Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre was recently asked whether his party would oppose medical transitioning for minors. He replied: “There should be no irreversible sex changes for kids, period.”
A North Vancouver town hall erupted as parents rights activist, Chris Elston, who goes by Billboard Chris, took to questioning Poilievre on “gender-affirming care” for minors.
“Gender-affirming care” refers to publicly funded medical and non-medical interventions—such as puberty blockers, hormones, and surgeries—used to support an individual’s gender identity.
