The Canadian helping U.S states defend anti-trans laws
Since 2020, state-level politicians in the U.S. have passed dozens of bills that LGBTQ advocates say are anti-trans. When it comes to defending these laws in court, states have been turning to an unlikely ally: Toronto psychologist James Cantor. He\u2019s testified in more than 20 cases in the U.S. involving transgender issues.\n\nToday on Front Burner, CBC investigative journalist Jonathan Montpetit on Cantor\u2019s influence, and how his scientific expertise is being weaponized by conservative Christian groups and Republican politicians to roll back trans rights in the U.S.\n\nFor transcripts of Front Burner, please visit: https://www.cbc.ca/radio/frontburner/transcripts\n\nTranscripts of each episode will be made available by the next workday.
