Authorities To Arrest Canadian Father If He Refers To Trans Child As Her Real Sex
The Federalist ^ | 04/29/2019 | Jeremiah Keenan

Posted on 04/30/2019 8:53:23 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

Last Wednesday, The Federalist reported that the Supreme Court of British Columbia, Canada, declared a father guilty of family violence for his polite refusal to refer to his daughter as a boy in private, and his repeated choice to affirm in media interviews that she is a girl.

At about the same time that story was published, the Supreme Court issued an additional, more heavy-handed “protection order” from the same ruling. The three-page document declares that the father, Clark*, will henceforth be subject to arrest, immediately and “without warrant” if any police officer has “reasonable” grounds to believe that he has in any way referred to his daughter as a girl in public or in private.

The new order further stipulated not only that Clark must not discuss his daughter’s sex or gender identity in public, but also that he cannot share court documents describing his own gag order. On the one hand, this demand may seem ironic, since it covers a publicly available court ruling. On the other hand, the injunction is so broad that it naturally includes the very document upon which it is written and that document–with its threats of immediate arrest without warrant–has not, as of yet, been made available on the court’s website.

As previously reported, the BC Supreme Court ordered in February that 14-year-old Maxine* receive testosterone injections without parental consent. Accordingly, Maxine began regular injections at the BC Children’s Hospital over the last two months.

Her father, Clark, strongly objects to this treatment and immediately sought to reverse the decision in the BC Court of Appeal. “[These injections] will completely disrupt her puberty,” he lamented to The Federalist several weeks ago. “Her bones will stop growing, her brain will stop developing… and she’s not gonna be a boy. She won’t even have the bone-strength left to be a girl anymore.”

Hoping to raise awareness, Clark answered multiple requests for interviews in which he shared his opinion that puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones were not right for his daughter. Like an increasing number of parents these days, Clark argued that his child had been misled and brainwashed by online activists and school administrators, who began to treat Maxine as a transgender boy at school, without informing her parents, when she was only 12 years old.

While Clark sought (and received) anonymity in these previous interviews in order to protect his daughter’s identity, the court appears to have been deeply disturbed by the negative publicity and politically incorrect commentary surrounding its decisions. In a ruling last week, Justice Francesca Marzari convicted Clark of “family violence” for his “public denial of [Maxine’s] gender identity.”

At the same time, Marzari also issued an order expunging from the court record the names of two doctors who had been actively involved in pushing a gender transition for Maxine. One of these doctors, Dr. Wallace Wong, has recently come under fire for potentially diagnosing as much as 20 percent of the children in his local orphanage system with some form of gender dysphoria.

While Marzari presented this tamping down of information as a matter of strict necessity, some argue that the BC Supreme Court is showing a lack of concern for freedom of speech and the open court principle. Kari Simpson, the president of Canadian pro-family organization Culture Guard, complained that the “BC Court has become a Star Chamber,” using raw power to rewrite reality.

“This is extreme and dangerous,” she said, arguing that the court was forcing Clark to embrace a “delusion” about his daughter’s gender and her “abuse” at the hands of doctors, or else be arrested.

Clark’s appeal of the court’s original ruling regarding testosterone injections into his daughter is set to be heard on May 14.

This is wrong. It defies reality. If she was born a girl, she will die a girl despite what liberals choose to say. Her father knows the truth and the state has no place involving itself in their family.

My thought is the same. How does the coroner enter the information on the death certificate if the “patient” is unable to tell them their preferred gender?

Here is America, while we still have it, there is freedom of speech (with limitations from the Swamp).

Motorpsycho Nitemare (1964 song by Bob Dylan) :

He still waits for me
Constant, on the sly
He wants to turn me in
To the F.B.I.

Me, I romp and stomp
Thankful as I romp

Without freedom of speech
I might be in the swamp

We must all bend the knee and kowtow to our mentally deranged overlords who refuse to accept reality.

This is both wrong and evil. At this point, the safest thing for the father would be to give up the kid to the State. It’s their responsibility now. That’s what they want. They got it.

The only way this father is going to be able to speak his mind is to figure out how to become part of an even more protected class than the transgenders, then he will be free to say anything. Maybe he could self identify as a furry or an Indian casino...

This is how the Khmer Rouge started.
Children having their parents arrested.
It was so bad the Vietnam military had to come in and eradicate the Khmer Rouge.

‘Delusional’ Jurists?? In Canada? Oh my.

Sad. Parents are just breeders yaknow. Once the kid pops out, the state runs the show.

Canada has become a remarkably Orwellian (1984) landscape, with all of the critical elements except constant war. Canadians have, in just a few decades, destroyed their Church, Islamized their cities, bowed to every whim of their heavily unionized and homosexual CBC, feminized their boys, and de-feminized their girls, all in a puff of cannabis smoke. Towering over all her terrified sissies, The Government, with almost unlimited powers.

Like Mexico, there is absolutely no reason to invade and take them over (2 weeks Max).

Why? WTF would we do with them after we defeated them? Their culture is gone along with their manhood.

They would become nothing more than Puerto Rico light.

Am I wrong?

Jack Parr was criticized for comparing the infiltration of homosexuals in an organization to infiltration by Communists.

This took place in Canada which, IIRC, banned the Bible (or parts thereof) and certain songs as being homophobic.
I will also never forget that Canada offered sanctuary to the draft-dodging, American cowards of the 1960s.
WTF Canada?
