The California State Legislature has a bill that would put the right to gender transition above parental rights. Parents who object to chemical or surgical transitioning would be guilty of child abuse and abandonment.
The California bill was introduced by San Francisco Democrat Sen. Scott Wiener, an openly homosexual lawmaker who previously introduced a bill (S.B. 145) allowing judges to exempt individuals who engage in homosexual sex acts with minors from the state sex offender registry if they’re no more than 10 years older than a minor aged 14 and up. The bill has since been signed into law.
As if people didn’t have enough reasons to leave the “golden” state, not that it would be of much use if your estranged spouse stays and is intent on flipping the gender switch with your child.
“Usually, if a parent refuses to return a child to another state after visitation, California courts won’t take jurisdiction,” National Review reported. “But a specific exemption to this general rule is being fashioned when ‘gender affirming care’ is at issue”. …
Families engaged in custody disputes centered around transgender “care” for their kids could find California courts moving in to ensure the child receives destructive hormone and surgical interventions, even against the wishes of the parent opposed to transgender ideology.
According to the proposal, a California court would assume “temporary emergency jurisdiction” if a child is “present in the state” but “has been unable to obtain gender-affirming health care or gender-affirming mental health care.”
If it becomes law, I’d expect it to come into conflict with Constitutionally-protected religious rights, especially if a school or other “government” entity is pushing gender ideology on kids. And maybe that’s what they are after. A Case where they might get a friendly court to set a precedent on “property rights” as it relates to children.
Ugly business, but the Left never sleeps, so neither shall we.
