Canadian Father Jailed After ‘Misgendering’ Daughter Lands Win In Appeal Court
Daily Wire ^ | August 29, 2023 | Amanda Prestigiacomo

Hoogland — who was featured anonymously in the Daily Wire documentary “What is a Woman?” — took legal action after a Canadian children’s hospital in 2018 told him that his daughter, who was then just 13 years old, was going to be injected with testosterone, despite Hoogland refusing to give his consent. In British Columbia, the Infants Act permits minors to consent to their own trans treatments if doctors think it’s in their best interests; parents’ consent is irrelevant.

Disagreeing with the hospital, Hoogland said his daughter needed time and mental health support, not transgender medical interventions that can be irreversible. Testosterone and other trans interventions have been linked to fertility issues, lower bone density, and a host of other problems.

The court said that the girl could move forward with the testosterone and said Hoogland was barred from publicly “misgendering” his daughter, meaning he couldn’t refer to his own daughter as his daughter. Moreover, Canadian media was banned from publishing Hoogland’s name in any coverage via a publication ban. Hoogland told The Daily Wire such bans allow people to hide what they’re doing to children, despite these same people claiming trans treatments are helpful, good, and even lifesaving.

Despite the court conditions, Hoogland continued to speak out and was thrown in jail after he talked about the case and referred to his daughter as his daughter during an interview with The Federalist. For this, Hoogland was found in contempt of court, effectively committing what the Canadian court deemed “family violence.”

" . . . if doctors think it’s in their best interests . . . "

Isn't that referring to the doctor's bank accounts?

Eph. 6. [12] For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

This is too insane to even grasp. Injecting a 13 year old with testosterone and jailing her father.

Like a horror movie.

And the kook doctors and judges think they are following “science”.

From the BC government page:

“ The legal age of consent to sexual activity is 16 (except where young people are close in age). When a child is at risk or is being sexually assaulted, it is your legal duty to report the crime.”

So, she’s not old enough to consent to sex with a doctor, but she can consent to one who wants to chemically castrate her.

Go figger….

Ideology follows interests, for doctors no less than politicians and other people in business.

What kind of a person and country makes a law that criminalizes a father referring to his daughter as his daughter?
Canada is led by a small group of wackos who know very well how to manipulate ill-informed and frankly stupid voters.

A government doing this too - governments are supposed to protect citizens against this kind of thing. Instead, they are the ones doing it.
Canada, Germany, and more and more the USA — if you can move, do.

This is great. I’ve listened to his story and it is criminal what the government schools and so-called doctors did to this child and her father.

Also, at the time I listened to this awful saga, I thought to myself that at some point in the future, the daughter is going to ask “Why didn’t you stop me?” or “Why didn’t you stop THEM”?.

This father will be able to say, “I did all that I could”.

“This father will be able to say, “I did all that I could.”

Actually, he didn’t.

“This is what happens in a gynocracy which includes most of western society.”

That’s a good term for this kook world.
