A British Columbia father who was fined and imprisoned for breaking a court order against talking about his minor child's gender transition (which he had opposed) is going to court to have the order lifted.
BC father who tried to stop child's gender transition fights to make his name public | Western Standard | Lee Harding:
January 5, 2024 - "The BC father who went to court to try to stop his child’s gender transition is returning to the courts to allow his name to be made public. CD, as he was known in court documents, was sentenced to six months in prison and a $30,000 fine for breaking the court order preventing public dissemination of information about the case [see video]. The fine was lifted upon appeal and time served was deemed sufficient.
"A publication ban remains in effect in Canada, preventing anyone from calling CD by his real name. The doctors involved in the female-to-male transition of his child had their names concealed, allegedly to protect them from reprisals.
"In an email blast, former MP and Conservative Party leadership candidate Derek Sloan called CD’s legal journey 'a travesty of justice.' He launched a fundraising campaign to help CD go public once again.... 'Now he wants to go after the gag order forcing him to live an anonymous life,' ... Sloan wrote in an email blast. 'He deserves the right to talk about his experience, he deserves the right to have a real existence, unencumbered by draconian rules that could place him back in jail if he slips up on an interview or speaks out publicly about his experience'....
"James Kitchen, who was involved in the case early on as a lawyer for the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms, is taking on CD’s cause once again. 'It's really a travesty that we can't even mention his name. It just goes to show how far the laws have come in Canada in the last half a decade. But what we need to do is take legal action,' said Kitchen in an online interview with Sloan. Because the child involved in the case is now an adult, Kitchen believes little reason remains to keep CD anonymous....
"'It's one thing to be censored so that you can't speak, but then to not even be able to … [use] your name and show your face is a whole other level. It really, really concerns me and disgusts me, and it should everybody, if you care at all, about what it means to live in a society worth living in,' Kitchen said. 'I don't care who the person is, I don't care what the situation is'....However, Kitchen also sympathized with CD’s personal cause to end the gender transitions of minors....
"Sloan said donations could be given by e-transfer to fundingthefight@proton.me with the password “freedom” and “CD” in the memo."
