A Plains Cree physician who practices family medicine in Alberta says it’s shameful that Conservative Premier Danielle Smith is playing politics with transgender issues.
“It’s really important to know that people don’t do this [gender affirmation] lightly,” said Dr. James Makokis, who identifies as Two-Spirit and works directly with trans patients. “It is something that they’ve known their entire life.
“And clinicians do thorough assessments of ensuring that people when they say they’re trans, they’re trans and we just ensure that there’s not medical contra-indications to doing so and there is a thorough assessment process of that.”
On Wednesday, Smith announced a number of policy changes on social media that will restrict medical access to those seeking gender affirmation therapy – especially transgender youth.

“My life started the day I found you in the woods.” Mike’s speech has always confused the shit out of me. A lot of fellow byler shippers disregard the speech as being disingenuous or that Mike was lying for the sake of saving El in that moment but it never read that way to me.
I’ve always kind of just ignored the speech as a whole because I couldn’t figure it out. To me, it felt like what he was saying was real but it wasn’t coming off in the correct way.
However, I realized something about El recently that made the speech make SO much more sense. El is the physical manifestation of hope. El made everyone believe it was possible to find Will, El stood up to the bullies, El is the only reason Mike didn’t kill himself when jumping off the cliff, she gave Hopper hope for the first time since losing his daughter. El is hope.
If El is hope then that means Mike is talking about hope in his speech. “My life started the day I found you in the woods” isn’t a fuck you to Will. It’s not negating the fact that that was the day he went missing. It was the first time Mike had any hope after one of the most hopeless days of his life. El didn’t just give hope that he could find Will but also, that he could DO something, that when Will came back it would be different, no more bullying, no more shitty dads/family, Will and Mike would be safe because Mike now had someone powerful on his side.
His life started that day because for the first time he thought maybe he wouldn’t have to worry about his friends life. The speech isn’t about who El is, the speech is about what El means to him.

It took a Saskatoon jury less than two hours to reject Travis Patron's claim that he followed an off-duty RCMP officer around a downtown mall, yelling racial insults, as a matter of national security.
"Having a jury of his peers, of Canadians, saying no, this wasn't right and what you did was wrong, is exactly what our society stands for and that upheld the administration of justice," prosecutor Lana Morelli said in an interview.
"Some of the things that Mr. Patron put forward as part of his defence in my mind didn't make sense, because it's not an issue of national security that two individuals that have different skin colours are walking around together."
