In Canada, even practitioners of “Gender Affirming Care” are raising an alarm for greater caution and the freedom to question orthodoxy.
This includes one of Canada’s most experienced youth gender clinicians.
This is a very balanced article on the issue.

Louder for those in the back (NB)! Our hospital just released their budget request for a new gender affirming care clinic in Fredericton. Like NB can afford to cut off perfectly healthy body parts when it's already in its biggest deficit in all of history.
FACT: Not a single adolescent on the face of this planet is capable of consenting to being sterilised.
Everything we know about adolescent development tells us that this life stage is defined by experimentation and change.
It is a period of identity exploration, when young people try on different selves — when beliefs are held with passionate conviction one day, only to be discarded the next.
And because we know that adolescents do not have fixed, stable identities, we should also know that permanent, irreversible medical interventions that imprint adolescent identities onto the body could never be appropriate or ethical.
Paediatric gender medicine is a terrible medical crime. In my opinion, it's the worst medical scandal in history.
@monctonSJlawyer Carney and trump are besties making deals behind the scenes and playing a reality TV show we are all participants in! They both are laughing their heads off at every move.
Bang on! Just like the message she pinned on her page. When neighbours think conservatives should be “crushed like cockroaches” because of this ideology you know it’s gone too far. Where is the LOVE?
'He has a point, but he's too blunt.'
From the start, a key tactic of the gender identitarians has been linguistic prescription, and it's proved shockingly successful. Trans activists' shibboleths and euphemisms have been allowed to penetrate the upper echelons of our culture with devastating consequences to freedom of speech and belief. Huge swathes of liberal media, the arts, academia and publishing have thrown themselves with gusto into the defence of a quasi-religious belief causing provable real world harm, and in their arrogance they've been outraged when people they assumed were part of their In Group have refused to march meekly along in lock step.
Time and again, I've seen and heard well-educated people who consider themselves critical thinkers and bold truth-tellers squirm when put on the spot. 'Well, yes, maybe there's something in what you're saying, but it's hateful/provocative/rude not to use the approved language/pretend people can literally change sex/keep drawing attention to medical malpractice or opportunistic sexual predators. Why can't you be nice? Why won't you pretend? We thought you were one of us! Don't you realise we have sophisticated new words and phrases these days that obviate the necessity of thinking any of this through?'
As the vibe shifts, and a lot of people in the elite professions start trying to reposition themselves, the obvious place to start is, 'it's not that I couldn't see your point, but did you have to say it that way?' We dissenters were supposed to find a way of questioning the chemical castration of children while calling it 'gender affirming care.' We were meant to defend the rights of vulnerable women while also using female pronouns for male rapists. We should have found a way to discuss fairness for women and girls in sport, while pretending that the ineradicable physical advantage men have over women doesn't exist.
Either a man can be a woman, or he can't. Either women deserve rights, or they don't. Either there's a provable medical benefit to transitioning children, or there isn't. Either you're on the side of a totalitarian ideology that seeks to impose falsehoods on society through the threat of ostracisation, shaming and violence, or you're not. The alternative to being 'blunt' - using accurate, factual language to describe what was going on - was to surrender freedom of speech and espouse ideological jargon that obfuscated the issues and the harms caused. We've always needed blunt people, but we need them most of all when being asked to bow down to a naked emperor.
The federal government wants to be your daddy and buy your kids' lunch.
The federal government should instead be building an economy where you can afford to buy your own kids' lunch.

President Trump NEVER told Americans to boycott Canada
Canadian Politicians DID TELL Canadians to boycott America; boo their anthem, don’t travel there, buy Canadian goods.
BIG DIFFERENCE
Detransitoner interview in Quebec. The horror and the malpractices are horrifying. @susanholt This is what your government is endorsing by allowing children to socially transition (policy 713) in secret from parents. I hope you'll watch.

@ChanLPfa I look forward to following your journey.
Can I suggest one thing? Before starting every day, pray. Even as a non believer, pray something as simple as this; God, if you are real can you reveal yourself to me today? It’s what I did 30 years ago and he has not disappointed.
Me: You signed a statement calling “gender affirming care” for youth medically necessary.
Guyatt: WHAT!? That’s RIDICULOUS. I would never say that.
Me: *produces the receipt
Guyatt: Oh, I didn’t read that part. I’m a dope.
Unbelievable.
@monctonSJlawyer Sounds like NB is all elbows down also…. No live updates to tell NewBrunswickers they can now purchase US liquors again, BUT only in Salisbury!
