The Canadian Paediatric Society on Tuesday announced that Dr. Natasha Johnson, a pediatrician and adolescent medicine specialist at McMaster Children’s Hospital in Hamilton, Ontario, would serve as its 2026 to 2027 president.
The announcement prompted immediate outcry on social media from critics of pediatric gender medicine, given Dr. Johnson’s position as a leading Canadian provider of gender-transition interventions to minors at the McMaster gender clinic she directs.
