Doctors Insist 14-Year-Old Needs No Parent Consent For Trans Hormone Injections

The Federalist: Clark* first found out that his 12-year-old daughter Maxine was being treated as a boy by her school when he saw her new name in her class’s grade seven yearbook. “Quinn” was the new name her counselor had helped her pick out, and Maxine’s school district in Delta, British Columbia, Canada, had decided that “Quinn” should be treated, for all intents and purposes, as a boy.

The district apparently felt justified in leaving Maxine’s father completely out of the loop. Maxine’s school district was operating by the BC Ministry of Education’s Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity (SOGI) Policy, according to which Clark had no right to know his daughter’s “preferred sex, gender, or name” at school.

Presented with a fait accompli from the school district and a daughter who was becoming increasingly passionate about her transgender identity, Clark found himself in a difficult situation. He did not want to reject his daughter’s newfound passion outright but, at the same time, he was cautious about her moving into transgenderism too quickly.

Ever since her parents separated in 2013, Maxine had struggled emotionally to cope, experiencing behavioral problems and depression which Clark felt left her “very vulnerable” and searching for a place to belong. During the same school year that she took on a transgender identity, Maxine had apparently also gone through a lesbian phase. Clark couldn’t help but wonder if her new transgender identity might likewise come and go.  more

  1. …I was pretty passionate about being a rock star when I was 14. The ONLY thing that would have made me happy, in fact, was a huge crowd digging my hot licks.

    Problem was, I sucked at playing the guitar.

    Now, if things THEN were like things NOW, could I have gone and got expensive surgeries for having my fingers lengthened, strengthened, and made more limber, and my nose up-armored for giant lines of cocaine so I could BE who I KNEW I was all along, and WITHOUT having to ask the ‘rents?

    …damn, I could have BEEN somebody, nature and my parents were just holding me BACK…/s

    …and that’s no stupider than what THIS kid wants, and can NEVER have, but 14 year olds tend to change their minds…

  2. “Show me a liberal and I will show you a pedophile or a person who enables pedophiles”

    …that’s why they like Muslims so much, @Samuel the Lamanite. They think they can use them to assert a First Amendment RIGHT to peodphilia, because Mohammad did it and he was the “perfect man”.

    Well, that, and they BOTH agree that they hate America, just for different reasons…

  3. TLC – The Learning Channel – I am Jazz
    Not his/her real name is now in it’s 5th season.
    Ray Lewis – Ravens head scout for new talent is still trying to recruit he/she.
    The results of the transition would diffidently result in a huge benefit, a future 1st string linebacker.
    Consider it, the first NFL eunuch.
    I kid, that was Kapperdick,

  4. “Is it also a hate crime if he kicks this teachers ass for subverting his daughter?”

    …were it MY daughter, @geoff the aardvark, the only thing I’D have to say on the subject would be, “…the counselor died last night? Hm, imagine that. No, I didn’t like the guy, Officer, but I didn’t know about it until just now. Me? I was home asleep all night. Now, I don’t wish to be rude, but I do have other things to do, so if you want to discuss this further, I’ll have to have you talk to my attorney…”

  5. Relating that she went through emotional upset during her parents divorce proves that gender confusion is a mental derangement. Yet the left as sick as they are choose to exploit that fact.

  6. If I were the father, seeing that yearbook page would have been the last day my daughter ever spent in public school.

    Liberals really need to figure out, and get consistent with, the rules. How is it that parents are financial responsible for their children until they’re 18 or so, can be responsible for their health insurance until they’re 26, but have ABSOLUTELY NO SAY in their minor children’s life-changing decisions to get an abortion or undergo hormone therapy?

  7. The parents should change her birth certificate to read bovine. Libs are dead set against giving cows hormones, that’s evil. but some how forcing them on mentally ill kids is righteous

  8. Clark* is a punk. Xhe leaves, xhe’s gone. Get over it you bathetic little infant! The fact that your ex’s child’s school has a way to contact you means that you’re a cancer in society.
