All They Wanted Was the Cakes, They Said ...

Yep:

 

Canada prefers to legalise the grooming of vulnerable children:

Mary’s troubled daughter had talked about her changing sexual identity before, but when she announced at age 16 that she was a transgender boy, it seemed to come out of the blue.

Even so, a doctor later wrote her a prescription for testosterone after a pair of 15-minute appointments, the mother says. Within months, the teenager had also had a double mastectomy. She was now a trans male.

But Mary says her child’s long-standing depression and anxiety only worsened. And last year the young woman made a stunning admission to her mother: even as she was being wheeled into the operating room to have her breasts removed, she was having doubts about her decision.

Now the 21-year-old is “detransitioning,” reverting to her original female identity. And Mary is part of a nascent movement calling for brakes to be placed on a health-care system geared to affirming a young person’s transgender feelings with drugs and surgery, allegedly in some instances after little assessment of other psychological issues.

That movement has picked up steam just in the last year. Countries from Finland to Australia have stepped back somewhat from the affirmative approach, while the critics’ concerns are unexpectedly being shared by some of the leading figures in the transgender medical world itself.

But in Canada the thrust is if anything in the other direction, which proponents say is a positive thing.

A bill now before the Ontario legislature emphasizes speeding up access to medical transition, reducing the need for practitioners’ referrals to get such treatment and defining services like double mastectomies as life-saving.

And on Wednesday the House of Commons passed legislation that would ban the widely condemned practice of conversion therapy, despite concerns that it could also make it a crime to provide any therapy to gender-identity patients that explored broader psychological issues.

“Alarms are being sounded all over the world,” says Aaron Kimberly, a B.C.-based transgender man and registered nurse with qualms about the current approach. “And Canada seems completely deaf to it.”

 

Not seems. Is

This is deliberate.

 

You can have whatever operation you like. If you born a biological male, you always will be male and your depression will never go away. The DNA is not lie. Biological sex (not gender, as that is a grammatical construct, the same grammar that demands exactness in subject-verb agreement. No they here.).

If you demand that people accept you for who you think you are, why should they when you have had yourselves mutilated because you won't accept yourself?

Everyone from teachers to quacks who ply children with these delusions and body-alterations should have their licenses pulled at the very least.

But this is Canada and here we reward hatred of children and quackery.

Theresa Tam, after all, still has a job.
