Nuevo Brunswick

MédicoSin protecciones para los niños

Nuevo Brunswick no tiene una ley que restrinja los bloqueadores de la pubertad, las hormonas del sexo opuesto o las cirugías para menores. En todo Canadá, los datos del Canadian Institute for Health Information muestran mastectomías dobles en menores de tan solo 14 años. Nuevo Brunswick cubre el coste a través de su plan público de salud. La Policy 713 se revisó con efecto el 1 de enero de 2025. El departamento dice que la revisión cambia el uso informal de un nombre de pila elegido y de los pronombres, y cómo las escuelas se comunican con las familias.

Schools: School rules on preferred first names were tightened, then walked back.

Lo que la ley permite

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

A person 16 or older, born in New Brunswick or living there for at least three months, can apply to change the sex on a birth certificate. They need a written statement of their gender identity and a statement from a health professional. A parent can apply for a child 15 or younger.

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.

Escuelas. La Policy 713 se revisó con efecto el 1 de enero de 2025. El departamento dice que la revisión cambia el uso informal del nombre de pila elegido de un alumno y de los pronombres, y las expectativas de comunicación con las familias. El comunicado no reproduce el texto nuevo. Un comunicado de junio de 2023 citaba una versión anterior que exigía el consentimiento de los padres antes de usar oficialmente un nombre de pila preferido para un alumno menor de 16.
