Conservative MP Derek Sloan has sponsored a parliamentary e-petition calling for a 'moratorium' on the medical transitioning of transgender youth under the age of 18. However, Sloan hasn't said whether he personally endorses the petition’s contents.

online as a transgender identified male. It has garnered more than 6,600 signatures. That’s well over the 500 signatures required to force the government to issue an official response within 45 calendar days of the petition’s tabling — which can be expected near the end of this year.

"It's a national petition on why there's an increased number of kids in the foster care system that are being transitioned versus in the regular population. And so that's something that has been a passion for Jenn for a long time, nobody else wanted to sponsor it and so I said sure."Speaking to CTVNews.ca in a telephone interview, Sloan's chief of staff Benjamin Martin said their office is open to considering the sponsorship of any petition that comes across their desk.

Sloan finished fourth in the Conservative Party leadership race. Still, speaking to reporters on Wednesday, he said he stands by the sometimes-controversial positions he took during his campaign. CTVNews.ca reached out to O'Toole's office for a statement on Sloan's decision to sponsor the e-petition. "Everyone in Canada deserves access to quality and compassionate health care – and that includes access to gender confirming surgery," said van Koeverden in a written statement.

Trans minors aren't getting surgery in the first place tho

Any surgeon getting involved in this type of surgery on young people is crazy - it’s asking for a heap of trouble. Stick to burns, cleft palates etc...

What gender affirming surgeries are children undergoing?

This is great news

Are all CPC_HQ members buttholes? DerekSloanCPC Stay out of others lives.

Why is this a bad thing? Thought it was accept your body, size, gender , race dress and act who you are, why have dangerous surgery? I want to be a dolphin

Dr's that perform this surgery and the families should be charged for abuse. Who in their right mind would operate on a child based on a mental disease telling them they were someone / something else! This will be the next generations big lawsuit to deal with.

Agreed 100%. An adult level decision such as this should be made by a legal goddamn adult.

Good man

Based. Shouldn't you guys at CTV be more worried about your connection to the WE charity tho?

We don't let minor children get tattoos, drink alcohol.. or have sex with adults( until the liberals push to change it) . Why would you purposely destroy their healthy bodies to fufill some ideology .I thought we were better than religious mutilation.

👏

Ok so

Isnt it refreshing to have someone standing up in a sea of stupidity? And there's a lot of stupidity going on.

He should keep his nose out of the private affairs of families.

The prefrontal cortex (with which we understand long term consequences)uses the natural cascade of hormones to mature, and that maturity isn’t complete until approx. age 25.

The “anti-gay conversion” Bill, as it stands is a gay conversion Bill as it includes the restriction of some therapies for gender dysphoric youth who would mostly be gay and lesbian if not medicalized. TransTheGayAway ReleaseTheGba

Studies show 80-90% of dysphoric youth will desist from dysphoria if allowed to go through puberty without being medicalized w/ puberty blockers &most will be homosexual. With puberty blockers, ALL of those will go on to cross-sex hormones, which cause sterilization.TransGayAway

Trudeau hasn't released the Gender Based Analysis that was supposed to be done on BillC13, claiming cabinet privilege. See JenniferAnne_s's research. ReleaseTheGBA cawsbar

LisaLittman1 's study on Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria. Social influence is a factor. And brains don't develop fully so as to fully understand longterm consequences until in the 20's.

3 transmen screaming to stop medically transitioning kids. Media, stop ignoring them!

My youngest daughter is on the spectrum. Her educational asst told me that all ASD girls she was working with, except ours, was identifying as trans. Our kids' counselor, who works with ASD kids, could only affirm. Red flags all over!! But we aren't allowed to discuss this.

Wow! Impressive CTV. It takes cajones to provide news. Good Job! May actually watch again.

He truly is a slimy politician.

Yeah and thank god, if you haven't noticed us trans adults are screaming, 'STOP med trans kid, please.'

Jenn Smith is trans. So is Scott Newgent. Listen to trans people on this.

You might want to take a look at the scandal brewing in the UK. Puberty blockers for pre-teens, told they're totally reversible only to find out they sterilize the child. Lawsuits are starting. Canada needs to reverse course on this and pronto before more kids are hurt.

Excellent proposal. I’m not against these procedures completely, but live life and learn to be comfortable in the skin you have before taking such a radical step to change it. You are amazing and don’t need to alter your image at this age.

Thank you Mr. Sloan. I feel like the Conservatives are the only ones who can put the brakes on this gender craze masness. They have my vote.

CTV👉'The petition also calls for an inquiry into why 'vulnerable children' engage in gender-affirming surgery.' ACTUAL 👉'inquiry into why so many vulnerable children (including high numbers of autistic children) are going on to medically transition.'

Why do weirdos always want to control what happens to others, especially when they have no idea whats involved or going on.

Finally some good news for once.

The media is going to campaign against Derek Sloan this election.

You can't get a tatoo til your 18 but it's OK to chop off your duck and slap on a pair of tit! Seriously though

The transitioning of minors is a matter between the child, medical professionals, and, hopefully, parents who want their child to receive what they need. It is NOT anyone else's business. Stop trying to make the world in your image. It's selfish and cruel.

Liberal MP need to take a stand against bad ethics and black face before they claim holier than thee grandstanding

It’s insane that this is even controversial

Mr O’toole time to dump Sloan. An albatross for your neck and to the Conservative party.

Is this really the quality of your questions or concerns.

'However, those positions are putting Conservative Leader Erin O'Toole in the hot seat, as some Liberal MPs have taken to social media...' Why aren't Liberals in the hot seat for pushing their child sterilization ideology? CTV is so corrupt.

If you or your Canadian readers would like to know more, see cawsbar wethefemalescan GenderReportCA .

Shouldn't have to. It is a discussion that is needed. Life altering decisions need to be made as an adult. The experiment so far has shown some success but just as many tragic failures.

Mr. Sloan also sponsored this parliamentary e-petition asking that the Gender-based Analysis which by law should have been done for BillC16 be released to Canadians. It never has been. No one's seen it. Was there one done? Why not a story on this?

Thanks for telling Canadians about this petition. I'm sure many more will wish to sign it. There is also this parliamentary e-petition re BillC8 , sponsored by MP Tamara Jensen, open for signatures 'til Nov 20/20.

Exactly right. Who in their right mind would let a child transition. It’s a decision that should be made by adults. Kids don’t want this it’s the crazy parents

It's child abuse at the least, damaging for life at the worst.

Thats a good thing, you want your children to be told if they wanna be a girl they can and vice versa in school? 50% of transgender kill themselves. Not because of society. Because its a mental health issue. Wake up people.

Excellent

good luck with that, too many brainwashed people in Canada

This is the new CPC_HQ under ErinOTooleMP? New leader, same cowardly positions.

Uhm as a left leaning and more open minded person than most I think, might I make the unthinkable comment about perhaps this being something we need to discuss as a country? Because we really haven’t, and yet it appears to be a closed subject for many. Too many.

Children should never be given cross-sex hormones. It’s dangerous & happening right now in Canada even though some with hidden agendas deny it. Why are we allowing off-label use of prescription drugs when we have no clue what the long-term affects will be?

This is actually legal today A child Disgusting

No kidding. Like we should even NEED a law for this abomination of a practice. It is Marxist Canada I suppose, after all. So no surprise we are here.

They can’t vote or drink alcohol but they can mutilate their genitals, makes sense
