Yes to science, open dialogue, informed opinion & policy, engaging in complexity. No to ideology and ad hominem arguments.
NEW: BC Conservative leadership candidate Caroline Elliott (@NVanCaroline) tells me she would use the Notwithstanding Clause to ban transgender surgeries for minors and ban biological males from accessing women’s spaces.
There's a key distinction in the new register study out of Finland that many people are missing: they didn't compare all types of psychological support, or even the use of psychiatric medications. They were looking at "specialist level psychiatric treatment" and this is a thing.
🚨 In a watershed moment, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons has put an end to youth gender surgeries. But a far bigger story is what this implies for the rest of "gender-affirming care," from social transition to puberty blockers & hormones—as our new analysis explains. /1
🚨SEGM’s Digest highlights new publications poised to influence the debate in youth gender medicine. We begin with a recent study which claims that hormones reduce youth suicidality. Our conclusion: like other studies making similar claims, this study's finding is unreliable./1

When a lie becomes policy and silence becomes safety, truth-telling becomes a duty. The normalization of harm under the banner of care is a crime against our children—our history will remember if we spoke up or stayed quiet. cpal.substack.com/p/a-thoughtful… @EM_POWR
Mark Carney spent his entire life promoting the carbon tax. Now he’s trying to scam Canadians out of billions and to do it he’s put a whole crew together. It could be the biggest con job in Canadian history. Only YOU can stop it!
