A legal challenge against Saskatchewan’s parental rights policy is underway, with a court granting joint intervener status to both a gender dysphoria support group and a parents’ advocacy group.

The Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms (JCCF) announced on Sept. 20 that the Saskatchewan Court of King’s Bench has granted intervenor status to the Gender Dysphoria Alliance (GDA), formed in 2021 by two trans men, and Alberta-based Parents for Choice in Education (PCE).
