I heard Lois’s story a couple of months ago and wanted to get it out there, but didn’t know how to approach it. It seemed indecent to use it, even in the greater cause of drawing attention to an appalling situation in hyper-woke Canada, where an assisted dying program (MAID) awaits those, like Lois, who regret undergoing surgery that is experimental, irreversible, and ideological. Thankfully, Lois’s friend Neil Dorin has written this plea for his friend which gives the full story. My thanks to him.
What a sad society we have become. People who could have lived their lives free from physical pain and in need of psychological help and advice pushed along by an ideology which goes against all rational thought.
Such a sad story, beautifully told. I can only hope that Lois’ bravery in speaking out, will deter other young people from taking such drastic action. I hope he is able to enjoy some memorable experiences and can find some happiness and fulfilment knowing that he might be helping others.
A desperately-sad situation and it's intensely infuriating that this insanity goes on - surgical mutilation of people at their most vulnerable, when they most need mental health support. Gender Identity ideology is pure poison and the way in which it got such a powerful grip still seems unreal.
I have always opposed assisted dying because of my fear it would be used on those with severe depression who whilst ill, want to die.
What many fail to understand is that clinical depression is an illness that is trying to kill you. Depressives do not need the medical profession to help clinical depression kill people.
Mental illness is not understood by the wider public, who only see assisted dying as relating to end of life care.
What was offered to this depressed young person was immoral.
At their lowest ebb during a depressive episode, they did not need an offer of assisted dying.
Glad the story is out there now.
When I heard of their plight in December last year, I was incensed that someone whose very real illness was telling her to kill herself, was offered assisted dying.
This policy cannot be trusted in the hands of the State.
I'm so sorry to read this sad account of a friend's concern for his friend. All of this grief and suffering could have been avoided if Lois had received the proper support that he really needed. Instead, we have someone who had their whole life ahead of them contemplating ending that life because of a lie. It's just too painful to think about. My heart goes out to Neil and especially to Lois.

Poor Lois. The way First Nations and Native Americans are still treated to this day is appalling. Stuck in the middle of nowhere, often on land where it's so hard to grow food....few shops, if any at all...
So many of their children put into foster care, adopted out of their own communities, and it used to be that states in USA were paid way more to take indigenous children into care. Ask yourselves why. Covert Genocide, basically, and ensuring the break with their indigenous beliefs and history is broken too. Same as The Indian Boarding Schools...separating parents from children.
Lois is in Canada, I believe...and First Nations still struggling out there.
It's been worrying me for so long about the way that people with mental health problems are being given treatment which means they become unable to have children, and/or are left in terrible pain, sometimes such pain they can't see a way out. It concerns even more deeply when this path is being encouraged for Indigenous Peoples, because, again, there it is, that desire to cut the population down and down. It sounds horrific, but, it's happening. Loads of NPR articles about this out there...
Lois needs the help of all of us. Crowdfunder for medical expenses here:
When will the mutilation become so bad and the excuses so insane (we women suffer from vaginal atrophy), that the lawmakers and politicians will wake up and end this butchery?
What a sad story. I can't begin to understand why ANY Government would follow the dictates of a death cult ,and then when things don't work out for the victims ,simply offer them " euthanasia " as a way to solve the problems created by these policies !! It's truly heartbreaking ,and shows like nothing else how heartless and cruel this ideology really is. It's disciples are rapidly turning into a terrorist organisation for all the world to see and still governments double down on their support for it. I really hope Lois can find peace and have a change of heart.❤️🙏
Suicide prevention was the point of all this, wasn't it? What a horribly perfect illustration of the lie being sold to people.

This really is the most evil of times.

OMG! I know Lois!
Thank you for this, Neil.

Also how about the following for some prize American medical gender-ideology-infected guff. https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/22354-low-estrogen. Have donated for Lois. Please may you continue telling your important story for many many years.

Thanks for telling this very moving story and hope Lois re-thinks. He has good support from his friends and family it seems.

Let me put it this way:
Lois Cardinal is the only trans person I would ever refer to as "she/her" if he ever asked me to, but he never did and never insisted.
I'm heartened by the number of likes on my comment about assisted dying. It's a relief to be understood...at last!
