Sacramento, Calif. - State Sen. Scott Wiener is upset that some medical personnel won't provide sterilizing drugs and surgeries to trans-identified Californians or use their preferred pronouns.
So the San Francisco Democrat introduced SB 923 to put pressure on those holding to traditional and biblic views on gender.
The bill forces all medical and health insurance personnel to attend transgender “cultural competency training” classes.
Those who fail to provide “trans-inclusive health care” will have to repeat the training over and over.
“It’s simple: transgender, gender non-comforming and intersex people deserve the same quality of healthcare that everyone else receives,” stated Wiener.
“No one should go to a doctor’s appointment only to be misgendered, harassed, or even refused treatment.”
It includes ”feminizing mammoplasty, male chest reconstruction, mastectomy, facial feminization surgery, hysterectomy, oophorectomy, penectomy, orchiectomy, feminizing genitoplasty, metoidioplasty, phalloplasty, scrotoplasty, voice masculinization or feminization, hormone therapy related to gender dysphoria or intersex conditions, gender-affirming gynecological care, or voice therapy related to gender dysphoria or intersex conditions.”
The list includes using sterilizing drugs and surgeries on healthy reproductive organs of adults as well as minors.
Senator Wiener displays a "totalitarian impulse toward anyone who disagrees with him regarding the nature of gender," the California Family Council said.
"Forced ideological indocrination training is nothing new. Unable to persuade the populace of his point of view within the marketplace of ideas, Wiener now wants to force people into reeducation classes where Christians will be shamed for their faith, and encouraged to sterilize patients and tell them lies about their gender."
What topics will the transgender training classes have to include? The text of the bill is quite specific. Classes must:
Teach the effects of "historical and contemporary exclusion and oppression of TGI communities." (“TGI” means transgender, gender non-conforming, or intersex.)
Teach attendees to recognize “the difference between personal values and professional responsibilities with regard to serving TGI people.” Translation: Christians’ beliefs about the binary, biological nature of gender have to be abandoned if they want to work in the medical field.
SB 923, which Wiener introduced in February, also requires the training above to be facilitated by a TGI-lead organization that includes the perspectives of TGI people.
To get a glimpse of what a TGI training organization might look like, take a look at one of the organizations co-sponsoring this legislation called Break the Binary.
Vincent and Alexander offer a variety of training, workshops, and speaking engagements to organizations and businesses, eager to become more “affirming, equitable, understanding, and empowering world for LGBTQ+ people.”
According to their website, “Breaking The Binary” means “bringing awareness to identities in-between and beyond sex, gender, expression, and attraction binaries. It means challenging the way we think, and replacing this or that with this, that, and then some.” Here are some of their courses and panel topics:
Both were put on the spot by Walsh after they were unable to answer a question about what a woman is by definition.
Wiener’s bill is supported by numerous transgender legal and health organizations.
SB 923 will first be heard in the Senate Health Committee. A hearing date has not yet been set.
Senator Wiener has tried before to punish healthcare workers for “misgendering” trans-identified individuals.
In 2017, then Gov. Jerry Brown signed SB 219, a bill to fine and jail any long-term care workers who refused to use a transgender person’s pronoun of preference.
But in July, the State Court of Appeal struck down the pronoun provision of the law as illegal. The state’s highest court will now make the final decision.

What a productive way for health care professionals to spend their work hours. Much better than actually treating patients.
Senator Wiener? Seriously?
As I told my wife on the day of the Supreme Court’s gay marriage ruling, “We have just opened a Pandora’s Box of sexual deviance.”
Children graduating America’s high schools and grade schools have already taken all these courses. It’s just a refresher course for them! 😔
It kind of reminds me of the forced class we have to take as healthcare workers regarding HIV/AIDS. In order to be licensed in WA state, you had to take that class. It was a load of BS. It taught us the drug protocols of AIDS treatment ( even though most of us would never treat an AIDS patient). There was nothing in the class that taught us how to protect ourselves from blood borne pathogens like HIV.The gay activists pushed that through the legislature to force us to take that class. It was ridiculous and a waste of time.
I predict this class that the CA legislature may push through will be online. And most people will just go to the test part, and ignore the reading materials. Just like I did with the HIV class.
Yep! And I heard that his childhood nickname was Stubby or Stinky or something like that!
“Senator Wiener? Seriously?”
You just can’t make this stuff up.
Grew up in Jersey. Any relation to Huma’s ex?
Here’s the indoctrination that’s needed: No one changes his/her sex.
It’s well known that men and women have different susceptibilities to specific diseases; they react differently to the same medication. Therefore the doctor MUST know the person’s sex.
The person’s delusionary sex won’t help.

There’s not a lot medically to know about transgenders so I guess the healthcare workers will be learning how to behave toward them.
Because piling more useless terminology and diversity training on already overworked healthcare workers is totally how you solve the nursing shortage! /s
Of course. That’s what police states do.
