Joint Oireachtas Committee on Future of Mental Health Care

Mental Health Services: Discussion (Resumed)

1:30 pm

Mr. Dylan Donohue:

I will respond to the question on the 20% of students whose names and pronouns are not respected by teachers. From speaking to other transgender people, I would say that in nine out of ten cases, teachers refusing to call them the correct name or use the correct pronoun just do not understand how detrimental it can be to the students' mental health to call them by the wrong name or use the wrong pronoun.
