In December, Smith’s government invoked the Charter’s notwithstanding clause on the transgender rules.
The notwidthstanding clause should not be allowed to over ride international medical consensus, see WPATH.
So if I’m parsing this correctly
The laws generally don’t deny transgender healthcare
An Alberta Judge decided the laws deny transgender healthcare with a “notwithstanding clause”
A court case is challenging the clause use here
The people behind the case want to Amend their challenge
and a Judge has denied the request?
Kind of feels like a string of double negatives. Alberta teens can not not not not not get healthcare.
Smith decided she knows better than the WHO and WPATH so she used the notwidthstanding clause preventing health care of minors who are Trans or Gender Diverse. The organizations that the judge denied where fighting the use of the notwidstanding clause.
I’ll ammend the above
