Alexei Pushkov, Chairman of the Federation Council Commission on Information Policy, spoke out sharply against a group of Canadian deputies proposing to introduce criminal punishment for situations where parents forbid underage children to change their sex.

Earlier, the Ukrainian-Russian political scientist Vladimir Kornilov posted on his Twitter information that a bill submitted to the House of Commons is being discussed in Canada, according to which it is proposed to provide for a real term of imprisonment of up to five years for preventing their minor children from performing sex reassignment surgery. …
This is some kind of madness, the Russian senator believes.
“The complete madness of Canadian deputies, obsessed with the topic of gender reassignment. We live with them in different worlds. 5 years in prison should be given for prompting a child to change sex - that's for sure,”Pushkov shared his thoughts.
