Alberta Premier Danielle Smith has introduced legislation that would ban doctors from medically or surgically transitioning minors. The proposed law has been hailed by Campaign Life Coalition (CLC) president, Jeff Gunnarson, as a “political miracle”. The legislation, if passed, would protect children from life-altering surgeries linked to transgender ideology and require parental consent for pronoun changes in schools. Furthermore, biological men claiming to be women would not be allowed to participate in women-only sports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The legislation would ban both mastectomies and vaginoplasties for children aged 17 and under, and restrict puberty blockers to those aged 16 and older, but only with parental consent. Smith argues that making irreversible decisions regarding biological sex while still a minor could limit the child’s future choices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This proposal comes after UPP members passed several resolutions aimed at protecting parental rights during an AGM in November. However, some critics expressed concern that Smith’s language failed to acknowledge the biological reality of two sexes. The legislation is set to be the most stringent in Canada in terms of countering the most radical aspects of transgender ideology. Similar initiatives have been implemented in Saskatchewan and New Brunswick.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
