【特稿】溫校局跨性政策的流弊及諮詢程序的偏袒

 

2014 年 6 月 16 日晚,溫市校局以 7 比 2 通過跨性別政策,此政策最大的問題是在於建基在一個迷思幻象上,這迷思幻象就是「人的性別是憑思想感覺,不是按生理構造」。政策既不是建基事實根據,而是憑內在感覺,政策內容自然就會衍生出許多複雜的問題。


首先,我要說明我個人的立場,希望也是其他家長的立場,就是我們關心的不但是自己的孩子,也關心在性別、或性向掙扎中的少數學童。這些心理情緒上有掙扎的孩子,應該給予他們耐性、體恤、接納和開導,並顧及他們的感受,作出個別私下的處理。然而此政策指明要把那些公開說是同性戀、變性人的學生及別人認為他們是同性戀或變性人的學生和自己不知是否是同性戀、變性人的學生,都劃分出來,把他們納歸一個類別,放在大光燈下,加以「保護」、「支持」、「歡迎」和「祝賀」。這是這政策中我所關注的重要一點,因為這樣粗略地處理心靈有掙扎的學童,或被人誤會是屬於這群體的學童,或不知是否屬於這類別的學童,有意無意地把他們從其他學童中挑選分隔出來,會把他們推向一個痛苦和困惑的境地。我仍然認為,要校園安全,學校應該有明確的校規,校方、家長及學童都應清楚知道,劃一的準則,每個人都必須遵守,讓教職員可以按著執行。


當然,我也十分明白家長的憂慮,因為支持此政策的校委,為要讓這政策速速通過,在 4 月 10 日編印,5 月 29 日第三場公聽會以後,6 月 6 日、10 日及 13 日,共改了三次,最後一次,登上網兩天後立即刪除,而校局投票通過的,是 6 月 10 日的一份,內容換湯不換藥。例如此份草稿第八項有關廁所和更衣室一欄,確是有校局儘量提供單一中性廁所一條,但卻沒有刪除學生可按自己覺得是男是女自選廁所和更衣室一條,所以仍沒有解決家長們的憂慮,也令校園安全問題變得更惡劣。


說到這政策的通過,全無民主程序可言,公聽會開了三場,校局批准發言的 93 人中, 38 名是校局安排的同性戀社群中人士,有是為變性人服務的專業人士,有是特殊利益活躍份子,其餘剩下的 55 名家長或普通市民中,支持此政策者只得幾名,其餘全都反對,並且有接近一百名輪候名單中的家長仍沒有發言機會,6,594 個簽名的請願書呈交校局,要求當局暫停通過此政策,直至有全面公平的諮詢。但 Patti Bacchus 和偉景的校委,對支持和反對政策人士明顯是厚此薄彼,支持的講者中有兩名雖然沒有在安排當日出席,下場還可補上,但反對的講者若不能出席,則當作自動棄權;支持者若是非溫哥華居民,仍可發言及入坐,但反對者則不能;支持人士顯然比反對者出席數目少,16 號校局正式投票當日,會議廳守門人一見支持者坐滿後,則只許同等數目的反對人士入內,縱然會議廳仍然有空座,反對者卻要留在外面不得其門而入。反對此政策的家長基本是學童的母親,也有少部份是父親,但都是受過高等教育的和平人士,他們即使受到不公平對待,也絕無粗暴舉動,但校局竟在最後幾個會議中,用納稅人的金錢,另請外來保安員,而 16 日校局公開會議中,更派四名市警駐守,過後還通知媒體及時評員,把家長抹黑成暴徒的形象,不但濫用納稅人的資源,對家長們更是一個極大的侮辱。


另外一個全無民主、厚此薄彼的例子,就是主席 Patti Bacchus 容許所有支持此政策的校委,無時間限制的講話,但輪到 Ken Denike 要發表意見時,他說不到幾句 Patti Bacchus 就立即插嘴干預,不容他繼續說下去,作為會議主席,在一個公開會議中如此無禮失儀的表現,實在叫人難以接受。


偉景校委在開會時一套,向外所說的卻是另外一套。本人由 4 月 13 日從網上發現這暗藏在第三委員會議程第二項中的跨性政策草案開始,直至昨晚公開會議中通過政策草案的每一過程,其中的卑劣的手法和不停對社會大眾的誤導,我都在場目賭一切,令我覺得能向讀者僑胞清楚客觀的陳述,以正視聽,是我該盡的責任。
