Gender-affirming care for youth is just simple medical care. It isn’t political, it’s not radical. It is small-c conservative care that is what is recommended by doctors to protect the health and lives of kids and teenagers. Please protect trans kids.

Premier Danielle Smith is a coward, a bully and a hypocrite. Stripping kids of rights and denying them their day in court isn't leadership, it's cowardice.
Sure, she's able to suspend their rights. That doesn't mean she should. My latest 👇🏻👇🏻

Only cowardly politicians override charter rights before the courts can decide
Invoking the notwithstanding clause before a court can make a ruling is cowardly, politically motivated and a dangerous precedent.

As expected, Alberta UCP members passed a policy resolution at their AGM this weekend calling on the government to ban Pride flags from public property.
Now we'll have to wait and see if Danielle Smith's government takes that and tries to make it law.

Substitute out “gender affirming care” with cancer care.
Or congenital organ defect repair.
Or mental health care.
This isn’t about providing fully informed consequence free care, because that simply doesn’t exist.
It’s about believing trans kids shouldn’t exist.
