This lovely piece of legislation right here.'Conversion therapy" is not surgery and who determines what is defined as conversion therapy?
Definition of conversion therapy
320.101 In sections 320.102 to 320.104, conversion therapy means a practice, treatment or service designed to
For greater certainty, this definition does not include a practice, treatment or service that relates to the exploration or development of an integrated personal identity — such as a practice, treatment or service that relates to a person’s gender transition — and that is not based on an assumption that a particular sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression is to be preferred over another.
- (a) change a person’s sexual orientation to heterosexual;
- (b) change a person’s gender identity to cisgender;
- (c) change a person’s gender expression so that it conforms to the sex assigned to the person at birth;
- (d) repress or reduce non-heterosexual attraction or sexual behaviour;
- (e) repress a person’s non-cisgender gender identity; or
- (f) repress or reduce a person’s gender expression that does not conform to the sex assigned to the person at birth.
Depends on if they want to be content with the gender they're assigned with at birth or if they wish to transition. Thst is a decision that individual child would disclose to the care provider and they would work towards whatever goal the person experiencing gender dysmorphia wants to work towards.If my pre-puberty kid is confused about their gender and I take them to counselling to help them align their feeling with the biological equipment, is that also conversion therapy?
The child is the patient, not the parent.
It is fantastic that you provided an environment that was hospitable for her to figure out where she wantes to be in her sexual orientation and gender expression. That is textbook allyship parenting and what a majority (55%) of 2SLGBTQIA+ kids will never experience.My youngest went through a period where she said she was gender neutral, then she decided she was gay and has a "girlfriend". But now is talking about marrying a guy in the future.
Nope. Count the many middle age adults who transition later in life because they were put in a box physically they never were in. I serve with several on my Defence Team Pride Advisory Organisation here in Kingston. What has changed is the support and acceptance e within society to allow pre puberty Trans kids a chance to voice their preference before the train leaves the station. If it's like I said above : Consistent, Persistent, and Direct that they want to transition, they don't have to live 20, 30 years as an imposter in their own eyes.Puberty has the final say.
The majority of the confusion is with the lack of education and understanding from those who wish to remain ignorant.I will argue that majority of the confusion is caused by educators, advocates and others all wrapped up in pushing this agenda. When the actual number of truly genderless/gay kids is a tiny minority.
What agenda is being pushed? "Be who you feel you are? Love who you want to love? Not everyone is gay, straight, cis, or Trans and that's OK?"
We change pronouns every APS. I guarantee you work with a Col that was once an OCdt. Hell I was a Pte once and now I'm an Lt after 17 years. Are you going tell me because I joined the CAF at 17 as a Pte and that's what you first met me as that you're going to use that because "well I d9nt care who you are now... you're Pte Wannabe. Stop making this difficult...you just want attention."
I mean...I always want attention, but you get my point.
We are in the business of protecting and supporting the minority against the majority. It's in our Ethos. That includes our Trans brother, sisters, and siblings in arms.
