A majority of this sessions' bills introduced by the CAQ target people, take away human rights, or make it impossible to challenge the government. Is Quebec experiencing its own fascist turn? My latest, on one of those attacks.

“My own experience prescribing puberty blockers has demonstrated enormous psycho-social benefits in youth who feel a quiet desperation watching their bodies change in ways they can’t control […] A puberty blocker provides them with a pause […] with no effects on fertility, and is 100% reversible.”
