In Canada, it is literally forbidden to help children introspect about the reasons and consequences of such profound decisions as discussed here.
Forbidding assistance to youths, to introspect, must be forcefully rejected — it has disastrous consequences.
- klyrs 4y agoAre you talking about conversion therapy? That's straight up abuse. Darn tootin that's illegal.
- pjkundert 4y agoYes. In Canada, any discussion that isn’t direct affirmation is considered similar to “conversation therapy” and could lead to me losing my daughter. Conversations starting with: “Hmm. That’s a big decision with many consequences; perhaps it would be best to wait and see how it feels to be a woman before you decide, wouldn’t it?” are now an offense punishable by the loss of your child, if reported. You won’t believe this, of course, because it sounds insane.
- klyrs 4y agoNo, I don't believe it, because I'm familiar with the law in Canada and what you're describing is perfectly legal. You're pushing disinformation. It sounds insane because it is not true.

(f) repress or reduce a person’s gender expression that does not conform to the sex assigned to the person at birth. Exactly what I just described. So, in a court of law, I would lose, and be convicted of violating bill C-4.
