A law in Canada allows the government to remove children from their homes if the parents disagree with their child’s expressed gender identity.

Tanya Allen from Parents As First Educators told CBN News that parents who refuse to allow transgender children to pursue surgical intervention could be seen as doing emotional or physical harm to the child.

“I would argue, getting those surgical interventions and giving a child puberty blockers is actually harmful and not in the best interest of the child.” Allen said. “All the research states this.”

“But the state, in that case… have it within their law now that they could go in and take your child away because you are not supporting the best interests of your child.”
