There hasn’t been much talk about it in the media but on Thursday, California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) signed into law a piece of legislation that will designate the state as a ‘sanctuary’ for children and teens seeking medicalized gender transitions, according to the Post Millennial.
Newsom’s signature on the bill, SB 107, comes nearly a month after the California legislature passed State Senator Scott Wiener’s bill, which was introduced in 2021.
The bill makes it very difficult for parents of minors who flee to California for surgical gender reassignments or the prescribing of cross-sex hormones and prohibits law enforcement agencies from making or intentionally participating in, the arrest of an individual pursuant to an out-of-state arrest warrant based on another state’s law against receiving or allowing a child to receive gender-affirming health care.
The bill makes it very clear that if a child comes into the state by themselves that “A court of this state has temporary emergency jurisdiction if the child is present in this state and the child has been abandoned or it is necessary for an emergency to protect the child because the child, or a sibling or parent of the child, is subjected to, or threatened with, mistreatment or abuse, or because the child has been unable to obtain gender-affirming health care or gender-affirming mental health care.”
In other words, you as a parent are no longer allowed to scold your child, educate them, guide them, kick them out, or attempt to threaten them with punishment for considering a sex change procedure, without those actions being deemed “abusive” to the child, which according to the bill is grounds for California to claim temporary guardianship over your child as ‘sanctuary’ to your authority.
In addition, the bill that the state will not honor or enforce is “A law of another state that authorizes a state agency to remove a child from their parent or guardian based on the parent or guardian allowing their child to receive gender-affirming health care” if a case is pending in California courts, the Post Millennial reported.
According to the Los Angeles Times, Newsom commended the bill during its signing.
“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 said. “Parents know what’s best for their kids, and they should be able to make decisions around the health of their children without fear. We must take a stand for parental choice.”
Despite the American College of Pediatricians pointing out that 85% of minors who suffer from gender confusion have their feelings resolved by adulthood, pro-mutilation states like California and NY are full steam ahead on warping the minds of minors and encouraging them to go through the very dangerous and irreversible medical transgender procedures.
