The so-called "parental rights" policy initiative that has just been announced in Alberta is yet another example of public policy that has been shaped by moral panic as opposed to evidence. This move has been made in spite of well documented recommendations on wise, trauma informed, person centered, and inclusive practices to facilitate 2SLGBTQQIA+ children and young peoples' safety in the classroom and in sports. Policy initiatives like this only serve to pander to the vocal minority, for the sole purpose of preserving the reign of a Premier who barely managed a seat in the legislative assembly. Practitioners who work with 2SLGBTQQIA+ children and young people do not make decisions about their health and safety lightly. It is already so challenging to even find practitioners who offer gender affirming care or even use a gender affirming approach in their practice. This is rendered even more salient when you consider the already massive shortage of educators, healthcare and youth workers, and persistent underfunding of youth-specific (let alone 2SLGBTQQIA+ inclusive) services here in Alberta. To reduce even further our already limited access to life saving care for 2SLGBTQQIA+ youth is abhorrent, violent, and constitutes nothing short of a full blown attack on 2SLGBTQQIA+ Peoples' safety across Treaties 6, 7, and 8. Gender affirming care, whether that is recognizing chosen names and pronouns, 2SLGBTQQIA+-specific psychoeducation and therapy, peer support, 2SLGBTQQIA+-inclusive practices, and/or medical intervention, is a fundamental human right. So is the right to identify and express one's gender as you choose, regardless of your assigned sex at birth. This applies to children and young people as well. 2SLGBTQQIA+ children and young people are agentic beings who have full rights under provincial and territorial human rights legislation, the Canadian Charter, AND the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC), which Canada is a signatory to. Per the UNCRC, Canadian policymakers are obligated to ensure the safety, agency, and voice of the child is centered in any decisions pertaining to their lives, including ensuring all 2SLGBTQQIA+ children and young people have the right to identify and express their gender in a way that makes sense to them. Alberta's policy completely silences and denies 2SLGBTQQIA+ children and young peoples' autonomy, and renders them significantly more vulnerable to both external and internalized homophobia and transphobia, and will prove detrimental to 2SLGBTQQIA+ youth's already precarious access to health, safety, and stability. Call this policy what it is. This is an attack, and a failure. This sends a very clear message that 2SLGBTQQIA+ children and young people are not valued, respected, or cared for in Alberta. And to be honest, I wonder if our society ever did care about these young people.

🖤 I say this with so much love, and I hope you receive it that way. 🖤 When my great-uncle Arthur Fletcher pioneered the first federal Affirmative Action policy in 1969 during the Nixon administration, he did so as part of his lifelong quest to seek economic and educational liberation and justice for those who have experienced a multitude of generational marginalization and oppression. 🖤 That same policy would later be evolved during the Reagan administration after a plethora of corporate-funded research studies proved what women, queer folks, Black and Brown people already knew: yes indeed, we are brilliant, and corporations need us not only to survive, but to thrive. AKA: Diversity is good for business. 🖤 But as research methods progress and evolve and diversify in and of themselves, we start to realize that the concept of DEI is good for everyone and everything - except for upholding the powers of white supremacy. 🖤 Now, even when applied DEI efforts are essential to just understanding the racist outcomes in our healthcare systems, and could literally lead to saving lives, we are being pulled back to the same drawing board my great-uncle Arthur found himself staring at when he drafted the original Affirmative Action policy. 🖤 These attacks on DEI should make us angry, but they shouldn’t distract us from what they really are. The truth is that capitalism and white supremacy are inextricably connected. Whether we like it or not, we’re participants in these systems in order to survive or create the lives we want. DEI poses a threat to the old way of how those systems interact with one another, and instead says “let’s do this a new way, without the white supremacy but inclusion instead”. Even though DEI works for literally everyone, it’s a still threat for those who source their power from white supremacy. 🖤 Historically, this is how most of our rights are struggled and fought for in this country. Women’s rights. Gay rights. Interracial marriage. Voting rights. It’s always a power struggle between those seeking liberation from oppressors and those who only feel a threat to their power source of white supremacy. 🖤 The quicker we can collectively get honest about this and tell the truth about what’s happening in this country right now with DEI, the quicker we can stop this pendulum swing back to the 1960’s. I think my great-uncle Arthur would so appreciate it, may he rest in peace 💕

Let's talk about a crucial legal battle in LGBTQ+ rights – Doe v. Ladapo. This case challenges Florida's ban on Medicaid coverage for gender-affirming care, a vital issue for the transgender community. Central to this case is the involvement of Genspect with Florida's DOH. Genspect is known for opposing gender-affirming care. This collaboration raises serious concerns about the inclusivity of health policy. Gender-affirming care is not a luxury; it's essential for many trans people's mental and physical health. Denying Medicaid coverage for this care is more than a legal issue; it's about human rights. The Florida DOH working with an anti-trans care group is disheartening. It could lead to policies that restrict access to necessary care, affecting the well-being of transgender individuals. Beyond the courtroom, this case has wider implications. It impacts how society views transgender individuals and their healthcare needs. Restrictive policies perpetuate stigma and discrimination. Remember, access to gender-affirming care is crucial for mental health. Without it, the risk of depression, anxiety, and even self-harm can increase among trans individuals. Policies like this don't just affect healthcare. They contribute to a less inclusive society, making it harder for trans people to live authentically. Inclusivity in health policy is key. As we observe Doe v. Ladapo, let's amplify our advocacy for inclusive health policies. Educating about the importance of gender-affirming care is crucial. Everyone deserves to live authentically. This case is a reminder of the ongoing struggle for LGBTQ+ rights. Let's stand together for policies that support and uplift, not restrict. Our voices can make a difference.
New trial exhibits in Doe v. Ladapo: DOH worked with Genspect leaders Stella O’Malley and Joe Burgo in July 2022; Hilary Cass met SEGM’s Patrick Hunter to discuss Florida’s anti-trans report; Jamie Reed’s attorney Vernadette Broyles chose the lineup of detransitioners speaking at the Board of Medicine
