Episode Details

Albertas government, led by Premier Danielle Smith, has implemented a ban on gender-affirming care for children under fifteen, citing the Cass Review from the UK as justification. This move, shielded by the notwithstanding clause, has been linked to increased suicide attempts among trans and non-binary youth in other states and has caused a significant drop in mental health among Canadian trans and gender-diverse youth. Despite this, studies show that gender-affirming treatments can reduce suicidality in young people. The ban has sparked controversy and raised questions about the balance between caution and care for these young lives.
