It Is Like Slime

The slime is slowly oozing all around the world, it is in creating slime in our neighbors to the north.

'This is completely opposed by the queer community, this will harm trans youth in our province'

Hundreds gathered outside Calgary City Hall on Saturday in opposition to the Alberta government’s proposed transgender policies.

The focus of the rally was rights for transgender children, in particular those undergoing — or planning to undergo — gender reassignment surgery and hormone therapy.

Policies proposed by the UCP [United Conservative Party of Alberta] government last Thursday would ban gender reassignment surgery for those aged under 17 and hormone therapy for children aged 15 and under.

“The community feels very scared, there’s open discussions of having to flee the province,” said Victoria Bughholtz, an organizer of the rally.

She says that there’s also fear this is the beginning of a larger-scale attack on transgender communities.
Right-wing conservatives are the same around the world, living in the past and afraid of change.
“The UCP is following a very well-established playbook, that we’ve seen play out in the United States and Great Britain and other countries,” Bughholtz noted. “It’s unlikely that they will stop with this. So it is a major warning sign that things will probably get worse here for trans people.”
These buttinskies want to tell others how to live!
“Allow us to make our recommendations, on what we need, and what is medically possible, and then to implement those,” she said.
The conservatives say they want to keep government out of our lives but like right-wingers around the world, they lie.

Laronge Now report that,
Here is a list of the changes, which she says are being implemented after discussions with her United Conservative caucus:

— For minors 17 and under, top and bottom gender reassignment surgeries are not permitted.

— For children 15 and under, puberty blockers and hormone therapy for the purpose of gender reassignment or affirmation is not permitted, except for those who have already started those treatments. Those 16 and 17 can begin hormone treatment as long as they’re deemed mature enough and have parental, physician and psychologist approval.

— Province will work to attract one or more medical professionals who specialize in transgender surgery to ensure adults transitioning get the care they need. Build a private registry of medical professionals who work in this field.

— Classroom instruction on gender, sexuality and sexual orientation now requires parental notification and opt-in.

— Third-party resource materials on gender, sexuality and sexual orientation in K-12 schools need to be pre-approved by the ministry to make sure they’re age-appropriate.

— For children 15 and under, parental consent is needed to change names and pronouns at school. Notification is required for 16- and 17-year-olds to do so.

— Pilot project to provide counselling to support parents and youth identifying as transgender.

— Work with sporting groups to create a division for women and girls where they are not “forced to compete against biologically stronger transgender female athletes.”

— Ensure transgender athletes can “meaningfully participate in the sport of their choice” through the expansion of gender-neutral or coed divisions.
It is like they got the playbook from the Republicans.
