affirm the right to transgender people to be called what they wish

?? A 'right' to compel others to lie in order to validate delusion.

Sounds like a recipe for an ordered, peaceful society.

They don’t care. The blue states are in open rebellion anyways...Who’s going to enforce a SCROTUS ruling?

How about locking up all the writers who called Bruce Jenner a “he” in second references over the decades of HIS celebrity??

It’s hard enough to get decent care in nursing homes, partly because facilities are understaffed, even though caregiver wages are low. What does California think is going to happen to eldercare if they start fining or jailing CNAs for referring to a man as “him”?

I don’t think this would even pass the 9th circus.

How about we make the trannies wear a shirt with a number on it so we can “look up” what gender they are?

threaten jail time for anyone who refuses to use a transgender person’s preferred pronoun . . . currently limited in its effects to nursing homes and intermediate-care facilities . . .

Maybe I'm just chicken, but I'd be afraid to threaten the person responsible for my care with jail time. Or maybe I'm just a decent person, not a thug, and I'd be even more embarrassed to threaten jail than I would be over not being sure whether I'm male or female.

The referenced bill would be a free speech-related violation of Section 1 of the 14th Amendment (14A) imo.
”14th Amendment, Section 1: All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States [emphasis added]; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”

I wouldn’t be surprised if at least some members of the California legislature have never heard of Section 1.

Sadly, consider that even though 14A gives Congress the power to protect citizens from abridgment of their constitutionally enumerated rights by the states, it remains that the current corrupt Congress is left over from the lawless Obama Administration and has a track record for wrongly remaining silent while misguided, pro-LGBT activist states abridge rights like 1st Amendment protect religious expression and free speech.

So patriots need elect new faces to Congress who will defend the Constitution and protect personal rights.

Drain the swamp sewer! Drain the sewer!

Remember in November 2018 !

Since corrupt Congress is the biggest part of the sewer (imo) that Trump wants to drain, it is actually up to patriots to drain the sewer in the 2018 elections, patriots supporting Trump by electing as many new members of Congress as they can who will support Trump.

In the meanwhile, patriots need to make sure that there are plenty of Trump-supporting candidates on the primary ballots.

Patriots need to qualify candidates by asking them why the Founding States made the Constitution’s Section 8 of Article I; to limit (cripple) the federal government’s powers.

Patriots also need to make sure that candidates are knowledgeable of the Supreme Court's clarifications of the federal government’s limited powers listed here.

Again, unlike incumbent members of Congress who wrongly remained silent while misguided state officials abridged the constitutionally enumerated rights of citizens during the lawless Obama Administration, patriots need to make sure that candidates on the 2018 primary ballots commit to the following.

Candidates need to commit to making and enforcing 14A-related laws to prosecute misguided state officials who use state powers to abridge constitutionally enumerated protections, 1st Amendment-protected religious expression and free speech for example, such actions prohibited by Section 1 of the 14th Amendment shown above.

Again, drain the sewer! Drain the sewer!

Too much pot.

My heart aches for my adopted state ( born and raised in the Chicago suburbs, right next to O’Hare; lived in CO for over ten years).

Don’t use pronouns, just use adverbs and adjectives like pendejo! From the border with Mexico to Oregon most Californians know what a pendejo is.

Law should be thrown out.

Regular people do not have this power. Toss it.

I made the mistake of saying “Viva La Raza!” to one of my little elementary school Mexican classmates in Chino, California. He almost knocked me out.
