The Conservatives have now entered the war on gender ideology fully. They ve been dipping their toes in the pool, and now they re going for a swim. Today, a bill was introduced in Alberta that would ban the use of hormones and purity blockers on minors, and Justin Trudeau has gone on the offensive about it.
00:00:00.000A pretty big victory for the people who support parental rights or against the mutilation of children or medical experiments in children, or anyone who really had an opinion about anything 10 years ago and then looked around and said, where's the world going?
00:00:13.920The Conservatives have now entered the war on gender ideology fully.
00:00:19.660You could say the last few weeks they've been dipping their toes in the pool.
00:00:26.720So you had Danielle Smith in Alberta, so that's Canada's most conservative province, finally put forward a bill to say, okay, enough with the purity blockers and irreversible surgeries for minors, right?
00:00:41.020Not banning it for adults, still libertarian, adults can do what they want to do, but we're going to stop children from getting these crazy surgeries.
00:00:48.920And then Polyev, after sort of being a bit silent on it for a while, then went out and when asked about it, would defend Danielle Smith.
00:00:58.580And then when asked about it again, he sort of doubled down in his defense of Danielle Smith and sort of continued his defense to a bit more of an attack.
00:01:06.420One of the things he did say is, you know, the reason why you are not pointing out what is actually in the bill is because you don't want what is described in the bill to be said.
00:01:44.400Now, the numbers are much likely higher than that.
00:01:46.760But the important thing to note here is this is Polyev unprompted going on the offensive.
00:01:54.240And this is what we need if you want to win this argument is a bit of offense here.
00:02:01.320Because this issue, like many others, but this issue in particular in the political realm is mostly one on framing.
00:02:10.860And this is something the political left is very, very good at.
00:02:13.380They take ideas like, hey, we're just going to start performing wild medical experiments on your kids for progressive causes.
00:02:20.760Now, if anyone is scientifically inclined, you would know there's no way we have any viable long-term studies on the effects of purity blockers, hormone treatments, or surgeries on these kids.
00:02:32.540And if anything, the early data indicates, well, one, people who get these surgeries are more likely to commit suicide than not.
00:02:38.460And again, the big scaremonger on this is if you don't go along with what these radicals say about your kids, they will kill themselves.
00:02:45.340Turns out if you go along with what the radicals say about your kids, they're more likely to kill themselves.
00:02:49.860And the vast majority, about 60 to 80 percent of the kids who experience some gender confusion, by the end of puberty, they just come out and realize that they're most likely homosexual.
00:03:00.640And they come to grips with this and live happy and productive lives.
00:03:05.400But the way the left has been framing this is, yes, they've used the suicide scaremongering thing, and that's just a lie.
00:03:10.660But the gender affirming care, health care for transgender youth.
00:03:14.900Are you against health care for transgender youth?
00:03:17.000Are you, like, no one would be against that.
00:03:20.100But are you against medical experiments on kids, removing healthy sexual organs on kids, irreversible hormone therapies, and all this, right?
00:04:57.700It creates social cover, and it also helps frame the narrative here.
00:05:01.960Because if you're going to win the battle against the radical gender ideologues, it's not going to be won with beta here and saying testosterone numbers, this and this and this and this and that.
00:05:11.320It's going to be won by framing it for what it is.
