It’s not like these experts and doctors post a list of evidence for how their decision is made. I don’t really know what you expect for me. Maybe you could send some emails to the growing number of health boards?
My understanding is they’re also prescribed to delay very-early onset of puberty. Puberty has started, for some individuals, so young as to be . (in India, in that case.)
They have other applications aside from transitioning.
Journalists should be asking Pierre if he thinks minors should be able to get abortion services without parental consent. Let’s see him square that circle with his smarmy face.
“I think we should protect children and their ability to make adult decisions when they’re adults” - PP
We have children/parents/doctors make all sorts of important adult decisions regarding children all the time, why is this any different. Everything from deciding on whether to amputate after an accident to putting them on amphetamines to treat ADHD is fine, but for some reason gender affirming medication is different?
Put some checks in to make sure it doesn’t get misused/abused, then leave people alone with their personal choices. -Me
Good news is we have those checks and balances already. Since 2009 Canada has recognized the right of minors to obtain or decline health care services on their own or over the objection of their parents. This is the mature minor doctrine and it was settled in the Supreme Court.
In most jurisdictions, medical professionals and other licensed practitioners determine if the person seeking care can give informed consent or rejection of a procedure (including full understanding of the consequences, sound mind, etc) before performing it. This means doctors and patients determine the course of care and make private medical decisions.
In Pierre’s world, and Danielle’s world, they know better than doctors and patients and would deny care, which we know for a fact leads to suicidal ideation in trans teens. Pierre doesn’t care about that, he literally doesn’t care if these kids die because they can’t get the care they need as long as he can make a wedge out of it. The fucking nerve of Pierre to call this a distraction.

I mean, they aren’t going to become CPC voters anyway. It’s to his benefit to let them die.
Poilievre called trans health care “a divisive wedge” that’s being used by the Liberal government to “distract…”
Classic Poilievre, disagree with him on the state banning life saving medical care and you’re the one being divisive and causing distractions.
I’m honestly sick of people like Pierre calling everything that isn’t about dollars a distraction, there is more to life than money, like human rights and healthcare for example, the things he wants to trample all over.
What kind of fantasy world do you have to live in to see Justin Trudeau as too radical? Either PP is knowingly making shit up for votes or he’s out of touch with reality. Neither qualifies him to lead the country.
The answer is a.) Out of touch with reality or b.) Purposely using this type of wording because it works and furthers his, and the larger global Right wing’s agenda, or c.) Just a grifter using grifter speak because it works on pretty much any right winger.
Fucking thank you for saying this. Trans people are out here, just trying to survive and have basic rights. Conservatives have decided to have a full-out snowflake meltdown over this.
Any transphobes reading this: I’m sure you’re tired of hearing about trans issues in the news. But I can assure you, you’re nowhere near as tired of it as trans people are.
It’s their test case for abortion. You know their base would do anything to get it in. With the notwithstanding clause they could get it even if the supreme court rules it unconstitutional.
