No

 @9J32V7Jfrom Alberta  disagreed…11mos11MO

Same as plastic surgery of any kind it is the person's choice and if it helps them with their happiness it doesn't matter to the public and if they regret it later too bad for them, should be able to do it younger to prevent puberty and without parents due to homophobia

 @9G8XD4Vfrom Ontario  agreed…1yr1Y

It is the worst thing in the world. I don't like it, I don't support it and I will never support it. Nobody should have any ideas about it because it makes our world worse.

 @9TJ6X48from British Columbia  commented…3mos3MO

Exactly I see your point, it creates more drama throughout the world and nobody should support such an idea.

 @9G5FYPVfrom British Columbia  agreed…1yr1Y

Last week over the internet there was a big issue with a woman (their choice) who tried transitioning into a man (their choice) and they regretted it immensely, unless you are above the age of eighteen people should not put any gender transitioning medication in their bodies unless it is needed for a medical issue. Because what if it was you? Or your child/spouse? Actions anywhere for anything have consequences.

 @ISIDEWITHDiscuss this answer...4yrs4Y

No, children should not be allowed to make irreversible life decisions

 @9LTNST2from Ontario  disagreed…8mos8MO

If you are not living this experience, then you shouldn't have an opinion. No person under the age of 18 undergoes any kind of irreversible change to their body, so it's literally a moot point. Let people live their lives as their true authentic selves. This is a decision best left up to the person and their families, not the government or politicians.

 @9LTPJYJfrom Washington  disagreed…8mos8MO

Destroying your body for the sake of a delusional identity is an irreversible change. You die younger, lose your ability to have children, and become permanently traumatised and live a life of regret and grief.

 @9GD7JQHfrom British Columbia  agreed…1yr1Y

Children should not be able or allowed to make irreversible decisions regarding their bodies before the age of 18. And adults should not be able to make those decisions for children. If at 18 years old they decide they want to transition that’s great, but I do not think we know enough about the health effects of not letting children go through puberty and letting their bodies develop fully before pumping them full of hormones and going through life changing surgery.

 @9GZGVCCCommunistfrom Saskatchewan  disagreed…1yr1Y

Essentially everything as said above, this question operates on an entirely false assumption that gender is binary at all.

 @9FSCFF6from British Columbia  agreed…1yr1Y

the number of people with gender dysphoria has shot up immensly and I highly doubt its because were more accepting. Rapid onset gender dysphoria is obviously correct seeing how many people are trans now. the way that transgenders are celebrated and suppoted give some bias when people consider transitioning because its seen as something courageous, brave, and knowing ones self well even though its an illness. seeing teachers intoduce these topics to kids is a very real probelm too as kids will see this as an easy way to get attention and validation and with so much reinforcment the kids will start to completely believe and agree with how they identified even though they dont know what theyre talking about.

 @ISIDEWITHDiscuss this answer...4yrs4Y

Yes

 @9LTNST2from Ontario  agreed…8mos8MO

Allowing a person to socially transition decreases the risk of suicide and suicidal ideation. Please see the PFLAG or The Trevor Project for actually statistics.

 @9YKBK6Mfrom Ontario  disagreed…1mo1MO

While it may reduce the risk of suicide and intent, the idea of doing such a thing in the first place to a child is wrong. In general children are unable to get irreversible things done to their body with or without parental permission for a reason. This should be no different than that, and despite the potential for suicide, what happens if they're wrong? Its just as likely for them to relapse into suicidal ideation.

 @9H4CZ37New Democraticfrom Ontario  agreed…1yr1Y

The precedence of a government being able to say who someone can or cannot identify as is a dangerous road when considering it can potentially be applied to the self-identification of certain political groups and protected classes.

 @ISIDEWITHDiscuss this answer...4yrs4Y

No, and ban all gender transitioning treatments

 @9LTNST2from Ontario  disagreed…8mos8MO

If it's not happening to you or someone you love, then you have no say. It doesn't affect you at all! Your life will go on as normal, so leave these people alone.

 @9LTPJYJfrom Washington  disagreed…8mos8MO

It does affect us if hundreds of thousands of white people living in Canada are being casterated at the sae time as immigrants are being pumped into our provinces and Tyrannical Trudeau is discriminating in the favor of minorities and immigrants. It is part of a process to create a One-Party State.

 @9YJL874from Alberta  disagreed…1mo1MO

You are genuinely delusional if you believe this affects hundreds of thousands of people. Calling Trudeau a tyrant and commenting on his policies when you don't even live in Canada is utter nonsense.

 @9ZHBQHXfrom Manitoba  commented…2wks2W

 @9GZGVCCCommunistfrom Saskatchewan  disagreed…1yr1Y

Gender is an entirely made up concept and to pass any law or bill on the basis that there exists 2 binary categories you must fall into with any amount of authority is irresponsible and does not, by any metric, follow the science. Transgender youth are at a far increased risk of suicide than heterosexual youth for the very reason that they are not accepted among anyone in the community, much less accepted by anyone in a position of power. These issues should at the very least by handled by people who actually understand the science behind it, people who know and study gender for a living, not cisgender men who grew up without even the idea of questioning what gender is.

 @9H4CZ37New Democraticfrom Ontario  disagreed…1yr1Y

Let people be who they want to be. In a literal sense it isn’t anyone’s business but that individual’s.

 @9H23R6Zfrom Ontario  disagreed…1yr1Y

Why ban it when it doesn't affect you and it helps so many other people? Many people end up more happy because of Gender Transitioning

 @ISIDEWITHDiscuss this answer...4yrs4Y

Yes, but only for non-surgical treatments such as puberty blockers and hormone therapy

 @9G2J47Bfrom Alberta  disagreed…1yr1Y

no, due to the fact that puberty blockers also affect your body's hormones. kids are very easily persuaded and they should not be able to make those decisions for themselves and the parents sould not have a say aswell

 @9G4G4TDConservativefrom Ontario  disagreed…1yr1Y

Puberty blockers and hormone therapy messes with a child's development and is not reversible. That's literally what is used to castrate sex offenders (ex:lupron).

 @ISIDEWITHDiscuss this answer...4yrs4Y

Yes, but only if they are at least 16 years old

 @9FSCFF6from British Columbia  disagreed…1yr1Y

16 year olds dont know anything about themselves and their confusion is highly elevated by their hormones. they do not have the capacity to make good life altering decicions and shouldnt be allowed to. why would a kid know so certainly about themselves and about the topic of gender that they think they know whats really best. not only that but transgenderism is not being looked at the proper way, gender dysphoria is a mental illness and needs to be treated as such. making these changes to your hormones and anatomy could be a good option for some, but I think that many would better from psycho…  Read more

 @9FKSZH8from Alberta  disagreed…1yr1Y

if you are under the age of 18, you should not be able to receive gender transition treatment because of how young they are. It can ruin your brain and physical growth and o lot of times people regret it

 @ISIDEWITHDiscuss this answer...4yrs4Y

Yes, but with parental permission

 @9G8DVM4 from British Columbia  disagreed…1yr1Y

children under 13 should not even have talks about the lgbtqa+ community in school because it's a confusing topic if you tackle it at a young age. if young children get encouraged to commit to a gender transition at an early age, they might not like it once they transition. the whole transgender topic is just confusing to me but children should not be told by teachers about lgbtqa+ because it can hurt how they think as well. let children pick their own path before you bring idea's about the Lgbtqa+ community.

 @9GBYY4Pfrom Ontario  agreed…1yr1Y

I heavily agree, ROGD (Rapid onset gender dysphoria) is a serious thing and providing kids with the resources to go behind their parents backs to transition is dangerous to our future

 @ThrillingNominationGreenfrom Ontario  disagreed…1yr1Y

Gender dysphoria is a recognized medical condition. The American Academy of Pediatrics supports affirming care, including puberty blockers, for transgender youths. These treatments are reversible and can provide significant mental health benefits by reducing distress. What if parental disagreement or lack of understanding is causing harm to the child's mental health?

 @corafrom Manitoba  disagreed…1mo1MO

Yes, but only for non-surgical treatments such as puberty blockers and hormone therapy

"Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria" has no basis in fact.

 @VengefulYakGreenfrom Quebec  disagreed…1yr1Y

Yhe LGBTQ+ community from a young age. By doing this, we can create a more inclusive and accepting society. For instance, it might help children who are questioning their gender identity to understand they are not alone and that there is nothing wrong with them. It could also foster empathy in peers who don't identify as LGBTQ+, reducing bullying and discrimination. What are your thoughts about the potential benefits of this type of education, and how do you suggest we balance this with your concerns about confusion?

 @9G9NTNTfrom Nova Scotia  agreed…1yr1Y

Yes I definitely agree with that. It's too much information for kids so just let them be kids until they find out about it around their teen years like how I grew up learning about it.

 @YearningOppositionGreenfrom Ontario  disagreed…1yr1Y

For some kids, gender identity isn't a "wait and see" situation. They know who they are from a very young age, and having to navigate puberty in a body that doesn't align with their identity can be extremely distressing. That's why treatments like puberty blockers exist, to give these kids time to explore their identity without the pressure of irreversible physical changes. What do you think about this? Is there a middle ground that respects both the need for kids to be kids and their self-identified gender identity?

 @9ZHBQHXfrom Manitoba  disagreed…2wks2W

In a review of 27 studies involving almost 8,000 teens and adults who had transgender surgeries, mostly in Europe, the U.S and Canada,

1%

on average expressed regret.

ONLY 1%. IT INCLUDES ADULTS.

Source: How often do transgender people regret transitioning? | CTV News

 @9G5FYPVfrom British Columbia  disagreed…1yr1Y

Once again, if the child at the end of the transition regrets their choice, or isn't pleased with how they appear, that is the parents/childs' fault. No government or medical office should be sued for the patients choice. Which is why the patient should be an adult to make their own legalized choice.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…3mos3MO

What is the best way to balance an individual’s right to express their identity with the need to protect them from possibly making irreversible choices too early?

 @9XKGYP2Liberalfrom Ontario  answered…2mos2MO

Surgeries that are irreversible shouldn't ask the parents for consent, instead, they should put an age requirement of 18+. Otherwise, for treatments that are reversible should have a lower age cap.

 @9XJDXXWfrom Nova Scotia  answered…2mos2MO

I cannot make an informed opinion. I have no idea if it is safe long term. So my go to policy, is when you are able to get a tattoo, you can get transition surgery. Before that I think you are to young and dumb.

 @9XBX4XLfrom Ontario  answered…2mos2MO

 @9X4XJVHfrom Ontario  answered…2mos2MO

i believe people under 20 should not be allowed to decide what they are and who they like.

 @ISIDEWITHDiscuss this answer...4yrs4Y

Yes, as long as treatment is not subsidized by the government

 @9G5FYPVfrom British Columbia  disagreed…1yr1Y

People under the age of 18 should not transition with gender incase of regrets and mistaken identity.

 @8S4YQ5Cfrom Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

 @8SF7HN3from Quebec  answered…4yrs4Y

No, the body and brain need to finish developing before hormone treatment can start in order to prevent the increased risk of mental health problems increasing.

 @8S4TGRSfrom British Columbia  answered…4yrs4Y

No, children need time to decided whether or not they truely believe themself to be the opposite gender of their original sex

 @8S5LPK4from Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, but I think it should be case by case because every body is different and it depends on the health of the patient.

 @9G67KN6from British Columbia  answered…1yr1Y

Yes, with parental permission, at least thought about it for a year or 2 and non-surgical treatments

 @9JQ8T5Jfrom Alberta  answered…11mos11MO

Yes, but only allow 16-17 year olds to receive it with consent from either a parent/guardian or a judge, & require a psychological examination to ensure they fully understand the choice, but also allow for those under 16 but over 12 to access non-surgical options with parental/guardian or judicial consent.

Children’s under 18 years of age should not get gender transition treatments until they turn 18 or 19!

 @9FM9QN9from British Columbia  answered…1yr1Y

 @8S53HJ9Greenfrom Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

they should be allowed to talk to medical professionals if they want to transition when they turn 18, otherwise you shouldn’t transition until you’re 18+

 @9JXFF3Pfrom Ontario  answered…10mos10MO

No, people under 18 do not have a fully developed brain and should not be making irreversible life decisions since they're not fully developed mentally.

 @8TJ222Sfrom Ontario  answered…3yrs3Y

yes, everyone should be given the right to feel comfortable in their own skin, no matter the age.

 @9WQ6TP3from Manitoba  disagreed…2mos2MO

i dont think that it is right if you were born a girl than you are a girl and you cant change it god gave you your gender also under the age of 18 you are still figring it out at least have parental consent

 @9QY4KC9Liberalfrom Alberta  answered…5mos5MO

Yes, but they should undergo psychological evaluations to make sure they are making the right choice for themselves

 @9QW7TQZfrom Ontario  answered…5mos5MO

Yes, anyone should receive any medical treatment on demand, after consultation with a medical practitioner.

 @9WBKKNMfrom Newfoundland  commented…2mos2MO

Absolutely not. Children are just that, children. Their brains are not developed and they should not to be given the freedoms to act as though they are and as though they have the ability to understand and internalize the long-term impact of their choices.

I thought I was gay when I was 16. All I can say I thank heavens that phase wasn't typically accompanied by chemical and surgical intervention.

 @corafrom Manitoba  answered…1mo1MO

Yes, but only for non-surgical treatments such as puberty blockers and hormone therapy

Yes, with some prerequisites

I believe that if the parents and child both agree, the child is 13 or older, and the treatment isn't surgical and/or is reversible (puberty blockers, hormone therapy, etc) then it should be allowed.

 @9XND5BK from Ontario  answered…2mos2MO

Yes, but more importantly we need to change to a culture of acceptance and respect so that people don’t feel a need to transition medically.

 @9WYDMSDfrom British Columbia  answered…2mos2MO

Yes, 14-15 should be the minimum age with informed consent, we should try to get parents involved as having family support is ideal but many families are abusive. this is how it should be for hormones and puberty blockers, surgery should be advised to not be done until the body has stopped developing and when that person has been on hormones and stuff for some period of time. the age for surgery should be at least 18 with some access to someone 17 if its deemed necessary by several levels of authority and the person is shown to fully understand their choice if it is deemed necessary to prevent suicide.

 @9WHRDPNfrom Quebec  answered…2mos2MO

Yes, definitely for non-surgical treatments, and if there is a risk to the underage person's life, surgery has to be legally possible

 @9WBRK8Dfrom British Columbia  answered…2mos2MO

No, with the exception of intersex(xxxy, xxy,xyy,etc) individuals who are making the choice to enhance gender

 @9W93D5Kfrom British Columbia  answered…2mos2MO

Yes, Non-surgical treatments should be able to be authorized at the age of 12. Minors should be eligible for surgical treatments either when 2 years of transitioning occurred or when the minor reaches 16.

 @9TXBP2YIndependentfrom British Columbia  answered…3mos3MO

Yes, only non surgical, unless medically required. Surgical options should require parental involvement and consent under 16.

 @9RQNPMRfrom Nova Scotia  answered…5mos5MO

Only after 25 when the age of sacrifice is passed. Before that people need the freedom to try on different identities without stigma and change their minds. Not to sacrifice themselves on the hill of one thing or another. By 25 you are more likely to be sure of who you are.

 @9RCRJ4Ffrom Nova Scotia  answered…5mos5MO

This isn’t a “yes or no” question. Youth, parents, and medical professionals need to all collaborate on these decisions.

 @9QSRMWF from Texas  answered…6mos6MO

Yes, but only for non-surgical treatments such as puberty blockers and hormone therapy

I believe puberty blockers are fine, they are made to simply pause puberty and it can be resumed at any time. Though when it comes to therapy, it should be psychological instead of hormonal.

 @9FQ2ZJYfrom Yukon Territory  answered…1yr1Y

Yes, It should be case by case and with professional guidance. Government needs to leave this issue alone and support researchers, pediatricians and mental health professionals do their work independently and free of political influence. There are way too many feelings tied to both sides of this debate and that shouldn't be what informs these critical decisions.

No, children should not be allowed to make irreversible life decisions

I feel children make up things, and while I’m not saying a trans-gender child is possible. In fact, I support trans kids in the sense of cross-dressing and pronouns. However, permanently mutilating, even HRT or puberty blockers can do damage that makes the sex organ no longer function, give people infections every month, and make them regret their choices. Because of this, I believe they should not be given cosmetic surgery until they are the age of consent.

 @9HYT9DJfrom Alberta  answered…12mos12MO

these are kids who don't even know what they actually want to eat for lunch. so no dont let them lop off body parts

 @9HCP7QVfrom Alberta  answered…1yr1Y

No. Children cannot consent to such “treatments”. And government should not be misusing tax dollars to fund the mutilation of children.

 @9FFN9P8Liberalfrom British Columbia  answered…1yr1Y

 @9F5KMPVfrom Alberta  answered…1yr1Y

With the guidance of health care professionals and therapists they should allowed to. Every case is different. Some trans kids are at high risk of suicide without medical affirmation and others can wait. This is not a yes/ no situation. The experience of trans kids vary greatly.

 @9F3YN58from Ontario  answered…1yr1Y

These are such big life changing decisions for someone to make, the human brain isn’t fully mature until their mid 20s. People should be allowed to live as they wish but any life altering operation like a sex change should be considered once the individual is fully matured.

 @8TYF9YNGreenfrom Ontario  answered…3yrs3Y

I believe they should be at least 16 years old and no surgical treatments until they’re 18 years old.

 @8TZ4L8Sfrom Ontario  answered…3yrs3Y

No, If the child cannot vote or drink, why would we allow them to change their biological composition.

 @9MH8X9Lfrom Quebec  answered…7mos7MO

Yes, but only for non-surgical treatments such as puberty blockers and hormone therapy

Yes, but also includes atleast 16+(Grade 10 and up). And Surgery routes allowed at 18+

I feel that any qualified minors do have the right to be able to go through transitioning, but limited to just Hormonal Therapy, Puberty Blocking, Birth Control, ETC. Another thing, I feel like oneself sould also be able to go through minor surgeries, examples such as breast reduction/inhancement, or just figure shaping in general to a certain extent, and surgeries should be more strict in who gets it to avoid any mistakes or regret that may or may not form.

 @9FJSRV9from Ontario  answered…1yr1Y

Yes, including surgical treatments, given that proper psychological evaluation deems that it would reduce risk of harm to the individual. This would also require a far more robust and better funded mental health system to ensure there are no exuberant waiting lists

 @9D4YVYKNew Democraticfrom British Columbia  answered…1yr1Y

Yes, and the minor must pass any regularly required assessments for hormones, surgery, or other treatments. Hormone blockers should be more widely accessible to questioning youth. This was written by a trans & non-binary person 💕
