Minnesota governor protects rights to gender affirming care

Gov. Tim Walz signed an executive order Wednesday protecting the rights of LGBTQ people from Minnesota and other states to receive gender affirming health care, as he slammed the tide of other states rolling back transgender rights.

“We want every Minnesotan to grow up feeling safe, valued, protected, celebrated, and free to exist as their authentic versions of themselves,” Walz said. “Protecting and supporting access to gender affirming health care is essential to being a welcoming and supportive state.”

Advocates for LGBTQ rights say Republican-led states across the country are trying to erase the legal existence of people who are trans and to restrict the expression of those who are nonbinary, gender-fluid or who perform in drag. According to the Human Rights Campaign, more than 150 bills targeting trans rights have been introduced in other states. Walz singled out neighboring South Dakota, where Gov. Kristi Noem signed a ban on gender affirming care for minors last month.

“I don’t know what a group of people in Pierre who decide to make life miserable and more dangerous for people are thinking, but it’s not going to happen in Minnesota,” Walz said to applause from a room full of LGBTQ activists and their supporters.

Walz touts Democratic record of defending LGBTQ+ rights, says Harris will advance cause if elected

Sorry for the old article and not sure who that governor is. Maybe he had experience as a teacher helping boys with their gender identity.

How are Republican states ‘erasing the legal existence’ of pretend men and pretend women? By not going along with their delusions?

IIRC, your gender is affirmed at conception. Your parents don’t choose as you make your entry.

The law they passed in Minnesota also allows for taking custody of children whose parents oppose gender affirming care.

This was an executive order by Walz before the law was passed.

That’s right. God gives you a sex in the womb, He knows what it’ll be and He NEVER makes mistakes.

Agreed. When my sons were born, the doctor said, “Congratulations! It’s a boy!” Not, “Congratulations, it’s a whatever his/her teacher brainwashes zim to be in 2nd grade.”

If the idiots in Minnesota want to pay for the lifetime costs for the care of mutilated children from all over the country, good for them.

There is a young many named Amir Odom who has conservative youtube channel. He is a gay black American.

His video yesterday was about gays who are voting for Trump. Many of them are very not happy with the TQIA+++ faction and are distancing themselves.

The people on his video are very much against the group that is trying to force this on children and promoting child mutilation.

They also talk about being vilified by the plantation about having dissenting views.

and free to exist as their authentic versions of themselves

Their authentic "version" of themselves is based on science in the form of X and Y chromosomes. Anything else is make believe B.S.

“free to exist as their authentic versions of themselves,” Walz said.”

This guy is as nutty as they come.

What ever happened to the constant narrative that the "transing" of kids is a decision that should be left solely to the parents and their medical providers?

That evaporated in about 3 seconds.
