So..........Canada's supposed to be like, awesome for human rights, yeah? Well. We're not. And a new law just passed in my province, that is following Saskatchewan's lead. To summarise Lgbtq2s youth can't recieve gender affirming care unless they're over fifteen and have parental consent. They (we) can't change name/gender/pronouns without parental permission if 15 and under, and parents need to be notified if they are 16-17. Which is bullshit. It directly goes against our constitution rights, but they're doing their best to find workarounds. That's a really brief explanation, because it's also doing things like limiting trans athletes from playing on the right team, and other stuff like that. But that's what's going on where I live right now. It hurts that we're going so backwards and undoing years of progress, especially since we're supposedly a leader in human rights.

People are protesting left and right here. I live fairly close to an abortion clinic, and it's just....people are awful. Most of the protesters are creepy men, too. It really hurts that your rights can be taken away like that, doesn't it. It's awful MultiQuote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(C'mon, us canadians love stereotyping other provinces. It's fiiiine) Like a few months ago? It was really big and there were a lot of protests. It was really big on the news for a while. New brunswick and the other maritimes also have been doing similar things but no one pays attention to them Soooo.....yeah.

There's a student protest today which is good. I don't give as much of a fck about the name/pronoun thing but more so the no hormones/surgery and all the other stuff. Hormones don't really work awesome once you're old enough to take them now. It's just stupid. It doesn't directly impact me, but it does impact my friends.

It's crazy that these issues are still so prominent. People just want to live in an equal, inclusive world where they don't have to worry about their rights being taken away.
