A transgender woman cross-dresser has lost her appeal to have Ontario pay for surgery to soften her masculine facial features.
Facial feminization surgery can provide results that can’t be achieved with hormones alone, surgeons have reported, and can allow trans feminine individuals “to be recognizable as women to others.”
But critics say governments must draw the line somewhere.
Canada is the most permissive country in the world regarding legal and medical gender transition processes for minors, a new report has found.
Canadian policies tend to be less strict than those in Northern and Western European countries, according to the findings of a landmark study series from the Calgary-based Aristotle Foundation for Public Policy and Do No Harm, a group of health-care professionals and policymakers who advocate for keeping identity politics “out of medical education, research, and clinical practice.”
Elon Musk says he was “tricked” into allowing one of his children who transitioned from male to female to take puberty blockers.
The chief executive of Tesla and Space X claimed he had been told his child, formally named Xavier, “might commit suicide” if he was not allowed to undergo gender transition.
The billionaire businessman said that as a result of the therapy, he had “lost” his son, now aged 20.
A new Arizona State University study suggests that Diversity, Equity and Inclusion efforts in the United States military are ineffective.
The study done by the university’s Center for American Institutions argued that there is a emphasis on training new soldiers about social issues like “unconscious bias” and “intersectionality” in a way the center says runs contrary to typical American ideals. The study examined DEI plan’s in different sector of the military, including DEI office staffing and education at academies like West Point.
No child has ever been born in the wrong body. It’s a simple message—the true ones usually are. Yet in our muddied times, this statement has become so controversial so as to prompt a Canadian father to lay down a stable career in finance to take to the streets wearing a sandwich board to make this, and other similar proclamations of basic truth, known to the world.
The Justice Department may be trying to prevent the release of sensitive information about misconduct in youth gender medicine.
Things are going poorly for the World Professional Association for Transgender Health. Documents unsealed in Boe v. Marshall, a lawsuit challenging Alabama’s ban on hormonal and surgical transgender procedures for minors, reveal that WPATH manipulated the evidence review process when drafting its recommendations for treating youth and adults. It then misled the public and colleagues in the medical profession, claiming that its eighth version of “standards of care” (SOC-8) was “developed using an evidence-based approach.” Eli Coleman, SOC-8’s committee chair and lead author, claimed that the SOC-8’s developers employed “the most rigorous protocol in the world to ensure these standards reflect scientific evidence and meet the needs of transgender patients.”
Chris Elston—known online as ‘Billboard Chris,’ a Canadian activist often seen wearing a sandwich board reading “children cannot consent to puberty blockers”—has been censored by the Australian eSafety commissioner.
JK Rowling has described as “nonsensical” past comments made by Anneliese Dodds on gender as the Labour MP was announced as women and equalities minister.
The Harry Potter author has become known as a fierce advocate of the rights of biological women after criticising Scottish government proposals to introduce self-identification for transgender people.
Queer rights are in danger in Canada. Pierre Poilievre owns some of the blame
For years, Ipsos has been asking individuals around the world for their opinions on Queer people. And for years, the pollster has found, those opinions have steadily improved. People had been growing more and more supportive of the LGBTQ community with each passing year, especially in Canada.
In 2011, more than six-in-ten Canadians said people should be open about their sexual orientation and gender identity; even more voiced support for anti-discrimination laws; more, still, endorsed Queer couples adopting children.
But this year, those trends suddenly reversed.

The trans movement is in full bloom. Many are scratching their heads as to how we got here.
A survey of the last two centuries reveals that it was long in the making, with deep roots found in feminist ideology, as discussed at length in my book, The End of Woman. Feminism ushered in significant shifts in thinking about women, fundamentally changing the way Western civilization considers biology, language, and law.
The U.S. Naval War College hosted a lecture last week featuring a trans-identifying Space Force colonel to discuss LGBT “experiences.”
Titled, “Learning from the developmental journeys of LGBTQ+,” the June 17 event was co-headlined by Col. Bree Fram, a male astronautical engineer with the U.S. Space Force who proclaims to be a woman and uses “she/her” pronouns. According to his website, Fram — who acquired a master’s degree in National Security and Strategic Studies from the Naval War College in 2021 — is “currently stationed at the Pentagon to lead space acquisition policy development for the Department of the Air Force” and leads the branch’s “LGBTQ+ Initiatives Team.”

Wilson Wilson has launched a human rights complaint against what they call a concerted attempt to get them out of the classroom.
It’s believed to be the first action of its kind in the province.
This was inevitable. Canada is far behind the rest of the world in ending this nonsense.
A Canadian court awarded a trans-indetified male, who claims to be a woman, $35,000 after an Ontario women’s salon refused to wax “her” male genitalia. The salon employee working that day was a devout Muslim woman who refrained from physical contact with men, and the salon owner told the trans woman that they could not find a way to accommodate her request.
A leading feminist campaigner has said police have been investigating her for almost a year over a social media post she wrote about a transgender doctor.
Maya Forstater, 51, said the Metropolitan Police is examining a post on X, formerly Twitter from June last year in which she said Dr Kamilla Kamaruddin “enjoys intimately examining female patients without their consent”.
Law enforcement officials in Utah are searching for a transgender suspect after two people were found murdered in their home this week.
