permits the CAS to withdraw a child from its family if it is determined the child is likely to suffer emotional or mental harm, or for a parent’s failure to provide the child with services or treatment. If a child decides he/she is of a gender other than his/her biological gender, the parents are required by this legislation to provide transgender medical services to the child or risk the child being removed from the home.

effectively gives wide jurisdiction to the State to control the lives of children in the CAS, and in doing so, interfere with the parent/child relationship. This occurs by defining the “best interests of the child” so broadly as to include: the child’s physical, emotional, mental and developmental needs, as well as the child’s race, ancestry, place of origin, colour, ethnic origin, citizenship, family diversity, disability, creed, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression.
basically, CPS can take away your kid if you dont allow them to be trans

I really don't think children are old enough to be able to comprehend the enormity of the decision they're making. I had a phase like that but it passed and I'm happier for it. I can't imagine how fucked up I'd be if I got the sex change surgery and realised afterwards I didn't want it.

I think the first solution should be therapy, not surgery. Surgery is not something you can undo just like that

It doesn't mention christians but it can be used to target christian or otherwise traditionally conservative religious families.

a child’s religion is no longer a factor to be considered in determining the child’s best interest. That is, “religious faith” has been removed at nearly every reference contained in the previous Act. No longer can parents direct their child’s religion, but rather it is the “child’s creed” that is to be taken into consideration when determining the needs of a child. This provision will create conflict within the family over such issues as abortion, gender identity or even assisted suicide if the child decides that is what he/she wishes.

"The matters to be considered in determining the best interests of a child are changed. The child’s views and wishes, given due weight in accordance with the child’s age and maturity, unless they cannot be ascertained, and in the case of a First Nations, Inuk or Métis child, the importance of preserving the child’s cultural identity and connection to community must be taken into consideration. In addition, any other circumstances that are considered relevant, including a list of 11 circumstances similar to those listed in the current Act, are to be considered. Differences include: the current Act includes the child’s cultural background in this list while the new Act includes the child’s cultural and linguistic heritage; the current Act includes the religious faith in which the child is being raised while the new Act includes the child’s race, ancestry, place of origin, colour, ethnic origin, citizenship, family diversity, disability, creed, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression"

Why would society trust them to decide on permanent, irreversible surgery and hormone therapy?

There's nothing in the bill that requires permanent irreversible surgery or therapy, only that you must provide your child with transgender medical services if so requested.

In the end that decision probably requires a medical professional to approve of it, although I am not familiar with Canadian law.

It's hysterically easy to get transgender surgery in Canada, and if your doctor refuses for whatever reason you can sue them.

Basically if your 10 year old says "I wanna be a girlie!" and you don't immediately get them surgery and the state finds out you lose your kid.

That doesn't equate to what you said, Shadow. It only could be interpreted that way.

I think that a lot of whether this is good or bad depends on a) material contained elsewhere in Canadian law and CAS protocols and b) How those protocols are applied.

Some brief research indicates that official CAS protocols typically have a cautious definition of "emotional or mental harm". I'm far from an expert on Canadian case law, but the scenario you described is infeasible, as it would be difficult to demonstrate "emotional or mental harm".
-----------VVVVV-------------------READ THIS PART, IT'S IMPORTANT AND I DID A FAIR BIT OF RESEARCH TO ARRIVE AT ITVVVV

Essentially, as my research indicates, CAS decisions are made very much on acase-by-case basis- but at least one of certain criteria must be fulfilled. However, prior to the inception of this law, there was no clause that would allow a refusal of transgender services to lead to withdrawal of children. This meant that anyone under 18 wishing to transition had essentially no recourse if their parents wouldn't permit it.

Secondly, to preempt another question: "Why can't the kiddos wait until they turn 18??" A full transition therapy takes several years, and is most effective (in terms of making the subject biologically similar to the opposite gender) if it's started in the 15-18 year age range. Delaying hormone treatments starting until someone turns 18 means that either they will be less like a normal member of the opposite gender, or have to go through many additional surgeries and treatments.

>They might have to wait until they're 18

Good. Until you're 18 at least you shouldn't be trusted with such a huge decision, especially if you can't even convince your parents.

Now thanks to this bill your parents, your guardians, have absolutely no way of stopping you from going through with it even if they know it's not what you really want.

It's not though.
"transgender medical services" Does not equate to just surgery.
You start with a therapist, and you only proceed down a "medical transition" if you're then actually diagnosed as having GID by said therapist.

All the bill requires (taking the above into account) is that you take your child to a doctor to see if they are actually trans/find out what else could be wrong with them (Body dysmorphia, Depression, etc.)

Now, I might be wrong on some parts because I'm not 100% familiar with how the Canucks do it, but this is how it is with the NHS in the UK.
In the UK you can't (Non-privately, Non-illegally) start a medical transition without being diagnosed (I would HOPE the same is true for Canada.), You can of course, socially transition, and are actually in some cases required to do this for a few months before you can start a medical transition.

tl;dr all the bill requires is that the child's issues are investigated, which should really be true if ANYTHING is seriously distressing someone, ignoring issues (child or adult) leads to poor life choices and often suicide.

A lot of you are right in that they should be required to wait till 18 to medically transition, BUT I believe hormone blockers (that simply delay puberty) should be given to give them the best chance at living a normal life if they do decide to transition.

So basically, let your kid get the help they need for whatever reason(be it trans, depression, whatever) or they take your kid away. Sounds more than reasonable.

Now I'm not a doctor, but I think cutting boys ball off or forcing HRT upon their organism before the end of puberty will adversely affect his mental and physical development.

Pretty sure the idea is to bring kids to psychologists first, not straight to surgery. If it's an actual psychological disorder it's up to the psychologist to tell if it would be more damaging to wait until 18 or to risk operating too soon.
Ignoring it outright, without even consulting a psychologist, will probably hurt development or mental health as well, if it's a serious disorder.

You don't walk in as a five year old and get the surgery, that's bullshit invented by morons.
You go through therapy, get a diagnosis, and go from there.
