Canadian Christian Fined Massively for Posting There Are Only Two Sexes
A former Canadian school board trustee — an outspoken Christian — is facing nearly $1 million in fines for expressing on social media his belief that there are only two sexes, male and female.
In mid-February, the British Columbia Human Rights Tribunal ordered former Chilliwack Board of Education trustee Barry Neufeld to pay $750,000 for allegedly discriminating against LGBT-identified teachers and staff members in the Chilliwack School District.

The tribunal decided the massive fine will be used to compensate LGBT-identified employees who have sustained “injury to their dignity, feelings, and self-respect” because of Neufeld’s remarks.
With the number of LGBT-identified people on staff from 2017 to 2022 ranging from 45 to 163, the tribunal is expecting each impacted employee to receive somewhere between $4, and $16, from the fine levied against Neufeld.
The former trustee, who is now appealing the tribunal’s ruling, has also been ordered to pay $442 to an unnamed plaintiff identified as “Teacher C” to compensate the former teacher’s lost wages for attending a hearing about Neufeld’s personal views.
