Well said. Furthermore, if kids were getting into transitioning without parents knowledge, that's like when they do something wrong they know is wrong and they do not want to get cut. Well, as long as they use Crayola on the wall, this can be fixed, but when they adjust their bodies it can be not. Parents must know. Age restrictions are necessary.

Since Danielle Smith has turned her attention to transgender issues, all the problems with health care must have been fixed as was promised. Last year, 100 sex change surgery procedures were done. 25 of those involved 18 to 25 year olds. The rest were done on patients over the age of 25.

[@cdncitizen4700]

Despite Liberal attempts to paint this as some sort of "far right" ideological disaster... I think MOST Canadians would recognize the need to strike a balance between the parents' rights, children's needs and government overreach... and this announcement makes "common sense". Underage children are NOT adults, so stop government interference in their bodily development during early formative years.
