Canadian psychologist Dr. Jordan Peterson slammed Ontario Premier Doug Ford’s stance on Alberta Premier Danielle Smith’s proposed legislation to curb gender-affirming care for minors.

Last Monday, Ford told reporters he would not take “any similar action” in Ontario. “We have a law here, we’re leaving everything alone,” said Ford. The Progressive Conservatives choose instead to stick with the mainstream opinion that surgically or chemically altering a child’s gender is “care.”

The Alberta United Conservative Party (UCP) said it would prohibit gender reassignment surgeries for minors 17 years old and under and puberty blockers and hormone therapies for ages 15 and under. The new policy will require parental consent and permission from psychological professionals for 16- and 17-year-olds seeking such medical intervention.

The proposed legislation includes the requirement for minors 15 and under to have parental consent if they wish to change their names and pronouns at school and parental notification for 16- and 17-year-olds.
