The first openly transgender person to run for the federal Conservatives warns that a policy adopted by the party over the weekend could harm gender-diverse children if it ever becomes law.

However, Hannah Hodson said she feels it's unlikely the contentious policy would be a top priority for the Conservatives if the party is voted into power.

The proposal, which passed with assent from 69 per cent of the voting members, came from a riding in British Columbia. "To all the people who have told me they love me, support me, and would fight for me, and who are now telling me to calm down and just go along with this," she wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.The vote comes as the issue of children and gender identity is gaining traction among Conservatives in both Canada and the United States.

Over the weekend, delegates at the Conservative convention voted on a suite of amendments to the party's policy handbook, ranging in issues from foreign affairs to the environment and health.
