Due to a publication ban, the father can only be known as C.D. C.D.’s lawyer, Carey Linde, points out that a 14-year-old child is unable to consent to their own sterilization. As a father, C.D. felt that he had to protect her.

Not only was the daughter transitioning without his consent, but social transitioning at school and medical decisions were made without his knowledge.

Using the BC Infants Act as justification to treat the girl as a mature minor, the school and doctors refused to disclose what was happening. The father did what he thought he had to do by speaking out publicly. This was an act of civil disobedience.

Carey Linde wants to go over the consent form that the child signed, but the judge is chastising him because the consent form had been posted to the internet. Carey Linde says that has nothing to do with why he is bringing up the consent form but the judge won’t hear it.

Heated exchange between C.D.’s lawyer and the judge. Judge finally says carry on and Linde gets back to the consent form. Right there on the form it says that the cause of gender dysphoria is unknown.

Linde says if the cause of gender dysphoria is unknown, how is the diagnosis and proper treatment determined?

The consent form states that the impact of puberty blockers and testosterone are unknown. It also states that reproductive organs may need to be removed in the future. How can a child consent to this?

Linde says it’s important that the judge understands why C.D. did what he did. Rightly or wrongly, the judge needs to understand the motivations of the father. Judge Tammen continues to chastise Linde, basically questioning his ability as a lawyer.

Judge Tammen says he can’t connect the dots regarding why the father posted the consent form online. Really, judge? His conscience told him to. This isn’t hard. His child and thousands of children are coming to harm.

Linde brings up the High Court decision again, about how these treatments are experimental. The father objected to his daughter signing a form that says she agrees she may become sterile, and he felt he had to act. The judge says this has nothing to do with the publication ban.

This judge says he can’t understand why the father felt the need to break the publication ban.

They just went in circles for 10 minutes, at times quite heated, and are now moving on. Carey Linde is reading more from the consent form: it states testosterone therapy has risks that are unknown.

Linde gets back to the Tavistock decision. The issue at the heart of this is whether a child can give informed consent. Seeing as we know very little about the long-term effects of these drugs, obviously they cannot.

Linde says C.D. doesn’t know how the consent document ended up on http://massresistance.org Crown Counsel immediately object, saying it’s been admitted to. Linde disagrees. Judge brings up a previous hearing about a document that ended up on http://thefederalist.com

In short, the judge isn’t sure he believes C.D. The judge sees this as the most egregious violation of the publications ban: the posting of the consent form on http://massresistance.org

There is a break while Linde and Crown Counsel try to hash some things out regarding who posted the document.

Judge Tammen brings up
@jordanbpeterson, who the judge alleges helped spread a narrative that C.D. was arrested for calling his daughter his daughter. Tammen says he has no intention of issuing a probation order that prohibits C.D. from privately discussing his child’s gender.Show this thread -
The judge says C.D.’s GoGetFunding page is a clear breach of the court order, because he had his own likeness on it and it identified him by his name.

The judge asks if there should be any financial penalty associated with the breach, or if these “ill-gotten gains” from the fundraiser should be allowed to go to the father.

Carey Linde, FYI, works pro bono for C.D. as part of the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms.

The judge just stated he very much is considering imposing an additional term of imprisonment, beyond time served. He thinks 45 days in prison is “woefully inadequate.”

Apparently the first lawyer worked pro bono as well.

Correction from earlier: Carey Linde is not associated with the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms. My mistake.
