Terrible precedent. What they need to do is make the surgeries not covered under Alberta Health Insurance and make it entirely private to be paid for our of pocket instead of using taxpayers dollars. Voila, all of a sudden no one is trans anymore.
The queers won't stop at that. That's not what it is about. A trip to the third world for cheap surgery is still well within reach. But even if it weren't within reach, that's not what it is about.
If a bunch of 18yo commies want to pay to chop their dicks off then commit suicide; good, I say. I hope they all do that as long as it's not on my dime.
psh, why should the collective well-being of the society concern you? hell, i say you should put up posters. "everyone, mutilate and kill yourselves. as long as it's legal, and not stealing MY money!"
If one values his current rights, he shouldn't care about it unless the people start favoring slavery to the state. In Western societies, there's been very little in between the poles of "as long as it doesn't harm others" and the "you are subservient to the state/community" of ungabunga tribalism, unless you were of a certain class or in a special position. Every pseudo-intellectual foolishly fashions himself as of that certain class.
But there are those of us that know, consciously or instinctually, that worrying about "collective well-being" too much is how you lose your freedoms, because eventually those in power reach the conclusion that all the retards are incapable of self-sufficiency and behavior, and strip everyone of various rights. I'm in favor of pulling the pendulum back and fixing society to where there's a balance, but I swear there's some that yearn for a hard clampdown. Some people can't or won't change, and forcing them to do so, instead of letting them face the consequences of their actions naturally or legally, is how you run the risk of trampling over others.
Do you still not realize that the problem isn't bad actions but bad people? Even if you close one avenue of attack they will keep finding other ways to agitate and subvert.
Until the people who hold the bad ideas are either exiled or are so scared of consequences that they not only don't act on those bad ideas but break ties with those who do, there can never be peace.

Well they will MAID them selves anyway. So in the long term this will save alberta money.

It is about being transgressive.
You not paying for it stops little.
It stops me from caring.

If all the bad people in society killed themselves then society's well being would improve.

Oh, I'm with you but banning the surgeries doesn't get rid of them either. That just further invigorates their zeal.
and as long as state power doesn't compel me to play along.
So?
