So Canadá is going to let trans people get treatment with informed consent model, right?
Right?
Some of our states are really good for trans people. A map of which regions yo avoid would be far more helpful than a blanket warning.
They already do allow trans care via informed consent.
Healthcare is under provincial jurisdiction, therefore this varies depending on where in Canada. My province doesn't offer informed consent HRT.
It is but... Which province? I help trans people get HRT and I know of/have lists of available doctors who will do it via informed consent in every province.
I know I'm a random internet stranger so don't doz yourself here, but if you feel comfortable messaging me I'll help out if you need.
I live in New-Brunswick, and there used to be Clinic 554 in Fredericton which did informed consent, general trans healthcare, and abortions, but they closed down due to lack of funding.
The way it generally works here as per my friends on hormones is you get a letter of recognition from a WPATH-certified mental health professional, and then get a referral to an endocrinologist via your family doctor. Navigating the NB healthcare system sucks for everyone, but trans patients are even more limited.
Dr. Sara Thomas, Mount Allison University's gender-affirming care clinic. Is what I have for informed consent in NB.
I'm glad to hear there's another avenue for people other than waiting to see an endocrinologist (they have pretty long wait lists here) but from what I can gather you still need a referral from another healthcare professional, contrary to Clinic 554 which did do self-referrals.
Yeah I'm only really familiar with Quebec
Erin Reed maintains a pretty good one:

Wow, that's some serious third world country shit. Horrifying!
Holy shit, that is so fucked up wtf.
Yes her map is good, I just wish it didn't show "states with a possibility in 2 years" in such a dark red color as it is misleading when compared to like... Actual bad states.
Not getting treatment with informed consent =/////////= US risks
If trans people die after being denied by the sexologist, then the safety is illusory.
We cannot exist when we are merely tolerated.
Some of the states actually do give a fuck about us and it's important to call that out along with the states that want us dead.
I agree with everything you said, but the comment I replied too doesn't relate to the post.
The post refer to states in the US were LGBTQ members are literally being shot dead.
