Canadian Psychotherapist Says That School Teachers are Cultivating Transgender Kids
by Wyatt Claypool, The National Telegraph:
With the passage of the supposedly “anti-conversion therapy” Bill C-6 through the House of Commons there has been an evident lack of knowledge on the bill present in the Canadian public. Most people will just hear that it bans “conversion therapy” and assume the best of intentions, without knowing the troubling negative free speech and parental rights implications posed by C-6.
Dr. Ann Gillies, a retired Psychotherapist, was interviewed by The National Telegraph shortly after the passage of C-6 to get her reaction, and more importantly why there is so little pushback in Canada against the bill.
Dr. Gillies said regarding C-6 that, “I would describe it as a draconian discriminatory bill against sexual minority freedom and rights,” which is a reference to the fact it, in theory, criminalizes those who identify as a part of a sexual minority from seeking any counselling on their own initiative.
Inside the LGBT community is where Dr. Gillies identify the biggest cultural barrier to allowing any therapy regarding sexual behaviour to be allowed, due to an internal community aversion to implying any behaviour can be unwanted or damaging.
Dr. Gillies stated that:
The LGBT community is extremely welcoming but they make it extremely difficult to leave. They intimidate, they ostracize anyone who doesn’t completely agree with them, they minimize the need for counselling, especially for those who have been sexually abused in the community. They want to portray themselves as if no individual in the LGBT community has emotional problems and instead are completely happy and whole, as if they are incapable of experiencing abuse that the rest of the world faces.
One other major issue that the Liberals and NDP tried to downplay regarding C-6 was the ban on any voluntary discussion of sexual behaviour with a councillor, psychologist, or religious leader, which they said C-6 would still allow for.
