Nearly half of Canadians support banning Child Genital Mutilation
Nearly half of Canadians support banning surgery and hormones for trans kids: exclusive poll
Nearly half of Canadians believe gender reassignment surgery for minors should be prohibited and support bans on hormone prescriptions for children, according to a new national survey of more than 2,000 Canadians.
The findings of the Postmedia-Leger poll come on the heels of Alberta Premier Danielle Smith’s announcement in late January instituting sweeping changes to transgender policies across the province. Smith unveiled new rules strengthening parental rights of consent for youth transitioning in schools, outright bans on top and bottom surgeries for minors and restrictions on how hormones can be prescribed to treat gender dysphoria.
