the province’s “draconian measures” run counter to expert guidance, violate constitutional rights and will lead to unimaginable harm and suffering.

Expert guidance? Didn't realize that groomers and social media attention seekers counted as as "experts" now. And, again, the hyperbolic claims of disaster if their demands aren't met.

Alberta is violating the human rights and bodily autonomy of affected youth by denying them access to puberty blockers and other therapies.

Once more trying to frame this as a human right instead of catering to kids who are either manipulated or mentally ill. Just waiting for the day when we normalize hacking off arms and legs because some pubescent dumbass high on Tiktok likes identifies as crippled...

An excerpt from one of the reporters' bios:

Alanna Smith joined The Globe and Mail’s Calgary bureau in April, 2022. She is passionate about social issues... [blah blah blah] She holds a Bachelor of Journalism and Women and Gender Studies from Carleton University in Ottawa.

So there's why what's written was written.

Ban gender studies as a major. Ultimate source of this evil.

Unimaginable. Like if the Holocaust and the Darfur genocide had a baby, and the Holodomor and the Rwandan genocide had a baby, and then somehow those two babies met, and fucked...that's the kind of harm and suffering we're talking about here.

But see, you just imagined a level of suffering right there. So clearly, either your example is wrong or it's not actually unimaginable after all. It has to be one of those two, it can't be both.

I think these people just haven't ever experienced any real problems but the lizard brain is still working in existential survival mode so they go on about making bizarre problems for themselves.

I think we should just do what a lot of countries do and make military service mandatory for a year or something. Not sending them to combat or anything. Stick the 17 year olds in boot camp for a year and have them work on public work projects like national park maintenance and the like.

The 'expert' that the CBC quoted in their coverage is naturally Hershey's Woman of the Year Fae Johnstone.

I wonder how many of Hersey's bars with his face on it had to be removed because they expired.

I won't touch them. Let them rot.

I understand your frustration, but I don't think letting the situation worsen is the best course of action. It's possible that you could end up with a bigger problem on your hands if you don't take care of it now. I would suggest reaching out to a professional who can help you deal with the situation in a safe and effective manner.

The salt must flow.
