Dear Marlaina (Danielle)

So, you say you want to “depoliticize” the debate over your proposed horrors you wish to inflict on Alberta’s transgender youth?

The answer to that is “drop the legislation”. Do not proceed with it.  Do not attempt to restrict transgender people through legislation.  

To me, this is no different than your recent pandering to the fools who think “chemtrails” are a thing.  You need to stop giving oxygen to the frothing lunatics who have detached themselves from reality.  Not a single thing you have said about transgender people is true and making laws based not on evidence but misinformation is simply wrong. 

I’m sure that the discourse within the UCP is that all this “hate” coming from “the left” is entirely just “politics” - after all “the left” is never willing to be “reasonable”.  (Or so it seems to go within UCP circles). 

Who did you consult with?  You didn’t consult with the professionals who work with the transgender community, nor did you consult with the community itself and its organizations.  Consulting with a handful of trans folk who happen to belong to the UCP (and apparently believe the same nonsense you’re spouting) isn’t consultation.  

You want to talk about protecting trans youth?  How about protecting them from the bullying and harassment that they are subjected to constantly?  How about doing something to promote their humanity?  Instead, you make them out as some kind of threat to society.
