(Althoughthe covid pandemic is essentially over, we are keeping this important policyproposal from the 2021 election campaign in our Platform to show how the PPC approach completely differed from that of all the other establishment parties.)

Issue

With the active support of all establishment parties, radical woke activists have been trying for years to impose gender ideology and transform society in a way that curtails everyone's freedoms. This toxic ideology, which contradicts basic biological realities, is proving particularly harmful to women and children.

It teaches children that their gender is determined by stereotypes. And if they do not fit into the traditional male or female gender roles, they are encouraged to think they may have been born in the wrong body. Children are never born in the wrong body. Children should be taught to accept themselves, not seek solutions through pharmaceuticals and medical procedures.

Bill C-16, adopted by the Liberal government in 2016, recognized gender self-identification and opened the door to compelled speech. Since then, businesses and government agencies have banned the use of words like “woman” and “mother” in favour of “menstruating people” and “birthing people.”

Women’s rights and security are being trampled to accommodate men pretending to be the other sex. Women are encountering men in changing rooms and bathrooms. Violent male criminals who identify as women are being incarcerated in women’s prisons. Women have to unfairly compete with men in sports.

Cultural fads like Drag Queen Story Hours are promoting this ideology among children and making it appear normal to identify as the other sex or as different invented genders.

Bill C-4, which was unanimously adopted by all parties in the House of Commons in 2021, criminalizes parents and therapists who try to help minors with gender dysphoria accept who they are. In effect, the law bans “conversion therapy” in one direction, but allows it in the other. It is illegal to treat children for a mental disorder, but it is legal to encourage them to undergo “gender affirming therapy” and mutilate their body.

Facts

Most boys and girls suffering from gender dysphoria simply grow out of it. Many suffer from other mental issues such as autism, or are under the temporary influence of a phenomenon of social contagion. Taking puberty blockers at a young age will transform their body and sterilize them for life, when they are too young to evaluate the impact of such a momentous decision.

Sex change surgery involves reconstructing genital organs by using skin and muscles from other parts of the body. These invasive surgeries cause many complications and require lifelong treatments. More and more trans people who underwent such surgeries regret it later in life and want to “detransition,” but it’s tragically too late.

The transfer to women’s prisons of male inmates who self-identify as women has been standard practice in Canada since it was introduced by the Trudeau government in 2018. It has resulted in criminals with histories of sexual abuse against women being housed alongside female inmates, with several cases of violent behaviour being reported in the media.

Our Plan

Canadians who believe there are only two immutable sexes must not be compelled to adapt their language and behaviour to accommodate gender ideology. In particular, women and children must be protected from its harmful consequences. The normalization of transgender ideology, particularly amongst our youth, will have a catastrophic impact on a whole generation if we do not reverse course soon.

A People's Party government will:

  • Outlaw the Mutilation of Minors

    Modify the Criminal Code to outlaw the use of puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and any form of bodily mutilation on minors with the goal of “transitioning” to another sex. Moreover, any person encouraging minors to “transition” will be held criminally responsible for attempting to cause harm.
  • Repeal Bill C-4

    Remove the ban on helping minors who suffer from gender dysphoria accept their body that was imposed by Bill C-4, the so-called “conversion therapy bill.”
  • Defund Propaganda Organizations

    Stop funding groups that promote gender ideology.
  • Remove Porn from Libraries

    Strictly enforce section 163.1(1)(b) of the Criminal Code in order to remove inappropriate pornographic content from schools and libraries.
  • Protect Women's Spaces

    Protect women’s spaces – prisons, shelters, bathrooms, and changing rooms – from intrusion by biological men.
  • Maintain Separate Sporting Events

    Forbid biological men to participate in women's sports regulated and funded by the federal government.
  • Defund Sex Change Surgery

    Abolish federal programs to fund sex change operations for civil servants and prisoners.
  • Repeal C-16

    Repeal Bill C-16, the bill that added gender self-identification as ground for protection against discrimination.
