Minnesota to be a 'sanctuary state' for transgender treatments, procedures

Tim Walz, Minnesota’s Democratic governor, recently signed Executive Order 23-03, effectively making Minnesota a “sanctuary state” for gender-transitioning treatments and procedures. Several of the bill’s provisions require various health organizations to provide such services-- and forbid them from sharing information with other states that have banned such treatment for minors.

Both Walz and Minnesota's lieutenant governor, Peggy Flanagan, also a Democrat (of course), spoke at a press conference celebrating the signing.

Walz sniffed: “In this state, hate has no home. In this state, love and acceptance is what we preach.”

Is it? Are they? Might want to ask the taxpayers if that’s the case. Or all those who have been victimized by violent—and other—crimes due to a general disdain for law enforcement. And the North Star state certainly isn’t a “sanctuary” for fiscal conservatives, or those with traditional social, cultural, or religious values.

Not to be outdone, Flanagan stated: “When our children tell us who they are, it is our job as grown-ups to listen and to believe them. That’s what it means to be a good parent.”

Yes, encouraging the permanent genital mutilation of your young children has understandably long been considered the standard for—and hallmark of-- good parenting……in the (hopefully) rare instances when the good parents haven’t chosen to abort their offspring. (Minnesota is also a sanctuary state for abortions!)

If a “good parent” now encourages their confused child’s self-mutilation, what else qualifies as good parenting in our depraved brave new world? Should good parents offer their kids a pack of Marlboros? A pint of 151 rum? Urge them to take the Tide Pod challenge and go play in the street? Let them do whatever they want, because “all the other kids are doing it?”

Not to be outdone, Flanagan stated: “When our children tell us who they are, it is our job as grown-ups to listen and to believe them.

"When our children tell us there are monsters under their beds, it's our job as adults to find those monsters and kill them."

I’ve heard that you can freeze your ‘nads off in MN.

The trannies should mix well with the Somali skeletors….

LOL! Good for them...

I’m old enough to remember when we mocked the Muslims for their Female Genital Mutilation, but the crap that today’s Democrats are doing to children is FAR WORSE.

If children can demand, without parental knowledge, to be chemically and physically altered, they can drive a car, smoke cigarettes, drink alcohol, get married, and vote. If this keeps up, they will run for President.

They want to lower the age of consent for the pedophiles.

A sanctuary for child butchery & mutilation. No civilized nation would allow this. It is Satanic & an abomination against God. God destroyed others for less.

I have never been to Minnesota and don’t recall ever meeting anyone from said state. What the hell is wrong in that state? Seems like every time you turn around there is something squirrely is happening.

The liberal far-left loonies are totally in charge of Minnefornia. Watch that state go down the tubes.

A ‘Sanctuary’ is the most Holy place in a church. The term connotes refuge and peace. And so it is that one of the highest offenses against God is satanically embraced and carried out in a ‘sanctuary’.
