California is now a sanctuary state for transgender kids New law restricts California authorities from enforcing laws of other states aimed at criminalizing transgender health care for minors
Santa Cruz Sentinel ^ | January 2, 2023 | ANNA MARIE YANNY

Max Brandt was welcomed into the world as a baby girl, but as a young child was repelled by “girly girls” and feminine things. And after puberty arrived, Brandt suffered through a mental breakdown every menstrual cycle.

Eventually, gender dysphoria — the psychological distress brought on by a mismatch between one’s sex assigned at birth and gender identity — made Brandt suicidal and prone to self-harm.

Brandt, the college student from Santa Cruz, began receiving puberty blockers at age 14, testosterone treatment at 15 and had surgery to remove breast tissue to attain a masculine chest at 16.


This person is now a psychology major at a Minnesota college. She has a beard and bright green hair. Just the hair shows that this person is craving attention and is not normal. Now having gone through genital mutilation this person will never be normal. Shame on the adults that facilitated this.

So will parents in custody disputes now claim their child is transgender, and flee to California? Instead of killing the child in a custody dispute, with psycho parents “just” take them to California and transition them? This is a whole bunch of mess.

So

kidnapping and transporting minors across state borders for the purpose of violating parental consent for medical treatment has been approved by California.

Looks like proof that California legislature has gone rogue to me.

How can this be legeal ?

I often ask those that call me a bigot for stating this is a mental illness-—”Would supporting something with a 42% suicide rate be considered compassionate”?
“Do you want to see them dead”?

An oldie from Bob Hope:

“California has now legalized homosexuality. Wonder if I should leave now before they make it mandatory?”

“mental breakdown every menstrual cycle”

Wanting and taking steps to be a man, does that stop the menstrual cycle?

“to attain a masculine chest at 16.”

And yet, by law she was still underage for sexual consent.

These people who dress up in drag or mutilate themselves are simply seeking sexual pleasure - they’re not doing it for our education or for societal acceptance. Think about that when they are ‘performing’ for children.

Encouraged by a bevy of existing as well as to-be-announced welfare programs, no doubt.

I don't know of any state that is trying to criminalize "transitions." The issue is minors, and explicit defiance of parental wishes.

Their intention is to destroy the family, and they are succeeding. They call it a civil rights issue. It isn't.

Comment: "to attain a masculine chest at 16." Sorry, but a female chest that has been artificially flattened is a female chest that has been artificially flattened. Just as a surgically-fashioned "vagina" on a man is an open operation scar. Truth is truth.

A woman's "penis" is tissue from her arm fashioned into an approximation of a penis. She may call it her "penis" but she is deluding herself.

Spot on. Tragic outcome for a young person suffering with a severe mental illness.

So much for comity. Here's an idea: remaining 49 states refuse to honor California's laws in their own states.

Let's start with EMISSIONS.

Literally, this easy...

Tobacco Gender Care Master Settlement Agreement

The Tobacco Gender Care Master Settlement Agreement Master Settlement Agreement (GCSA) was entered on November 23, 1998 2023, originally between the four largest United States gender care companies [Planned Parenthood (PP), the American Medical Association (AMA), the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), and the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH)] – the "original participating manufacturers", referred to as the "Majors") and the attorneys general of 46 states. The states settled their lawsuits against the gender care industry for recovery of their gender-related health-care costs.

In exchange, the companies agreed to curtail or cease certain tobacco gender care marketing practices, as well as to pay, in perpetuity, various annual payments to the states to compensate them for some of the medical costs of caring for persons with gender care-related illnesses. The money also funds a new detransition advocacy group, called the Truth-About-Gender Initiative, that is responsible for such campaigns as There Are Only Two Sexes, and maintains a public archive of documents resulting from the cases. In the GCSA, the original participating manufacturers (OPM) agreed to pay a minimum of $750 billion over the first 25 years of the agreement.

Nice edits, St AnDeliver!

and:
“. . . transgender health care for minors.”

Just another example of the left’s adroit manipulation of the common English language.
