as women. At the end of that count, 67 percent of that group were still in men's prisons. New Brunswick has no federal women's prison. Women sentenced federally from New Brunswick go to Nova Institution for Women in Truro.

New Brunswick ist Teil Kanadas. Siehe Kanada.

New Brunswick hat kein Gesetz, das Pubertätsblocker, gegengeschlechtliche Hormone oder Operationen bei Minderjährigen einschränkt. In ganz Kanada zeigen Daten des Canadian Institute for Health Information doppelte Mastektomien an Minderjährigen schon im Alter von 14. New Brunswick übernimmt die Kosten über den öffentlichen Gesundheitsplan.

Schulen. Policy 713 wurde mit Wirkung zum 1. Januar 2025 überarbeitet. Das Ministerium sagt, die Überarbeitung ändere die informelle Verwendung eines vom Schüler gewählten Vornamens und der Pronomen sowie die Erwartungen an die Kommunikation mit Familien. Die Mitteilung legt den neuen Wortlaut nicht dar. Eine Mitteilung vom Juni 2023 zitierte eine frühere Fassung, die die Einwilligung der Eltern verlangte, bevor ein bevorzugter Vorname bei einem Schüler unter 16 amtlich verwendet wurde.
