Who else would you use them for??

I oppose Poilievre being in government.

It’s hard to understand why his opinion should carry any more weight than mine.

It starts here, Canada. Abortion is next.

Sigh.

I'm so sorry Gen Z, Gen Alpha. We've let you down.

So many words on this topic, so few of them addressing the obvious questions about why doctors might have a use for "puberty blockers" or what legitimate basis politicians could possibly have for wanting to abolish them.

Aren't puberty blockers more reversible than puberty?

Yes. So upon seeing that headline, my first thought is that "for kids under 18" is rather suspect phrasing. Like someone wanted to get "kids" in there no matter what.

The decision to use puberty blockers should be based on a conversation between a young person and their doctor, Boissonnault said.

“I don’t see M.D. after Pierre Poilievre’s name or Danielle Smith’s,” he said. “So, not their business.”
