Alberta to BAN gender alteration procedures for minors
10/07/2024 // Laura Harris // Views

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith has confirmed that her government will introduce a bill that would prohibit gender alteration procedures for minors.

In a video posted Oct. 1 on her official account on X, Smith said Alberta doctors will be barred from performing gender-related surgeries on individuals under the age of 18. The bill, expected to be introduced this fall, will also restrict access to puberty blockers and hormone therapies for youth under 16, with limited exceptions.

"We are now prepared to introduce the legislation implementing these new policies and will do so when the legislature is back in session," Smith said in the video. "Licensed Alberta doctors will be prohibited from performing gender assignment surgeries on youth under the age of 18 in Alberta."

The proposed legislation would also require that minors aged 16 and 17 seeking puberty blockers or hormone therapies obtain consent from their parents, as well as approval from both a psychologist and a physician. The bill would also mandate that parents must be notified and give consent if a school staff member wishes to recognize a student by a different name or pronoun in a public setting, such as a classroom. (Related: MUTILATED TODDLERS: Biden administration pushing for age limits to be dropped from transgender surgery guidelines.)

"For 16- and 17-year-olds wishing to proceed with puberty blockers or other hormone therapies for gender reassignment, they may do so only if they have parental psychologist and doctor approval," Smith said.

In the video, Smith explained that children need time to understand themselves before making irreversible decisions. She added that "it is vitally important" to preserve the time kids have as youth need to "gain sufficient knowledge, experience and perspective" before making permanent life-altering decisions.

Smith seeks to protect families, especially minors from extreme transgender ideology

In January, Smith made a similar announcement on X, wherein she disclosed her agenda of protecting families, especially minors, from extreme forms of transgender ideology.

Smith announced at the time that the new legislation would not only bar medical interventions like gender-related surgeries and hormone treatments for minors but would also require parental consent for students wishing to change their pronouns, as well as prevent transgender women from participating in women's sports.

Under the proposed legislation, Alberta would prohibit minors under 17 from undergoing surgical procedures like mastectomy, breast construction, vaginoplasty and phalloplasty. The use of puberty blockers would also be restricted to individuals aged 16 or older.

The legislation would also require schools to notify parents before teaching students about topics related to gender identity and sexuality. The policy would mandate parental consent for children up to 15 years old who wish to adopt a new name or pronouns that align with a different gender identity. Meanwhile, parents would be informed for 16- and 17-year-olds who do not require parental consent.

Moreover, the legislation would also protect women and girls from competing against transgender women in sports. Smith promised that the new regulations would ensure women and girls could choose to participate in competitions limited to cisgender women.
