Alberta Judge Upholds Trans Youth Treatment Ban
Description
Alberta Judge Dismisses Challenge to Bill 26, Banning Transgender Youth Treatments: A judge in Alberta has dismissed a legal challenge to Bill 26, which bans hormone therapies and surgeries for transgender youth under 18. The government argues its a health protection measure, while Egale Canada, an LGBTQ rights group, argues it infringes on federal criminal territory. The law has been criticized for blocking evidence-based care and forcing some kids to go through puberty against their identity. Egale plans to appeal, keeping the battle alive as these policies reshape care for trans youth in Alberta.
