Indigenous Leaders Defy Danielle Smith's Sex Change Ban | Bridgehead Briefing Ep. 80

The satellite Cree nation of Alberta has announced that it is planning to defy Alberta Premier Daniel Smith's ban on sex change treatments for children by offering them on reserve land outside of provincial jurisdiction.

Pretty wild story.

And it also highlights the growing alliance between LGBT activism and indigenous activism, which is a really bizarre fusion of an ancient people who lived in Canada from time immemorial and also a gender ideology that is roughly a couple of decades old.

So let's get to the story here.

Bill 26, as you might remember, we covered it on the Bridgehead briefing.

The Health Statutes Amendment banned medical professionals from performing sex change surgeries on anyone under the age of 18 and prohibited the prescription of puberty blockers or cross-sex hormones to minors except by ministerial order.

The United Conservative Party government also invoked the Charter of Rights and Freedoms notwithstanding clause to block the courts from blocking implementation of the law.

This presented a pretty big problem for LGBT activists because they've basically depended on judicial support for the enforcement of their agenda.

And now they're being really forced to try a different tactic because the law was passed, the notwithstanding clause was invoked, and the massive public backlash that LGBT activists were predicting in Alberta never materialized.

So on September 9, at an event to mark the 150th anniversary of the signing of Treaty 6, Saddle Chief Dale Steinhauer stated that she will be working to ensure that sex changes for minors will be able to continue in Alberta, but on Indigenous territory.

And trying to read her comments in the context of Indigenous history is really a ride in revisionist history.

And so let's take a look at this.

Here's what she said at Fort Pitt Provincial Park, Saskatchewan.

No longer will our children and families have their rights taken away.

The right to a sex change for a minor might be a brand new thing but here we are.

When one group's rights are removed we are all affected.

End quote.

All right.

The satellite Cree Nation is 170 kilometers northeast of Edmonton, and according to the CBC, it is now, quote, working to attract clinicians to provide care on its reserve land and starting to, quote, fundraise to develop its health law and defend it against potential legal challenges.

So here's another quote from Steinhauer.

To the medical profession and regulatory bodies like the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Alberta, when will you stop this violence? End quote.

So she ignored the fact that sex change treatments for minors can cause permanent infertility, disfigurement, and a range of other long-term and irreversible damage and has been rejected, of course, by medical bodies in the United Kingdom and other places.

But apparently not perpetrating sex change treatments on a minor is violence rather than the other way around.

And to help buttress this point of view, they produced Dr. James Makokas, a Saddle Creek creed doctor who identifies as two-spirit, which is a term that was first coined in the early 1990s, and he echoed Steinhauer's characterization.

That is a public emergency that has to stop, he said.
