New Law Makes CA Sanctuary For Trans Kids, Parents

Changing America reports:

California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) on Thursday signed into law a bill to make the state a refuge for transgender youth and their families.

The measure, effective Jan. 1, is designed to shield families with transgender youth under 18 from being criminally prosecuted if they travel to California to obtain gender-affirming health care for their children from states where treatments including puberty blockers and hormones have been decried as “child abuse” by elected officials.

“In California we believe in equality and acceptance. We believe that no one should be prosecuted or persecuted for getting the care they need – including gender-affirming care,” Newsom wrote. “Parents know what’s best for their kids, and they should be able to make decisions around the health of their children without fear.”

That’s not what the measure is about. It says nothing about surgery or giving gender affirming care without parental consent. Can’t Republicans ever tell the truth?https://t.co/h0Ymqcm9nC
