“This bill, for purposes of this provision, would include a parent’s affirmation of the child’s gender identity or gender expression as part of the health, safety, and welfare of the child.”
This Bill is concerning to many for several reasons. First, it removes parental input into a child’s decision to pursue genital mutilation and intense chemical makeovers. Second, it puts providers in the precarious position of being forced to report parents that suppress their six-year old’s desire to change their gender based upon prodding from teachers, friends, or other unacceptable influencers. Remember, physicians that fail to report child abuse face professional and criminal sanctions. The AMA seems to care little for parents’ rights and for the untenable position California physicians may find themselves in if this law passes.
The science is far from settled on transgenderism and the long-term effects of its treatments. The incidence has skyrocketed from approximately .01% to upwards of 5% of minors, most likely due to societal and social media influencing. Sweden is halting most gender affirmation treatments for minors and instead advocating behavioral health interventions until the patient reaches the age of majority and can make a more informed and educated decision. More countries are following suit.
The AMA seems unconcerned that there is a high likelihood that a staggering number of children wanting to change their gender may not have gender dysphoria and actually are just anxious kids listening and mimicking others. The also seem to be consciously ignoring the lack of data on long term safety and the fact that countries with far more experience in gender affirming care are rethinking their previously aggressive stances.
California Bill AB2098 – this was signed into law in September 2022 but is currently in a legal injunction pending legal challenges. This law forbids physicians from providing informed consent or anything negative or ‘misinformation’ about the covid vaccine. As a law, it provides professional and legal consequences for offending physicians.
“(2) “Disinformation” means misinformation that the licensee deliberately disseminated with malicious intent or an intent to mislead.
(3) “Disseminate” means the conveyance of information from the licensee to a patient under the licensee’s care in the form of treatment or advice.
(4) “Misinformation” means false information that is contradicted by contemporary scientific consensus contrary to the standard of care.”

There is no such thing as an actual transgender. There are attention seeking narcissists pretending to be something they are not, but that’s as far as I am willing to go.
After their dismal showing during the ACA farce and then the Covid scam.... I have lost all respect for ‘doctors’
