Canada is fast turning into a police state, where the government can pretty much tell you whatever the hell they want, and you have to do it.
Today's example, the truth is not a defense.Last month, the Supreme Court of British Columbia issued an order that a father (referred to by the pseudonym "Clark") may not refer to his 14-year-old daughter (pseudonym "Maxine") as a girl or by her original name, whether in public or in private. Doing so has been ruled to constitute "family violence" because Maxine identifies as a boy. According to a separate protection order, police may immediately arrest Clark if they suspect he violated this Orwellian order.
Yes, if the father of this child mentions the fact that she is a girl, which she is, he gets a one way ticket to the Crowbar Hotel. But it gets better:
So essentially the defense is prevented from making public the details of the case, the ruling, or the judge's order. In other words, Shut Up! or we will hurt you. We will hurt you a lot.
In addition to these gag provisions, the order prohibits Clark from "directly, or indirectly through an agent or third party, publish or share information or documentation relating to [Maxine]'s sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, mental or physical health, medical status or therapies," besides the Court, legal counsel, medical professionals, or any person authorized by Maxine or the Court.
The order also prevents Clark from allowing anyone besides his lawyer "to access or make copies of any of the files" relating to this ruling and order.

Now, call me old fashioned, but this strikes me as a very big move from the law of a free country to the law of an un-free country.
Took some digging, but I found this little news article from BC back in March. http://www.cultureguard.com/2019/03/26/news-release-500-ministry-children-in-gender-therapy-in-richmond-delta-and-surrey-alone/
ReplyDeleteI believe that I had seen a previous article that actually named names of doctors. Unfortunately those names are now redacted. The part I was looking for was this:
"At one point in the tape Dr. [Name redacted per court order] scoffed at evidence from reliable sources that says 80 percent of pre-pubescent children who experience gender dysphoria— unhappiness about their birth gender—will become successfully adjusted to their gender after they pass through puberty. Instead, he alarmed parents with warning of suicide:
“Because in a way we’re teaching the kid, ‘You need to be sick enough.’ So what you need is, you know what? Pull a stunt. Suicide—every time, they will give you what you need. They learn that. They learn it very fast right? If I want and need this, I just say to, ‘Hey Mom,’ right?”"
Sick times we are living in.
Yes, I recall seeing somewhere there was some doctor counseling kids to fake some suicide attempts to get their gender-bend on the tracks, as it were.
ReplyDeleteI really think in 20 years this trans thing is going to be considered in the same light as thalidamide. The medical establishment around this issue are full-on fucking crazy. I'm not talking about the patients either, I'm talking about the doctors. They're NUTS.
