Nearly half of Canadians support banning sex change operations and life-altering hormone treatments for children, according to a recent poll. After hearing more about what these radical procedures actually entail, we re going to tell you about a Canadian surgeon who accidentally told us the horrific truth about these procedures.
00:00:00.000Nearly half of Canadians support banning sex change operations and life-altering hormone treatments like puberty blockers for children, this according to a recent poll, 45%.
00:00:11.320To be honest, that number seems pretty low to me.
00:00:14.480My guess is that far more Canadians will want to protect children from the horrors of these procedures.
00:00:21.760After hearing more about what these radical procedures actually entail, today we're going to tell you about a Canadian surgeon who accidentally told us the horrific truth about these procedures.
00:00:34.660I'm Candice Malcolm and this is The Candice Malcolm Show.
00:00:47.040Hi everyone, thank you so much for tuning into the podcast.

00:00:56.540And head on over to our website, www.tnc.news, to sign up for our newsletter so you never miss a story.
00:01:03.840Alright folks, so on the weekend we had Conservative leader Pierre Polyev share the following post on X.
00:01:12.880And in that tweet, he shares a link to a National Post story telling us that nearly half of Canadians support banning surgery and hormones for trans kids according to an exclusive poll conducted by the National Post.
00:01:35.580So this exclusive poll was done on behalf of the National Post.
00:01:40.740It was carried out by Lege Poehler, which is one of the most sort of credible and authentic pollsters out there.
00:01:48.100The survey asked 2,000 Canadians what they thought about these procedures.
00:01:53.660So like I said, nearly half believe that gender reassignment surgery, which, let's just be honest, they call it gender reassignment surgery.
00:02:02.440What we're talking about is a sex change operation.
00:02:04.280We're talking about removing the external genitalia for young men and women and trying to alternate it.
00:02:12.420So when you hear things like gender reassignment surgery, it sort of sounds benign and vague.
00:02:17.380We're going to talk about in this episode, we're talking about something pretty gruesome, pretty horrific when you learn the gory details.
00:02:25.600But anyway, it says here, nearly half of Canadians believe gender reassignment surgeries, a.k.a. sex change operations for minors should be prohibited.
00:02:32.760And they support bans on hormone prescriptions for children.
00:02:35.900Roughly 5 in 10 of 45% support a blanket ban on these surgeries for minors.
00:02:41.520So that would even include in cases where the parents want it, Canadians are saying 45% of Canadians are saying absolutely not under any circumstances, no way, no surgeries like this for children.
00:02:54.660And that was the most popular response in the survey.
00:02:58.100And on the flip side of that, only 11% said that they think that it should be permitted without parental consent, which is the far fringe position held by Canada's left, held by the Liberals, that basically kids should be able to do whatever they want and that their awful, backwards, bigoted parents shouldn't have a say, basically.
00:03:22.120So that's the extreme side, only 11% on that side.
00:03:25.260And so similar rates of opposition, 42% were registered for puberty blockers and hormone therapies for children age 15 and under.
00:03:33.560Apart from those who had already begun the intervention, slightly over a quarter, 26% of Canadians felt that such medical interventions when paired with parental consent were appropriate.
00:03:43.300So again, we've got 45% saying no way under any circumstances, 26% saying, okay, fine, they can do it, but only if their parents say they can.
00:03:52.540And then 11% saying that kids can make these decisions without their parents.
00:03:58.600I think, like I said, that those numbers are a little off.
00:04:02.480I've seen other studies that show far more Canadians opposing these surgeries.
00:04:08.020And I think that the more we learn about what these surgeries entail, the more likely you're going to be to oppose it.
00:04:14.040One of the great things that Pierre Polyev did when he was interacting with the media on this topic two weeks ago, and Danielle Smith did this too, is that they make the journalists actually state the policy they're talking about.
00:04:25.140So you hear left-wing journalists and people like Justin Ling who just talk about this, they frame it as access to health care.
00:04:31.600Why are you opposed to access to health care for kids?
00:04:34.720That makes it seem like, hey, you know, I don't want anyone to not have health care in Canada.
00:04:39.940I think that we should do a much better job of letting people have health care.
00:04:43.540And so the idea is that it's just about access to health care.
00:04:47.300Pierre Polyev stopped Justin Ling in that interaction and said, well, what specifically are you talking about?
00:04:52.520And what he's specifically talking about are these sex change operations.
00:04:56.780And once Canadians get past the euphemism and learn what it is, I think they're much, much less likely to support these kinds of procedures.
00:05:06.800And let me just give you a little bit of a trigger warning that the content I'm going to be talking about is very graphic.
00:05:13.100I'm going to tell you about what these sex change operations actually entail because there's a big story, big breaking news that came out of the United States about Canada.
00:05:23.340We were at this point in Canadian media where foreign countries, foreign press do a better job of doing journalism in our country than the Canadian media outlets because they're so agenda driven and they're so obsessed with their political affiliation to Justin Trudeau and just doing exactly what Justin Trudeau wants them to do.
00:05:42.420And so when it comes to breaking stories like this, I mean, you have a couple of independent players like True North, but you're still seeing a lot of scoops coming from other countries.
00:05:52.140So we had the Daily Caller, which is a U.S. news foundation, broke the scoop.
00:05:58.000And this is a story that was picked up by the Daily Mail.
00:06:01.560So here is a scoop over in the Daily Mail.
00:06:03.440It says top Canadian surgeon reveals the truth about sex change ops.
00:06:07.800Unearthed video lifts the lid on ill-trained doctors, dying appendages and dreaded complications.
00:06:14.080So this came to us courtesy of the Daily Caller.
00:06:17.940And it talks about this doctor in Montreal named Dr. Alex Langani.
00:06:22.640He says the lucrative trans medical industry has grown too quickly.
00:06:26.340Surgeons don't get enough training in rush to provide top and bottom ops.
00:06:31.080Okay, so basically what happens is these doctors won't come to the media and tell the truth about what's going on.
00:06:40.080They don't want to ruin what is a very lucrative business and potential business model for them.
00:06:45.160But when they're behind closed doors, when they're talking to each other in more of a clinical setting, they're much more likely to just sort of be open and honest about what is going on.
00:07:00.200That footage was made public via records requests from the Daily Caller News Foundation.
00:07:04.780And then this one particular doctor, Montreal doctor, Alex Langani, who is a clinician at Canada's Metropolitan Centre of Surgery, made these damaging revelations about the pretty bad, what he calls the bad effects of sex change operations while he was addressing colleagues.
00:07:22.800And again, just to warn you, this is pretty graphic and pretty horrific what we're talking about.
00:07:26.240But basically what Dr. Langani is saying is that there's a huge rise in interest in this.
00:07:32.160Like all of a sudden, there's a huge rising number of trans patients who want these kind of surgeries.
00:07:37.460The hospitals don't want to turn them away because it's a big potential money making part of their business.
00:07:43.560But the problem is that there's a lack of training and they're not properly trained.
00:07:47.120Because of that, there's just been absolutely horrific outcomes when it comes to these surgeries.
00:07:53.980They're rushing to do the surgery, but they're not properly trained.
00:07:57.980And because of that, many, many of these surgeries go wrong.
00:08:00.880So here is a clip of Dr. Langani talking about the results of a male to female genitalia surgery and how basically the most dreaded complications that happen during this procedure.
00:08:48.400I've got a second clip for you here where he talks about one of the many, many issues that come from, again, creating an artificial vagina, essentially castrating a man, creating an artificial vagina.
00:09:01.600And then the outcome of what that patient has to deal with in the future is to play that clip.
00:09:36.400And a British news outlet to report on these, I assume, outside of True North, this story is not going to be covered by anybody else.
00:09:43.440But, again, pretty graphic stuff, what we're talking about.
00:11:08.220He says, or does this graphic display of what you so compassionately promote leave you properly silenced, forearms stripped to produce non-functional pseudo-genitalia by demented sadistic medical monsters for profit?
00:11:23.380If you don't want to see it avert your eyes right now, I'm going to show it just for a few minutes.
00:11:48.260So when you hear left-wing politicians like Justin Trudeau and Rachel Notley and all these other far-left politicians, that is what they're defending.
00:12:14.680Okay, let's go back to Pierre Polyev and that tweet because I think it shows something really remarkable that's happened in Canadian politics over just the past few weeks.
00:12:22.640So we had Danielle Smith come out with this policy.
00:12:24.720At the time, no one else was talking about this in Canadian politics.
00:12:29.280And now here we have the leader of the opposition, presumably the next prime minister of Canada, doubling down on his protection of Premier Smith's common-sense protection of children and protecting kids.
00:12:43.540So you can see Pierre Polyev's tweet right there went viral.
00:12:47.700It's got over a million views as of today, Tuesday morning.
00:12:53.280This triggered them in a way that Pierre Polyev has just become so good at doing.
00:12:57.700So here we have Rachel Gilmore, who's a former journalist for Global News.
00:13:02.160And she responds to this saying, an online poll, which means no margin of error of 2,000 people, not even half support Smith's policy.
00:13:08.600This before the average Canadian is fully informed about the impact these policies will have on youth suicide.
00:13:13.960This is not the win it's being framed as.
00:13:15.960I agree with her that the numbers are probably wrong because this is before Canadians are fully informed.
00:13:20.840And I just think that when they're fully informed, they're going to go the opposite way than what Rachel Gilmore suspects they will.
00:13:26.980Because I think this is one of those situations where the more you understand, the more you know about the policy, the more horrific it is, and the less likely you are to support it.
00:13:36.660So we likewise have a tweet from Sherry Denova, who's a former Ontario NDP member of the provincial parliament.
00:13:43.480And apparently she's currently a minister of the United Church of Canada.
00:13:47.800So she writes this, more than half of Canadians don't have a clue about what they're talking about when it comes to gender diverse children, and neither do you.
00:13:55.900This is a crap poll, and this anti-science propaganda will result in the suicides of our most vulnerable children, who already have the highest suicide rate now, proud now.
00:14:06.120And it was those tweets, this woman, Sherry Denova, that Jordan Peterson was replying to in that earlier thread where he called her a butcher.
00:14:14.480So they basically have one point that they fall back on, which is kids have high suicide rates.
00:14:20.920If you don't let them mutilate their bodies, they will kill themselves.
00:14:23.580It's basically like a suicide threat that you have to do this.
00:14:26.440If we don't do exactly what the left says, the kids will kill themselves, and that's the end of the conversation.
00:14:30.900And it's, I mean, Peterson addressed it, and I think he is right, that the numbers don't even show that.
00:14:37.980The statistics don't even show that there's not a shred of clinical evidence, as Jordan Peterson said.
00:14:42.180I've seen studies that show the opposite, that the suicide attempt rate and suicide rate is actually higher among post-op people for obvious reasons,
00:14:53.260which is that after you have that surgery and you realize that it didn't fix your problems, it doesn't make your feelings change.
00:14:59.100It doesn't address the underlying issue.
00:15:02.060And now you have a mutilated body, and the people who undergo these procedures report all kinds of issues when it comes to, like, discomfort and pain and chronic pain that comes from these surgeries,
00:15:13.680as suggested by that surgeon who is talking about how the surgeons aren't properly trained in what they're doing,
00:15:18.900they don't really have the best idea of what they're doing, and, you know, that actually leads to suicide on the other side.
00:15:25.340So this threat that we always see that this will lead to kid suicide, it doesn't seem to be backed by science or evidence.
00:15:32.600One final reaction to Pierre Polyev's tweet here is a woman named Kristen Raworth, who I believe is a conservative and I believe is a former journalist.
00:15:40.600She wrote this, when gay marriage was legalized in Canada, it still wasn't supported by half the population.
00:15:46.200We don't legislate on minority rights based on public opinion.
00:15:49.280We do so based on what is moral and correct.
00:15:55.800We don't legislate based on public opinion.
00:15:58.320We legislate based on morality and what is correct.
00:16:01.560And in this case, it is not moral and it is not correct to allow children to mutilate their bodies in this way.
00:16:07.480And this whole industry, like Jordan Peterson notes, this for-profit industry that sucks children in and makes them believe that having these surgeries will somehow make their problems go away.
00:16:50.740And this tweet over the weekend is just really him doubling down on that.
00:16:54.340And this is a significant jump for the Conservatives because prior to Pierre Polyev being leader of this party, the party was led by Aaron O'Toole.
00:17:02.880And when Aaron O'Toole was in charge of the Conservative Party when he was leader, back in December of 2022, the House passed a bill banning conversion therapy.
00:17:12.680And it was actually introduced by a Tory MP.
00:17:15.300And so what does this have to do with conversion therapy?
00:17:18.700Well, the name of the bill was sort of a cute trick to make you think of the sort of old school, I guess, Christian summer camps that kids used to have to go to where there'd be an element where they would, if someone was gay, they would try to convince them that they weren't gay or that there was some kind of a therapy that would force them to not be gay somehow.
00:17:38.020And that's what many Canadians think of when they think of conversion therapy.
00:17:41.840The problem with this specific bill, Bill C-6, that was originally introduced by the Liberals and then the Tories jumped onto it under Aaron O'Toole, was that it didn't do that.
00:17:52.540It basically conflated the idea of conversion therapy for heterosexual attraction with trans sex change, basically.
00:18:06.620So I'm going to read a little bit from Barbara Kay's article that she wrote, which was the case for getting rid of this conversion therapy bill.
00:18:15.540The bill is deeply problematic, beginning with a preamble, which claims it is a myth that gender identity can or ought to be changed.
00:18:23.760And then Barbara Kay writes, it is no myth that gender identity can change.
00:18:26.960If one or two of Canada's top tier experts in gender dysphoria research have been consulted in the bill's creation, the working group would have learned that without invasive intervention, 80% or more of gender dysphoric children who identify as the opposite sex revert to comfort in their natal sex post puberty.
00:18:46.020So if you understand that a significant number of these children emerge as gay or lesbian, these scientific experts were not consulted, not a good look for the framers.
00:18:55.620So if you understand that correctly, 80% of children who suffer from gender dysphoria and may think that they're the opposite gender pre-puberty, 80% of them go back to their original sex, to believing they're part of their original sex after puberty.
00:19:10.620Many of them emerge as gay or lesbian.
00:19:12.040So we're talking about 80% of kids change your mind.
00:19:14.240And here we have a bill that's saying that they cannot go to therapy, they can't speak to somebody, they can't try to have a conversation to understand what their feelings are actually about.
00:19:26.380And Dr. Peterson spoke out about this bill at the time, about how it had a silencing effect on his profession, how it meant that psychologists couldn't talk to patients in this situation.
00:19:36.980They were worried about losing their licenses.
00:19:38.380And there's all kinds of repercussions, but it didn't matter, because back then the conservatives were much more interested in just virtue signaling, that they were sort of a new progressive party that was just like the liberals when it came to gay issues and social issues.
00:19:52.320And so here I'll play this clip of the conservatives in the House of Commons, a conservative introducing this bill, and then you can see the unanimous consent that it received in the House of Commons.
00:20:02.440Mr. Speaker, I'm asking for unanimous consent to adopt the following motion, that notwithstanding any standing order or usual practices of the House, Bill C-4, an act to amend the criminal code conversion therapy, be deemed to have been read a second time and referred to a committee of the whole, deemed considered in committee of the whole, deemed reported without amendment, deemed concurred in at the report stage, and deemed read a third time and passed.
00:20:32.440Mr. Speaker, this being a hybrid sitting of the House for the sake of clarity, I will only ask those who are opposed to the request to express their disagreement.
00:20:51.000Accordingly, all those opposed to the Honourable Member moving the motion will please say nay.
00:20:57.680The House has heard the terms of the motion.
00:21:00.040All those opposed to the motion will please say nay.
00:21:05.820There being no dissenting voice, I declare the motion carried.
00:21:14.860I should note that not all of the conservative members of Parliament were in the House that day.
00:21:20.420Apparently they had sent a group over to Europe to go attend NATO meetings and to deal with something that was happening with the sort of Russia-Ukraine war at the time.
00:21:29.620And so several key MPs were not there.
00:21:32.960But you could see how Aaron O'Toole whipped the conservative caucus into everybody supporting transing of the kids, everybody supporting a law making it basically illegal for kids to go to therapy if they're dealing with gender dysphoria.
00:21:50.740And I should note that I called it Bill C-6 and then there in the video it was Bill C-4.
00:21:55.900So originally it was called Bill C-6 and there were some conservatives that opposed it and then they reintroduced it as Bill C-4 and that was when it got unanimous consent there.
00:22:05.700So basically that's where the conservative party was prior to Pierre Polyev taking over.
00:22:11.620I won't blame Polyev for the decisions of his party 15 months ago because he wasn't the leader at that time.
00:22:17.140But it is just worth noting how things have changed.
00:22:20.360So we have Billboard Chris who is a prominent anti-transing the kids activist.
00:22:26.520And he congratulated Pierre Polyev for taking this stance.
00:22:36.940Congratulations to all the Canadians who've been on the front lines raising awareness about this for years.
00:22:41.920We will end child transition in Canada.
00:22:45.400So definitely shows the work that these activists have had in raising this issue and showing us the true colors behind what is behind these surgeries.
00:22:56.400People like Billboard Chris deserve a tremendous amount of, you know, our gratitude for raising this issue and bringing it into the public consciousness as it is.
00:23:06.640You can tell that the country is now shifting and conservative ideas are becoming more popular.
00:23:11.580You saw that many of the activists compare this to gay marriage and how originally people didn't agree with gay marriage.
00:23:19.380And they think that this is just going to be like the next civil rights movement.
00:23:22.440This is going to be the next issue that the left will win on.
00:23:25.900And they can just point to conservatives and say, look at these bigots.
