The Transgender Youth Clinic at SickKids in Toronto boasts of taking an “affirming approach to gender identity and care.” Its website states that “being transgender is not a pathology” but rather “an identity.” The clinic has a vision “to provide care to transgender youth and to remove barriers so they can access the gender-affirming care they need more easily.” One of the largest pediatric gender clinics in Canada does not offer psychotherapy to the distressed youth it treats, preferring instead to fast-track young people onto an invasive and irreversible pathway toward sterility and the amputation of healthy body parts. https://thepostmillennial.com/torontos-top-childrens-hospital-rejects-mental-health-treatment-for-gender-dysphoric-minors
