California is on the verge of making it illegal to ‘misgender’ your own child

One of the things the left does is to maintain institutions or rules but pervert their purpose and meaning. At the federal level, the Biden administration wants to take a law meant to ensure that pregnant women are made comfortable at work (e.g., more breaks, appropriate clothes, etc.) and say that one of the things that makes them comfortable is abortion. In California, they’re busy redefining child abuse. That once meant physically injuring a child or engaging in extreme emotional abuse (e.g., “you’re a subhuman maggot” type of stuff). Soon, though, “child abuse” in California may mean “misgendering” your child. Not only is this evil on its face, but it’s also another attack on fatherhood.

The proposed bill is not subtle:

A recently amended California bill would add “affirming” the sexual transition of a child to the state’s standard for parental responsibility and child welfare—making any parent who doesn’t affirm transgenderism for their child guilty of abuse under California state law.

AB 957 passed California’s State Assembly on May 3, but a co-sponsor amended it after hours in California’s State Senate on June 6.

Assembly Member Lori Wilson, D-Suisun City, wrote the bill and introduced it on Feb. 14. State Sen. Scott Wiener, D-San Francisco, co-sponsored it. Wilson’s child identifies as transgender.

AB 957 post-amendment “would include a parent’s affirmation of the child’s gender identity as part of the health, safety, and welfare of the child,” altering the definition and application of the entire California Family Code.

(Scott Wiener, incidentally, is a hard-left, gay, leather fetishist who exists in California’s legislature almost entirely to push the most extreme versions of the LGBTQ+ agenda, including lowering the age of consent for gay sex, decriminalizing knowingly infecting someone with AIDS, a potentially deadly disease,

Arresting parents, taking away their kids because they won’t agree to a DELUSION their child has. Kids have a lot of imagination. Some pretend to be a cowboy, or an Indian.

Delusions change, because they are based solely on imagination. They are not based on reality.

The reality is that there is no such thing as trans. The declaration of trans is a delusion.

one of the things that makes them comfortable is abortion

This is Big Business money speaking. A couple of days off for an abortion is entirely better than maternity leave.

This has been going on for several years in Canada.

RE: A couple of days off for an abortion is entirely better than maternity leave.

In 2022 mid-term election, one of the biggest reasons why the Republican performance was underwhelming was because of the Dobbs decision and the successful scaremongering by the Democrats regarding abortion rights.

It will happen again in 2024.

Define "misgender".

It is the idiot who prefers emotion at odds with the evidence in their pants.

This seems nuts but Gavin Newsom supporters are dead serious.

They don’t see anything wrong with it.

They’re after your kids.

I know one.

If it is illegal for parents to misgender a child (i.e. assign or assume a gender that is different than that chosen by the child), then it naturally follows that it is illegal for teachers and/or administrators to misgender a child.

Bob Hope called it.

“I just came from California where they just made homosexuality legal. I figured I’d better get out before they made it mandatory.”

Does having the name “Wiener” force you to have deviant sexual behavior?

Waaay too much over-reach. There’s no public interest component to how parents deal with their children in this respect. Politicians and bureaucrats this perverted and evil need a date with Mr. Rope NeckTie or Mr. Fire-and-Stake.

This madness will continue until the local citizens shut it down once and for all and make it plain these actions are not acceptable.
