Parents of transgender kids say California is ‘unprepared’ as feds cut off their healthcare

Lawmakers say the Medi-Cal program needs $10 million to pay for gender-affirming care for minors after the Trump administration cut funding. Parents of transgender children say the state should have prepared sooner to prevent gaps in care.

Better parenting would’ve solved the problem.

Gender affirming care=mutilation.
Women’s healthcare=abortion.

If they think having their heath care cut off is bad, imagine how much worse it is to have your genitals cut off.

“”Better parenting would’ve solved the problem.””

***

How do you explain the ‘transitioning’ of kids with parents that did a good job and did their very best? It’s easy. The ghouls in schools have more access to the kids. Think about it. The kids are out of reach of the parents during the day, while the parents work. The parents have less time with the kids than the indoctrinating leftists have. Even the best parents have lost control of the situation. And not everyone is in a position to be able to homeschool. They shouldn’t have to, either.

When I went to public school, they actually did teach English, math, science, etc. and no indoctrination. Public schools did what they were supposed to do, only. We need to get back to that and start penalizing any teacher or administrator that deviates from that model of education.

The change has to come from the top. Eliminate the ability of these cretins to do what they’re doing to the kids. Make it illegal to try to “transition” or to change ANY kid in public school in any way. It’s not their job to do anything but teach the standard courses to the kids. But the “it takes a village” radical leftists (commies) seek to take over that job in order to ‘fundamentally transform’ America. Why are we letting them?

“Parents of transgender children ...”

So wonderful that our US tax dollars and debt have been funding medical malpractice and child abuse. The “parents” might try getting “jobs” and paying for medical care themselves instead of leeching off the public. The journalist’s use of “parents” is dubious. How many “dads” in intact families are present in the lives of proto-tranny children? I have the impression that gender issues in children are concentrated in households headed by radical womyn, who groom children into trannyism after driving away the sperm donors. Isn’t that how they qualify for MediCal?

Parents of "transgender" kids are criminals against humanity who should be executed.
As is any adult who promoted child castration.
