California Bills Would Remove Visitation Rights for Parents who Don’t ‘Affirm’ Child’s Gender Identity
American Greatness ^ | September 6, 2023 | By Eric Lendrum

Democrats in the state of California continue to double down on their support for transgenderism, and have now introduced legislation that would forbid parents from even seeing their child if they do not support the child’s “gender identity.”

As reported by the Washington Free Beacon, Democrats in the state legislature have introduced two new bills, both of which would change California family law by making “gender affirmation” a part of children’s health, safety, and welfare. The first bill would grant judges the authority to take away custody from parents who do not “affirm” their child’s gender identity, while the second bill would force judges who are considering granting custody rights to take into consideration “a parent’s affirmation of the child’s gender identity or gender expression.”

Neither bill provides any clear definition for the term “affirmation,” nor do they give a specific age by which a child’s identity should be “affirmed” by their parents. Both pieces of legislation will be up for approval by the State Assembly and State Senate by September 14th.

“In the unfortunate event that parents are negotiating visitation rights for their children in a custody dispute, it makes sense for a judge to consider if the children are in legitimate danger,” said Lance Christensen, a spokesman for the California Policy Center. “However, classifying a parent who does not affirm a child’s gender dysphoria should not be in the same category as an abuser.”

The bills were introduced by State Senator Anna Caballero (D-Calif.) and co-authored by State Senator Scott Wiener (D-Calif.), the latter of whom is notorious for introducing numerous pro-LGBT bills that have garnered widespread backlash; his legislation has included a bill that decriminalized the act of knowingly infecting someone with HIV, as well as a bill decriminalizing homosexual acts with minors.

Wiener has repeatedly defended his outlandish legislation, blaming the most recent backlash on “a pretty massive misinformation campaign about this bill by the right-wing media.”

Another issue for Trump to run on against Newsome. I hope he is keeping a list.

If my 6 year old son wants to drink. Nope. If my 6 year old son wants to drive. Nope. If my 6 year old son wants to cut off his balls I can lose custody if I say no? Insane.

No way Gavin runs for President with this and the endless videos of homeless on every sidewalk in California - ads asking is this what you want coming to your cities in your states?

Ads of countless businesses closed. Ones remaining open have everything locked.

Parents locked out of their children's education plans.

Our legislature here in California could pass for something
from the old Soviet Union.

Since 1959, it has been under Democrat control almost
exclusively. In 1995/1996 it had a slim Republican majority
41/29 in the Assembly only.

In 1968 there was a 2020 match-up in the Senate only. This
happened again in 1973/1974.

In 1969/1970 the Republicans held another 41/39 majority.

So for the last 74 years, the Democrats have had the clear
majority for all but three years in the Senate, and two
years in the assembly.

In the 1995/1996 Assembly term, Willie Brown made political
moves that left the Republicans more or less powerless.

Right now there isn’t one single Republican leading a
statewide seat in California’s government. It’s been like
that for over 15 years as far as I can remember.

[41/39, corrected for accuracy] in the Assembly only.

In 1968 there was a 2020 match-up in the Senate only. This

And yet CA for the majority of that time voted Republican (And still does if not for the cheating) So it looks like the senate and assembly has always had some suspicious poo-poo going on

Look at these registration figures, and tell me the
Republican party is serious about California.

Check out the 2020 election results from California.
They are listed a little over 1/3rd the way down the
page, mixed in with the other states.

Anything right now that pretends to find improvement in the
Republican ranks in California is highly suspect. They have
out-registered us by a very wide margin.

Why would our side say anything is good right now. It
really sends the wrong message on a very desperate
situation.

It’s like saying the situation has improved with that
settler than found out he could drink his own sweat,
on the way through Death Valley. Still gonna die, but
there is that...

In 2020 Biden got 5 million more popular votes than Trump.
