Parental Rights Group Calls for National Review of Youth Gender Transition Policies Parental rights activists gathered on Parliament Hill on May 5, demanding an independent nationwide review of youth gender transition policies. Speakers argued that Ottawa’s current approach is out of step with European countries and U.S. states that have tightened restrictions on treatments for minors. Genspect Canada’s director, Mia Hughes, called for the review to be modelled after the UK’s Cass Review, which raised concerns about the evidence supporting youth gender transitioning.
