Trans youth still have a safe haven in California — but that could change
CalMatter ^ | January 23, 2026 | CAROLYN JONES

California has taken steps the past few years to protect transgender young people on the playing field, in the classroom and in the doctor’s office. But a handful of federal court cases and new policies could threaten those protections.

Meanwhile, in December the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services said it would bar hospitals from performing gender procedures on children. California health officials pushed back, telling hospitals that they must comply with state laws and continue offering gender care to minors, regardless of what the federal government says.

“We will continue to stand with transgender youth, their families and health care providers, and we will continue to fight the federal administration’s cruel and inhumane policies,” they wrote on the state’s Health and Human Services website.


And if you are an illegal alien wanting transgender surgery in California you can step to the front of the line.

"... steps the past few years to protect transgender young people..."

Everyone needs to learn the lib-eese language to understand what "protect" means. It's not the common meaning that most people presume.

"Protect," from the liberal intepretation, means the FORCE OF LAW to require people to do things they would not freely choose to do.

It means the diminishment of parental authority.

It means special "rights" bestowed on these contrived statuses that the rest of us don't get.

It means a bludgeon in the hands of these crossdressing freaks and their deranged parents to destroy us.

Consider that New York City's ordinance prescribing a QUARTER MILLION DOLLAR FINE against anyone "misgendering" another person is considered "protection."

California is hostile to people with traditional values.

That word, safehaven, I don’t think it means what they think it means. A safe haven would be a place where they don’t indulge your craziness and protect you from making permanent life altering decisions.

By “safe place”, they mean pedophile groomers have complete access to them.

Parent monsters... what the hell's the matter with these people? They think their kids can make this call? Well, give the 7 year old a credit card too and the right to sign contracts. Why stop at sexual mutilation?

The most dangerous places for kids struggling with mental issues are blue states and cities.

Naive’. CaCaLand is hostile to humanity. They are perfectly willing to let liberals die, too, so long as the elites in power stay in power.

Imagine living in a neighborhood filled with illegals and hostile neighbors who will attack you if you complain. That is kinda like CaCaLand.

Someone very, very close to me on Medi-Cal wants the double mastectomy surgery.

I said Medi-Cal is for the poor and low income who cannot afford health insurance, and it's for medically necessary things like medicine, vaccines, physicals, treatment for disease/illnesses, etc.

It is NOT for elective procedures like surgery on healthy breasts just because you don't want them. I said it's immoral and an abuse of taxpayer dollars.

Silence. She's thinking about it.

I don’t understand how mutilating preteens protects them. Sounds more like Nuremberg Trials and hangings are needed.

If this is related to the previous California “trans youth” law it would allow the kidnapping and sexual grooming by strangers who would host the kids. So some homo pervert can host some teenage boy while the homo pervert can support the kids “transition” while legally grooming the kid.

Trans youth?

You mean brainwashed sexually abused children that have been castrated, sterilized and sexually mutilated by perverts?

Demented people want to find a heaven so they can continue this permanent damage to children?
