🇨🇦The Minister of Justice has reintroduced a bill of ban conversion therapy as #billc6. Text is not yet available but it is said to be the same as #billc8. The bill is only at first reading so debate was very short. @BardishKW spoke for the govt using the slogan @freetobeme_ca /2
Opposition leader @erinotoole emphasized his support for the LGBT community but spoke about the need for changes to the bill so it will not criminalize private conversations between parents, teachers etc. He did not specifically refer to therapy or gender identity issues /3
@r_garrison for the NDP supported the bill but said that his party would be looked for amendments to expand the restrictions on "conversion therapy" for gender identity. The Bloc and Green speakers supported the govt without adding anything new. /4
It will be an uphill battle to get changes to the bill to ensure that gender non-conforming children are protected from medical harm. We are likely to see competing amendments from the Conservatives and NDP and the Liberals will then claim the bill is a reasonable middle ground.

1/ The report of the Quebec Comité de sages sur l'identité de genre is out. It is over 200 pages in French only so it will take me some time to review. The recommendations are modest and often vague but do represented some small progress. Link is in the next Tweet. Image
2/ The report consists of two volumes and a summary. This is a summary of the summary. The links are on this page:quebec.ca/gouvernement/m…
3/ The first chapter discusses the evolution of the phenomenon of gender identity. It is clear that sex is binary but it does get intersex wrong. Here are the recommendations with an English translation by Deepl. Image

1/ The Canadian Medical Association is challenging Alberta legislation restricting pediatric medical transition on the grounds that it violates the Charter by restricting physician's freedom of conscience.
2/ The Alberta law bans puberty blockers, limits cross sex hormones to patients over 18 and surgery to those over 18. It is part of a larger package that covers social transition in schools and sports. justdad7180.substack.com/p/alberta-chal…
3/ The issue of doctors' freedom of conscience was considered in Canada when a group of Christian doctors challenged a regulation requiring them to refer patients who wanted medically assisted death to a doctor who did not object to this practice. canadianlutheran.ca/christian-doct…

1/ The plaintiffs in the challenge to the Alabama law restricting medical transition of minors have agreed to drop the case. Boe v. Marshall has probably done more to undermine the case for WPATH and pediatric gender medicine than any other legal action.
2/ The masterstroke by the Alabama Attorney General was to bring a motion to compel the World Professional Association for Transgender Health to produce the correspondence relating to the creation of its SOC8.

3/ What WPATH produced was a whole arsenal of smoking guns which disclosed the political manipulation of the standards of care and shredded what remained of WPATH's reputation as a trustworthy clinical and scientific organization.

1/ Some good news from the UK. The @Sullivan_Review of data, statistics and research on sex and gender will likely have a wider effect on breaking the destructive hold of gender ideology than the Cass Review.
@Sullivan_Review 2/ The review is a comprehensive rejection of the ideas and assumptions behind gender ideology. You can read the full report and an executive summary here. assets.publishing.service.gov.uk gov.uk/government/pub…
@Sullivan_Review 3/ The basic premise of the review is that sex and gender identity are both important factors in people's lives but they are separate and government agencies need to record them separately. Image

1/ The BC College of Nurses and Nurse Midwives (which recently found Amy Hamm (@preta_6) is not getting much love on Google. It has a one star rating and the first review reads, "The staff are very unprofessional and boderline abusive." Image
@preta_6 2/ If you sort the reviews by date, the most recent review (from a month ago) is a five star review but after that the reviews are overwhelmingly negative. Out if 161 reviews I could only find 2 other positive reviews and 10 ratings that were above 1 star. Image
Image
@preta_6 3/ There were repeated complaints about rude staff, cumbersome bureaucracy and fees that were excessive in respect of other provinces. All of these reviews predated the Amy Hamm decision and some of them go back to before the complaint was filed. Image

1/ The Amy Hamm (@preta_6) decision is a defeat for women, free speech, law, science and common sense. It is a fundamental denial of Amy's freedom to advocate for women's sex based rights. I'll try to do a longer analysis but here are some preliminary comments.
@preta_6 2/ The decision is 115 pages long, consisting of 85 pages of reasons and a 30 page appendix which discusses specific statements. There will be a further hearing on penalty and costs. You can read the full decision at this link if you can stand it. jccf.ca/wp-content/upl…
@preta_6 3/ The panel says that it considered only statements where Amy was identified as a nurse or nurse educator. The problem here is that it is hard to publish or give interviews in the media without providing this kind of basic biographical information.
