California Has Gone Into The Gender Affirming Business
Families From So-Called "Trans-Hostile" States Can Now Come To California To Get "Care"
California Gov. Gavin Newsom has signed a bill into law making California a sanctuary state for transgender youth and their families.
Given that some states have enacted laws aimed at protecting children from the clutches of amoral gender clinics, the California legislation is intended to aid and abet those who come to the state to seek “care”.
Senate Bill 107 prohibits the release of information on a young person’s gender-affirming care in response to a criminal or civil action based on another state’s law that authorizes such actions. It also bars law enforcement agencies from knowingly arresting or extraditing someone based on another state’s law against providing, receiving, or allowing a child to receive gender-affirming care.
It further bans the enforcement of a court order “based on another state’s law authorizing a child to be removed from their parent or guardian” for allowing the child to undergo mutilation and lifelong medicalization, as the bill states.
I’d love to see how that’s even remotely constitutional that one state can override the laws of another.
“We believe that no one should be prosecuted or persecuted for getting the care they need — including gender-affirming care,” Newsom said in a statement, according to NBC News, after signing it last Thursday. “With the signing of this bill, California will ensure that these kids and their families can seek and obtain the medical and mental health care that they need.”
And without even looking, this bill has Scott Wiener’s pawprints all over it.
Predictable. Wiener, as many of you recall, is the brain donor behind SB132, the bill (now law) he authored that allows men to say they’re women to gain access to women’s prisons here in the Golden State.
Alabama and Arkansas have passed laws protecting kids from this wholesale butchery, but both are unfortunately blocked from enforcement while lawsuits against them proceed. The Alabama law provides for criminal penalties, the Arkansas one for professional discipline. Texas officials have rightly ordered that parents who allow their children to receive such care be investigated for child abuse, but that order is also largely blocked by court action.
Many right thinking politicians and commentators continue to speak out against sterilizing children though this “care” is endorsed by major medical associations on the most threadbare of science.
There have been several incidents of hospitals having been exposed for providing these “treatments” to minors in recent days though they have vehemently denied they do this.
