"This is interfering ideologically in the provision of medically necessary healthcare for trans and gender diverse young people," Johnstone said in an interview with CBC News.

"And flies in the face of establishing medical best practice, while also putting in parameters around school inclusion that are actually more likely to force trans kids back into the closet or extreme cases will lead to trans kids being kicked out of their homes."

All the other things going on around here, and this is what the government is prioritizing. Maybe we should be more worried about these Take Back Albertans, it seems like they are firmly in charge of the UCP after all, which is a problem seeing as we seem to have unelected, minority interests that aren't compatible with any sort of modernity outlooks steering the ship. Pretty fucking strange. I mean in one way, I have no feelings one way or another about pronouns or transgender, as its not something that personally affects me. But I certainly do have feelings about our government chasing children, who probably need some extra protection, through their day, and in our school system where they should be protected from harm. No matter what, or how they identify themselves. And they are doing this for literally no reason, other than some sort of sick rationale. Good job keeping these meat heads in power, Alberta. Pat yourself on the back (/s).
