Lawmakers seem all too happy to experiment with the delicate balance between ability to consent of a minor and difficulty of gender change.

did any lawmakers actually experiment yet?

afaik, all countries where law even touched this issue, it was only activist judges, stretching some other legal precedents over this new niche, that made any decisions.

Huh, I can't find any. I was mistaken.

All I could find is mandating tolerance and awareness of LGBTQ issues: Canada.

I could have sworn I had seen something like that, but it was probably just case law, as you say.

fuck... this is kind of close to home for me and was completely unaware despite trying to keep an eye on such changes.

In Canada we did have a case recently where a dad was gagged by the court from even speaking about his kid being put on hormone treatments by the mother after the divorce.

The news here memory hole such events pretty tight. 99% of the public completely unaware of any of these cases aside from how "trans people targeted by bigots constantly". on reddit, r canada has been deleting any post on the topic for several years now.

my only hope at this point is that these native train blockades that nearly crippled our economy for 2 weeks, might have given the local conservatives a chance to take the federal government in next election. Right now Canada is completely dominated by left wing parties.
