woman has been arrested for carrying out an arson attack on the Montreal surgical clinic that is the only place in Canadian providing the most complex forms of gender reassignment surgery. Yet, there has been much speculation in the media she was a former patient whose surgery was “botched” at the clinic. Jayne Ellen Heideck, 42, was detained Monday by RCMP officers in Kelowna, B.C., and is being returned to Montreal. While a trans person might be able to get cosmetic or upper body surgeries elsewhere in Canada, the private Montreal clinic is the only one in the country that performs the most complicated genital surgeries. Heideck has family in Nanaimo, B.C., Oger said, adding she last spoke with her days before her arrest.
