Exactly what's happening in Alberta:

UCP: "Parental Rights™ are why we are not allowing youth to choose their preferred names and pronouns!"

Public: "Lets just ignore the dog whistling in those capital letters for a second; you're saying that parents who, in consultation with medical professionals, want to help their non-cis children in transitioning will be supported, because you support parental rights?"

Danielle Smith: "Fuck no. What a ridiculous question. You must be a pedophile for even asking that. I can't abide icky trans people in my province while I'm premier. I was elected, so only my opinion matters. What do doctors have to do with anything? They're not parents and Parents Know What's Best For Their Kids™."
