Medical gender transition among minors: is Quebec moving too fast?

What to do with your body when you doubt your gender? In Quebec, the transaffirmative approach is popular: we accompany adolescents to the destination of their choice. Puberty blockers, hormones and surgeries, it is up to them, after evaluation, to decide. What doesn’t happen, sometimes, without regrets. Nor without risks either.

Reactions

Anti-trans activists were thrilled with the episode.

Law professor Florence Ashley said, “Radio-Canada jumping on the moral panic train by making a whole documentary platforming anti-trans views in the middle of an unprecedented rise in legal persecution towards trans people in Canada. Beyond disappointing. They should be ashamed.”

Anthropologist Rine Vieth said, “J’aimerais savoir pourquoi @iciradiocanada pense qu’il est approprié de faire un documentaire avec des gens de la SEGM, Lisa Littman (de l’étude ROGD réfutée) et d’autres qui ont été montrés comme faisant de la mauvaise science. Il semble également qu’un professeur de mon département de doctorat, qui m’a harcelé ainsi que d’autres personnes transgenres, se trouve ici. Les anthropologues doivent se mobiliser, je suis fatigué.

Activist Fae Johnstone said, “What the fuck, CBC?”

Jurist Celeste Trianon said, “By further platforming anti-trans junk science, Radio-Canada is granting a voice of authority to these bad faith actors who are attempting to erase us, to dehumanize us, to eliminate us from public life.”
