Toronto: global epicenter for oppression of sex and gender minorities (http://www.boingboing.net/2010/01/07/toronto-global-epice.html)

Thanks to generous provincial funding, CAMH has become a power base for eugenic ideology, though they started calling it "sociobiology" after that whole Holocaust thing. One of the most notable devices developed at CAMH is the penile plethysmograph, a device hooked up to male genitalia to see what arouses the subject (usually administered involuntarily). Though most courts treat this plethysmograph like a polygraph (lie detector) and deem it scientifically unreliable and inadmissible as evidence in criminal trials, that hasn't stopped the CAMH people from using it to create evidence about all kinds of sex and gender minorities
