I like the part of this story where they completely skip over that we are talking about removing rights for vulnerable CHILDREN. It’s all talk about votes and positioning against the liberals. CPC doesn’t care about people, only power. #CdnPoli https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/poilievre-conservative-gender-1.6987096
I can’t believe that I have to say this. Medical transition for trans kids doesn’t happen at school and it doesn’t happen without parental consent.
It’s very rare for trans kids under 18 to get surgery.
Trans kids generally do not get puberty blockers and/or hormones until they hit puberty.
When we are talking about trans kids (under 16) doing things without parental consent, it is just changing names and pronouns.
Stop believing the right wing talking points. #cdnpoli
It does not matter if parents consent to a child’s “sexual identity”. Queer and trans kids will be queer and trans. It is not a choice.
What Trudeau and others like him want is for those gay and trans kids to be safe. What Poilievre and these other assholes want is for those kids to be in the closet or dead. #CdnPoli #TransRightsAreHumanRights

Today’s email to Ford and Lecce was about that Angus Reid poll that stated 18% of parents would actively discourage their kids from expressing themselves as a gender different from that assigned at birth. That’s almost 1 in 5 admitting they’d be willing to psychological abuse their children and increase their risk of self harm. So they can be bigots. #TransRightsAreHumanRights
There was a guy in my son’s high school filming students and being generally weird. The cops now want to arrest him. It’s the same guy who put live crabs on the TTC seats in 2018.
