      Recently the BC Supreme Court ruled not only that parents cannot withhold consent from risky, permanent cross-sex hormone treatment of young teens, but that referring to them according to their natal sex or even non-preferred pronouns constitutes "family violence".

      Canada, we warned you. @jordanbpeterson @GadSaad @LitigationGuy Meghan Murphy and I all spoke out on #bill16 and that "gender identity"/transgender ideology was being weaponized by our government and activists against free speech, parental rights, and women's rights.

      At what point Canada, will you fight against what is clearly happening? When the government enters your home and takes your children away because you know what they are going through is a phase associated with the challenges of puberty and identity during adolescence?

      Yes I do suspect that there is a tiny fraction of people truly affected and a much larger fraction affected by social contagion, like peanut allergy and autism epidemics, let alone the others discussed in @connected_book

          Thanks for your boldness and clarity in saying this Dr.Christakis! One of the thoughts I've had after reading Connected and much of your research is that it ought to be required reading for policy makers and educators.
