They want you to be anti-science and anti-empathy because they want you to sign off on your own oppression. Chuds have accepted that reality conflicts with their worldview, so they have chosen unreality as their only platform.
Motherfuckers. Unfortunatey this line of attack is likely to intensify, not merely from conservative opportunists applying the American playbook to win elecrions, but also because the Alberta sovereignty movement, funded by the US oil industry, would love to have pipelines built to the west coast. What better way to achieve that than creating conservative political alignment in BC.
On October 8, 2025, B.C.’s new far-right party, OneBC, introduced its first piece of anti-trans legislation: Bill M-216, the “Protecting Minors from Gender Transition Act”.
It is actually an adaptation of U.S. anti-trans group “Do No Harm”’s model legislation, “The JUST FACTs Act”, which was also used in numerous anti-trans bills across the United States since 2023. Traces of Bill M-216 can be seen a bit everywhere in U.S. legislation: with Montana Senate Bill 99 (2023), with New Mexico Senate Bill 500 (2025), and with Kansas Senate Bill 63 (2025), amongst others.
This is from the OneBC party, which only has 2 members, and nobody even voted for this party in the first place. These are formerly conservative MPs which were kicked out of their own party.
Now, the conservative party is pretty anti-transgender itself, but I would not really consider anything the OneBC party brings forward to be news-worthy unless it’s picked up by at least one other party.
The BC Conservatives voted for this bill, ONEBC’s members were lurking behind the big tent party thanks to archaic first-past-the-post hiding transparency from the public’s view.
ah I didn’t realize this. I stand corrected.
do with think its ok for kids to take HRT? kids mean anyone under 18 btw. and im not saying they can’t be transgender, i support them being trans 100%, just don’t know if its harmful to take HRT before being an adult.
From, I don’t know, 14+? 16+? Sure? By the time we start to recognize children’s medical autonomy, I can’t imagine why we would t
The main issue here is that to be an adult, you have to go through puberty.
The problem is that HRT is meant to replace one’s expected puberty with the opposite puberty.
So for “best results” you have to start HRT induced/regulated puberty before the expected puberty starts.
Starting HRT after puberty does not reverse the effects of the puberty one has undergone, hence the focus on puberty blockers and starting before puberty.
Starting before puberty starts means starting when they are literally biological kids.
This is where the conflict is. Should literal kids undergo HRT puberty or should they go through their expected puberty, become an adult, and then gain the mental capacity and autonomy to make the decision to undergo HRT but without meeting desired results.
Some say use puberty blockers until 18 and then allow people to make a decision. I disagree, the number of times the Earth goes around the Sun does not turn a child into a consenting adult, puberty does.
The ask is to have consent with the weight of post-puberty but express it while in pre-puberty for a decision on puberty.
I disagree that this is possible. It looks like these MPs disagree as well.
HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy) is not some unnatural medication treatment. It’s literally just estrogen or testosterone depending on which gender is being transitioned to. Everyone has testosterone and estrogen. Kids go through puberty as a normal part of growing up.
Typical puberty is not dangerous and HRT causes the same kind of puberty meaning it’s not dangerous
HRT induced puberty is the exact same as typical puberty.
I think the main question is consent, who is consenting and the legality of it along with liability.
The question is a legal question and what is consent along with what is the responsiblity or liability of the doctor.
Typical medicines are not natural, but are legal because the consenting party is the adult on behalf of the child and recommended by the doctor.
For medicine, diagnosis and treatment are done determined by external actors.
Feel unwell -> cause determined from outside perspective -> solution prescribed from external perspective -> feed back from patient.
I think for HRT, it’s more murky legally. For transition it’s more self reported.
Feel unwell -> self diagnosis -> self prescription -> reporting to oneself
Gender dysphoria is being removed as a diagnosis so external diagnosis by a doc and prescription based on said diagnosis cannot be done.
And the child in question consents, not the parent.
The way medicine has legally operated is not reflected in transition.
If transition was possible without medical aid, it would be different. But it is not possible for humans to physically transition, unlike other species who can.
Ok so the question I replied to was essentially is it safe for kids under 18. The answer is yes.
In terms of consent. Kids cannot just consent and then be given HRT. Parents of kids cannot just consent and then have their kids put on HRT. Doctors cannot just consent and put kids on HRT.
There is a process in which kids are thoroughly assessed and then with parental consent put on puberty blockers for 1-2 years maximum. Puberty blockers are not HRT to be clear. They are also safe and the kids are monitored by doctors and have regular check ups and psychiatric evaluations. If the children persist by the end of the 1-2 year observation period they are then, with consent from all parties put onto HRT.
The whole process is very thorough to ensure that kids who aren’t actually trans don’t get put on HRT. Consent by the parents, kids and doctors is required throughout the entire process.
This isn’t simple self report and get medicated it is a very thorough process.
Please do a basic google search. This info isn’t difficult to find.
— the same means by which Alberta’s UCP is currently attempting to commit genocide against trans youth.
The fuck is this rhetoric. That’s not what genocide means. Let’s not be stupid and hyperbolic.
Genocide is in stages:
Nice chart, but it misses the point. Genocide is specifically about ethnicity and national groups. Gender does not meet the definition. Words have meaning. You need to choose the correct one.
noun **The systematic killing of substantial numbers of people on the basis of ethnicity, religion, political opinion, social status, or other particularity.

prefix genos, meaning race or tribe, and the Latin suffix cide, meaning killing.
For a genocide you need to eliminate men, woman and children so the “race” or group cant procreate. Trans doesn’t fit this. You could kill some transfolk but more will get born to “regular” parents. Thus not ending Trans people.
True, though I think this squeaks through by the nature that a genocide doesn’t actually need to completely eradicate a population. For instance, the holocaust did not eliminate all Jews. But they can prevent or disincentivize young people from transitioning; people experience magnitudes higher dsyphoria if they transition later in life, which leads to higher suicide rates. So in effect, this could kill many people.
Also, they can encourage people to remain closeted, making it dangerous or illegal to be openly or visibly transgender. This may not be a literal killing, but you could see it as akin to cultural genocide, which was recognized as a form of genocide since as long as the term “genocide” existed. (It does sound like it could be a neologism, but it’s not.)
Had the Nazis had their way they would have eradicates the Jews. That’s how I see genocide , is their end goal, not what they accomplish. But your second point makes sense.
Well I do suspect that if they (the most ardent anti-trans activists) could find a way to entirely eradicate transgender people they would. Their rhetoric is constantly pushing the overton window to further extremes. At first it was “youth transition should require parental consent,” now it’s “HRT should be banned even for adults,” “trans people should be legally considered their gender at birth,” “trans people should not be allowed to travel internationally,” “trans people should be considered mentally unstable,” “agitating for trans rights should be considered terrorism,” “it should be illegal to crossdress in public.” I am having trouble imagining any kind of point they could agree is too extreme, but we’ll see how it plays out.
