艾伯塔省尽管有条款规定,仍利用保护法律来限制对变性青年的照顾、学校通知和体育准入。 Alberta uses notwithstanding clause to protect laws restricting transgender youth care, school notifications, and sports access.

艾伯塔省援引了尽管有条款保护针对变性青年和成人的三项法律免受法院的质疑,并援引了对儿童福利和法律拖延的迫切关切。 Alberta has invoked the notwithstanding clause to shield three laws targeting transgender youth and adults from court challenges, citing urgent concerns over children's well-being and legal delays. 这些措施限制为16岁以下者提供确认性别的护理,要求学校向父母通知姓名或代名词的变更,并限制在出生时指派女性从事只为女性的体育运动。 The measures restrict gender-affirming care for those under 16, require schools to notify parents of name or pronoun changes, and limit female-only sports to individuals assigned female at birth. 抗议法律有害且违宪的医学团体和男女同性恋、双性恋和变性者团体提出法律质疑。 The move follows legal challenges from medical and LGBTQ+ groups, who argue the laws are harmful and unconstitutional. 尽管这一条款允许该省在长达五年的时间里否决某些《宪章》权利,但这一罕见的步骤引起了对民主和人权影响的批评。 The notwithstanding clause allows the province to override certain Charter rights for up to five years, a rare step that has drawn criticism over democratic and human rights implications.
