What a garbage national post article, as per usual.
The title implies Canada might be doing the right thing but the article is just a list of quotes presented to challenge the idea of even treating gender dysphoria.
The article title doesn't imply Canada is doing the right thing, it implies the opposite.
So, according to the article headline Europe is banning puberty blockers, but the article itself only mentions the UK (referred to as England).
It's the national post, they're shit and always pushing an agenda.
but the article itself only mentions the UK
Who, while yes are part of Europe, have deliberately excluded themselves from being an important part of Europe.
If the UK is doing something noteworthy, it's probably the bad kind of noteworthy.
Hell nah ainโt the rest of European doing that dumb british crap
What absolutely gobsmacking value must an unaltered human being possess that tremendous amounts of resources are allocated all over the world to stop people from changing who or what they are?
Itโs your body you should be able to choose what to do with it. If in 30 or 40 years we come to find out that it causes irreparable damage and shortened lifespan. Itโs earned. If that time until an untimely death is the best life lived then that was well earned too. Iโm willing to bet it will be worth it to someone who so desires it. But it should be every individuals choice to do so, and do so freely.
This problem will only continue to compound as medical technology advances. People changing gender identity or their sex is only the tip of the iceberg, given the chance someone out there will try change something about themselves that asks the question of whether or not they are still human. Maybe not in my lifetime but someone born today might have to face such a problem. Based on the lessons we will hand down, well you can plainly see about how that is likely to go down.
We already know who cares so much that people conform to gender norms, are deprived access to reproductive healthcare and autonomy, and also forced to do so in abject poverty. The burning question is why? What ends justify these means?
Seriously, someone make it make sense. What math do I need to learn to be able to understand why you are not able to do as you please with your own life and body? How does anyone else still have a say what is or isnโt in your pants and how is it to their benefit?
Itโs an irony then for how much value is placed on genitalia that the rest of the person is only worth at most whatever minimum wage is the standard in your area or occupation.
This one's classic NatPo rage bait.๐
