Children predator doctor mutilators and male predators in women's locker rooms and sports stopped in Alberta.
No one wants to tell us how many want to change their sex, or how many of those regret it afterwards. No one tells us what the mental status is after they change their sex over the decades following. Some of them seem to want to kill people after they change.
Alberta Invokes Notwithstanding Clause to Uphold Legislation Limiting Gender Transition for Minors

Alberta’s UCP government has tabled legislation invoking the notwithstanding clause to shield three laws passed last year, which deal with gender-transition issues for minors, from legal challenges.
Bill 9, tabled Nov. 18, uses the notwithstanding clause to uphold laws that bar those under 18 from gender transition surgery, restrict the teaching of gender identity topics in schools, and limit participation in female sport competitions solely to those born as biological females.
The notwithstanding clause is found in Section 33 of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, and allows governments to override certain rights in the Charter via legislation they consider crucial for society, the economy, or law and order. Successful invocation of the clause would prevent the laws in question from undergoing judicial review for five years, with provisions for renewal, something Alberta Premier Danielle Smith said is necessary to protect children.
“Children deserve the opportunity to grow into adulthood before making life-altering decisions about their gender and fertility,” Smith said in a press release.
“By invoking the notwithstanding clause, we’re ensuring that laws safeguarding children’s health, education and safety cannot be undone – and that parents are fully involved in the major decisions affecting their children’s lives.”
Specifically, Bill 9 will use the notwithstanding clause to protect last year’s Bill 26, Bill 27, and Bill 29, two of which are facing ongoing legal challenges. It would also exempt the laws from review under the Alberta Bill of Rights and the Alberta Human Rights Act.
“This government does not turn to the notwithstanding clause unless the stakes warrant it, and in this case, the stakes could not be higher,” Smith said during a Nov. 18 press conference.
Bill 26 bars anyone under 18 from undergoing gender transition surgery and prohibits anyone under 16 from being provided puberty blockers or hormone treatments for the purpose of gender transition. It is being challenged in court by several LGBT advocacy groups, and the law was prevented from being implemented after an injunction this past June.
Bill 27 requires schools to get a parent’s consent before any student under 16 wants to change their name or pronouns. It also requires that parental consent be given for a student to attend any sexual orientation or gender identity lessons. It is being challenged by LGBT advocacy groups Egale Canada and the Skipping Stone Foundation.
Bill 29 requires that school sports and some amateur competitive sports in Alberta restrict women’s and girls’ sports to those who were born as biological females. It has not yet been formally legally challenged, but Egale Canada says it plans to do so.
Alberta’s Minister of Justice and Attorney General Mickey Amery said the three laws are supported by “an overwhelming majority of Albertans” and that invoking the notwithstanding clause is necessary to protect the well-being of families and children.
Opponents of the three laws say they will keep fighting in the courts even if the province successfully invokes the notwithstanding clause, saying the laws attempt to undermine people’s identity and restrict their medical freedom.
The leader of Alberta’s NDP, Naheed Nenshi, has also stated opposition to the move to invoke the notwithstanding clause, saying that it takes away rights from parents and doctors to decide how to best treat children. |
