Across Europe, health authorities have pulled back from fast-tracking minors into irreversible medical transitions. […]

And yet, here in Canada, and in British Columbia, the accelerator remains pressed to the floor.

The Numbers We’re Not Supposed to See
Between 2018 and 2023, at least 300 minors in Canada (outside Quebec) underwent double mastectomies—healthy breast removal surgeries—at ages as young as 14. That is roughly one child every six days. Thousands more were placed on puberty blockers or cross-sex hormones, though national data is obscured by design. British Columbia […] likely accounts for a significant share of these interventions.

[…] B.C. continues to align itself with the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH)—an organization whose leaked internal documents reveal knowledge of harm and lack of evidence, but a continued push for medicalization anyway.

The Money Trail
In B.C., gender-affirming care is not only permitted—it is incentivized. All treatments are fully funded under the provincial health plan. […] The system rewards affirmation. Clinics and outpatient surgical centres that are contracted to deliver publicly funded care can schedule full days of chest surgeries without question, often with long waitlists of youth lined up for their turn.

Inside the Operating Room: What a B.C. Anesthesiologist Reported
Recently, an anesthesiologist working with a Vancouver-area private surgical centre described the following:

- Throughput: the centre can perform up to ten double mastectomies in a single day, including on patients as young as 14.
- Payment differential: for breast removal due to cancer, the clinic is paid roughly $400; for the same operation performed for gender reasons, the clinic is paid roughly $1,400 by government.
- Workforce ethics: some nurses refuse to participate in these pediatric gender cases, but the surgeries proceed regardless.

Puberty is not a pathology. It is a human right.

[…]

Because we are now living in an era where interrupting puberty is not only normalized, it is institutionalized. Where the body’s sacred transition from child to adult is pathologized under the language of “affirmation.” Where adult discomfort with gender non-conformity leads to the chemical freezing of youth in developmental stasis. This is not science. It is social engineering.

Let me say it plainly: this is not compassion. It is eugenics in a progressive mask.

[…]

Puberty Blockers: The Sterile Knife of Silence
We are told they are reversible. We are told they are safe. We are told they are lifesaving.

We are told lies.

[…]

Across Europe, nations are retreating from this reckless model. […] Why? Because the risks are profound, and the benefits are unsubstantiated. And yet in Canada and the United States, we have doubled down. It is codified into our legal frameworks. And now we find ourselves fighting—not for luxury, but for the most basic right of all: to grow up.

This is not medical care. This is chemical conversion therapy by another name.

The Psychological Hijack
Children do not come to gender distress in a vacuum. Their identity is shaped in interaction with a world that is fractured, chaotic, and increasingly hostile to real embodiment. They are the symptomatic expression of the world that they find themselves in.

[…]

Rather than address the root causes—trauma, anxiety, sensory integration issues, neurodivergence, social contagion, autism—we reach for the quick fix. […]

We have outsourced the role of elder to clinicians with prescription pads. We have replaced sacred rites of passage with pharmaceutical checkpoints. We have abandoned mentorship in favour of medicalization. And the medical professional can do that in 90 minutes or less—super convenient in a world built for speed.

This is not affirmation. It is abdication.

There was a time when truth was the highest good.
When parents were the guardians of reality, the first line of defence between a child's imagination and the real world.
But we no longer live in that time.

Now, to name what is self-evident—a boy is a boy, a girl is a girl—is considered "harmful."
Now, to parent from a place of clarity and conscience is to risk being accused of abuse.

This is not just an American problem.
It’s not just a Canadian problem.
It is a global restructuring of the family by the State.
A redrawing of ancient lines.
A quiet rewriting of authority—who raises the child, who defines reality, who holds the final say.

We are witnessing a convergence of medical institutions, activist legal bodies, corporate NGOs, and education systems that have all abandoned their original mandates in service of a single ideology: that self-declared identity must override biology, parental rights, and psychological development.

The Rebranding of Abuse
Across western nations, child protection agencies have been infiltrated—not by radicals with signs, but by lobbyists with language.
The term "abuse" is being redefined—repurposed to serve an ideology rather than truth.

Where once it meant neglect, starvation, physical or sexual harm—it now includes:

Refusing to use a child's self-declared pronouns
Raising a child according to their biological sex
Delaying medicalization for the sake of caution
Asking questions
Seeking therapy
Standing firm in the storm of social pressure

And it has been done slowly, deliberately, and—until recently—quietly.

This isn’t justice. It’s jurisdictional capture.
This isn’t safeguarding. It’s institutional grooming.

This is how a faith becomes law without a vote.
This is how a worldview becomes mandatory through policy, not persuasion.
