US EditionMLA Armstrong: Can we protect women’s rights without discussing what a woman is?
- Last month, MLA Tara Armstrong asked the Legislature the question, "What is a woman?", focusing on women-designated spaces and minors' gender procedures.
- Armstrong called on the government led by the NDP to prohibit gender transition treatments for minors, highlighting concerns about irreversible effects and the absence of demonstrated benefits.
- Key supporting information highlights that more than half of transgender children and adolescents have mental health diagnoses, there is a lack of proof that gender-affirming treatments improve these conditions, and incidents have been documented where patients were encouraged to fake suicide attempts to obtain such procedures.
- Armstrong questioned how one can defend women's rights without defining 'woman', while Attorney General Niki Sharma insisted laws will "respect and stand up for the rights of all people."
- The event highlights ongoing debate over biological sex definitions, safety in women-only spaces, and calls for scrutiny of gender transition practices on minors amid expanding industry concerns.
