Oh my his daughter dodged a major bullet. She was fortunate to have a dad who was informed and was willing to have those difficult conversations. Two questions. Is there any correlation between family structure and children presenting as gender dysphoric? For example, are children of divorced or divorcing parents more likely to present with gender dysphoria? And what is the likely impact of proposed family law changes which will probably disadvantage one parent (usually fathers) in terms of access to their children?
Unfortunately all the applications and representations from concerned politicians such as this State parliamentary member and also recently from S.A. Senator Alex Antic for enquiry into treatment procedures for Childhood GD will be for naught , for as long as the ALP is in federal government. Their stated policy position remains as stated at their 2018 federal conference to be unequivocally in support of mandatory affirmative treatment protocol, which position is obligatory across all ALP held State governments’ legal jurisdictions. Any reversal of the status quo will require a State by State move to protect future vulnerable children. Queensland is well placed to lead the challenge with an incoming LNP State government in 2024. For as long as Health remains a State responsibility, then presumably any other State in which the coalition gains power, they might follows Queensland’s lead, regardless of a there being persistent federal ALP government?
Bloody good job Dad!! You’re a hero.
wow. What a testimony from a loving father and politician who will now join the fight for more information and actual CARE for these children
