#BillC6 update. The agenda for the final day of hearings is out. There are 5 women and 5 men but no one I recognize as speaking specifically for the lesbian or detransitioner communities. /2

@LDBildy is a witness. Her group have prepared a detailed brief on Bill C-6 you can read here. I would like to see @MinJusticeEn provide a reasoned response. There is lots of scope for a Charter challenge. /3

The Canadian Association of Social Workers issued a statement in support of a previous version of the Bill. casw-acts.ca/en/statement-b… They refer to a policy statement on conversion therapy which refers only to sexual orientation. casw-acts.ca/en/casw-condem… /4
NoConversion Canada will appear and no doubt repeat what has already been said by Kristopher Wells, Travis Salway et al. The other witnesses I can identify appear to be from conservative religious backgrounds (don't know anything about Dr. Jane Dobson) /5
This will mean that expect for the brief appearances of @PdfQuebec , @ZUCKERKJ and @JamesCantorPhD at the first meeting, the committee will not have heard anything about the objections of the LGB community or the negative impact of the bill on treatment for gender dysphoria.

Looking ahead on #BillC6. The Justice Committee will do clause by clause review of Bill C-6 tomorrow. Based on the comments at the hearings, I expect the Bill to be approved without amendment. After Friday, the House is scheduled to adjourn until Jan 25, 2021. /2
When the House returns it will consider the committee report. Amendments can be proposed at this stage. It will then move on to third reading debate where there is a further opportunity to propose amendments. This is likely to happen sometime in February. /3
The Bill then goes to the Senate, which repeats the process. After second reading, the Bill will be referred to the Committee on Legal and Constitutional Affairs where there will be another chance for public input. /4

@r_garrison has made a shameful attack on the @DetransCanada Most detransitioners are young women who have to struggle with all the problems of being young and female in addition to the problems caused by their gender and the untreated problems that led them to transition. /2
Most detransitioners suffered from serious mental health problems and for many of them these problems are still ongoing. It take exceptional courage for these young women to ask to speak in a public forum. They don't deserve to be ignored and called liars.
Presented without comment. Image

Time to start thinking about amendments to #Billc6. Amendments after 2nd reading have to respect the scope and principles of the bill there is little chance of getting gender identity removed completely, but there are things that can be done. I have prepared some ideas. /2
This would provide a blanket exemption for regulated health care professionals (who would still be subject to provincial rules) while leaving in place protection against abuse by unlicensed persons. /3 Replace the last sentence of Section 320.101 with the follo
This fixes what should have been an obvious problem. As drafted the bill would apply to therapy for minor attracted persons or efforts to prevent a 16 year old from engaging in unprotected sex (but only with a person of the same sex). /4 Add the following exemptions to the definition in s. 320.101

The Justice Committee will be starting its review of #Billc6 An Act to Amend the Criminal Code (Conversion Therapy) on Nov 26. You can find details of the bill here. /2
parl.ca/LegisInfo/Bill…
The committee is meeting in hybrid form, with witnesses attending by video conference. Meetings will be webcast unless the members decide to meet in camera. You can follow the committee's work at this web page /3
ourcommons.ca/Committees/en/…
The first order of business will be to decide who to call as a witness. The Committee normally starts by hearing from the Minister of Justice and then calls witnesses, with 1 hour allowed for each group of 4. Witnesses are given 5 minutes to make an opening statement. /4

On Nov 20, 1989 the UN General Assembly adopted the Convention on the Rights of the Child. (Unlike the Yogyakarta Principles this is a binding convention.) Consider how gender ideology and its offshoots flout this Convention. /2 ohchr.org/en/professiona…
One principle running throughout the Convention is that children have a right to be raised by their parents and families. The state is to intervene only in cases of abuse or neglect or parental separation, and then only by due process of law. [Article 9] /3
Today "abuse and neglect" has been redefined to mean refusing to agree to dangerous experimental treatments, which will probably leave a child sterile, for a mental health condition which usually resolves without treatment. /4

🇨🇦 There are many parallels between Bill C-7 on MAID and #BillC6 on conversion therapy, which are both at the committee stage . /2
OPINION | Why new medical assistance in dying law should be sent back to the drawing board | CBC News cbc.ca/news/opinion/o…
Both deal with complex and emotionally charged issues. In both cases, the government consultation seems to have been only with activists on one side of the debate. In both cases the most visible opponents have been religious conservatives but opposition is in fact much broader /3
and includes both religious and secular concerns. One critical difference is that while the media is providing balanced reporting on Bill C-7 there is no such balance on Bill C-6. No Canadian media is covering the issues raised by Detrans Canada. /4
