RE: THIS is what could start a Civil War! - The Government Taking Your Kids Because You Don't "Let" Them Get Gender Reassignment Surgery
"Michael Couteau, the Minister of Child and Family Services, and who initially introduced the bill, said that he would consider parental discrimination on the basis of gender identity “a form of abuse when a child identifies as one way and a caregiver is saying ‘No, you need to do this differently.'”
He continued, “If it’s abuse, and if it’s within the definition, a child can be removed from that environment and placed into protection where the abuse stops.”"
The goal of the bill is pretty clear. I don't agree AT ALL with telling a kid how to think and feel. BUT, there kids are VERY IMPRESSIONABLE and need to be protected by their parents from making decisions that they may regret (40% suicide rate for trans people, I've hear - don't quote that figure though, look it up).
The only gray area is 'if it's abuse, and if it's within the definition'; that's the only place where an argument can be made.
