Für in Alberta lebende Transsexuelle wird das Leben immer schwieriger, sagen Befürworter

>“The impact of this legislation is to stop trans kids from becoming trans adults,” explains Newbert. “It sends a message to trans adults that you’re not desirable in this province… we don’t want more people to come out and be themselves, we want less.”

Yep. The intent is to erase and eliminate trans people from existing.

We saw similar examples when being anything than [heterosexual was not protected until 1998](https://decisions.scc-csc.ca/scc-csc/scc-csc/en/item/1607/index.do), six years after BC and 12 years later than Ontario. Alberta actively [fought same sex marriage recognition](https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/alberta-may-invoke-notwithstanding-clause-over-same-sex-marriage-1.528949) even after all the provinces and the federal government legalized it (See also [this nugget](https://cphs.ca/on-this-day-in-history-albertas-bill-202/)). Other provinces started to expand LGBTQ+ and SOGI initiatives starting in the 1990s, while Alberta has been working to eliminate them, and began outright banning them in 2024. In [2019](https://docs.assembly.ab.ca/LADDAR_files/docs/bills/bill/legislature_30/session_1/20190521_bill-008.pdf), they took efforts to ‚out‘ youth by enabling schools to tell on their students if they joined a Gay-Straight Alliance club. They also basically made the formation of such clubs no longer possible.

Honestly, if it was possible, I wouldn’t be shocked if the UCP passed laws to ban the presence people relative to their melatonin in their skin, or which version of the Abrahamic god they claimed to worship.
