Alberta’s Physicians Resist Restrictions on Transgender Care

Alberta’s Bill 26, which restricts gender-affirming treatments, has provoked strong opposition from the province’s clinicians. Though officials have presented the law as a means of protecting children during a vulnerable time, many clinicians see it as an intrusion into their practice and a rejection of internationally recognized standards of care.

Alberta’s Bill 26 “will enable government to implement policies to preserve choice for minors identifying as transgender while continuing to refocus the healthcare system,” according to the provincial government. It aims to support children in preserving their fertility until they are old enough to make decisions with possibly life-changing consequences, Justice Minister Mickey Amery said in a statement.

Under the bill, Alberta Health Services will transition to an acute care service delivery provider. The bill also enables provincial health agencies to establish a process for resolving patient concerns.

Gee... I know how to "resolving patient concerns" give them the healthcare that they need! Not what politician say.

New Zealand bans puberty blockers for young transgender people

New Zealand has announced it is banning new prescriptions of puberty-blocking drugs for young transgender people, in a move that critics warned could worsen the mental health of those affected.

The step comes amid growing global debate about the number of adolescents seeking to change gender, dividing those concerned about hastiness in prescribing such medications and those worried about access to remedies they deem lifesaving.

The health minister, Simeon Brown, said doctors would no longer be able to prescribe gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogues for gender dysphoria or incongruence to those seeking treatment for the conditions and not already on the drugs.

The decision resulted from a health ministry finding of a lack of “high-quality evidence that demonstrates the benefits or risks”, Brown added in a statement.

That is total conservative BS!!! Puberty blockers have been around since 1980! And they are used to... well block puberty! The conservatives make it sound like it has never been used to block puberty, all is they is lie!

Europe is pockmarked with anti-trans healthcare laws, ILGA-Europe reports that,

• ANDORRA: Despite the Government’s promise of implementation by late 2023 or early 2024, mechanisms to access transition-related healthcare in Andorra are still not operational.
• AUSTRIA: In February, Federal Chancellor and ÖVP leader Karl Nehammer proposed a ban on hormone treatments for patients under the age of 18 without medical justification.
• BELGIUM: In the Namur province, a new consultation service will be established by the Willy Peers centre to better support trans people undergoing transition processes.

• CZECHIA: The Department of Sexology at University Hospital Brno established a gynaecological outpatient clinic specifically for trans people, marking it as the first facility of its kind in the Czech Republic. The clinic aims to provide a comfortable, gender-inclusive, and welcoming environment for patients undergoing transition
• GEORGIA: The anti-LGBTI law undermines Georgia’s efforts to end AIDS and combat other infectious diseases, posing a significant threat to public health. The United Nations Programme on HIV and AIDS (UNAIDS) has expressed deep concern, stating that the law exacerbates stigma and hinders LGBTI people’s access to essential health services.

• HUNGARY: Following the ban on legal gender recognition in 2020, access to trans-specific healthcare has become significantly more difficult, and was only offered one by a public hospital and private health provider outside the capital. In August, the hospital cancelled a trans patient’s appointment, arguing the hospital is no longer treating patients with a ‘transsexualism’ diagnosis. Legal proceedings are being considered.

• MOLDOVA: In December 2023, a new law was enacted to amend Article 191 of Law No. 1409/1997 regarding medication. This legislation effectively prohibits the medications commonly used by trans men for hormone therapy. In the wake of this ban, several trans people have reached out to the GENDERDOC-M Information Centre, reporting that they are unable to purchase these essential medications, even when they possess a doctor’s prescription. Since then, the Centre has met the Ministry of Health on this subject, clarifying that the Ministry is planning to set up a committee that will create a protocol for prescribing hormone therapy.

• TURKMENISTAN: Reports indicate that the Ministry of National Security is collaborating with regional AIDS centres, meaning that data of the people who are tested for HIV, including LGBTI people, is shared with the authorities, which means a risk of criminal prosecution for a same-sex act. Such collaboration often entails requesting information about individuals seeking treatment for HIV/AIDS,  which is then used to target and arrest members of the LGBTI community.

Attacking our healthcare is a common trait of right-wing governments world wide!
