For rightwinger and all the other lefists suddenly discovering a love for parental rights, does that mean that you strongly disapprove of punishing or investigating parents who exercise that right by declining gender affirming care for their children?
The new law that Inslee signed Tuesday is part of a wave of legislation in Democratic-led states intended to give refuge amid a conservative movement in which lawmakers in other states have attacked trans rights and limited or banned gender-affirming care for minors.

OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) ā Minors seeking gender-affirming care in Washington will be protected from the intervention of estranged parents under a measure Gov. Jay Inslee signed into law Tuesday.
The new law is part of a wave of legislation this year in Democratic-led states intended to give refuge amid a conservative movement in which lawmakers in other states have attacked transgender rights and limited or banned gender-affirming care for minors.
Existing Washington law generally requires licensed shelters and host homes to notify parents within 72 hours when a minor comes into their care. Under the new law, facilities can instead contact the state Department of Children, Youth and Families, which could then attempt to reunify the family if feasible. Youths will also be allowed to stay at host homes ā private, volunteer homes that temporarily house young people without parental permission.
Newly amended California state bill AB 957 would require parents to recognize their kids' gender identities as part of their health and well being.

AB 957, which passed in the State Assembly on May 3, originally proposed that courts deciding custody cases must consider whether each parent were gender-affirming of the child in question.
The amendment has added to the stateās standard of what constitutes parental responsibility for child welfare, requiring that parents must be affirming of a childās gender identity if they are to be judged fit for providing for "the health, safety, and welfare of the child," in a court of law.
Just before his 13th birthday, Deserie Thomasās son began succumbing to gender ideology. She had noticed that he was exhibiting feminine tendencies, but she didnāt think much of it at the time. His best friend was a girl, so she chalked it up to the feminine influence in his life.

Deserie ended up taking her son to a psychiatrist who had been another recommendation from her sonās pediatrician. Shortly after sitting down with Deserie and her son, the psychiatrist said, āI see in my notes that you like to be called a different name.ā When Deserie protested, the psychiatrist insisted that affirming her sonās new gender identity was the only possible solution. So Deserie ended the visit. But the psychiatrist began following her down the hallway, referring to her son by his preferred female name, saying, āLizzy, Lizzy, itās OK. Listen, maāam, this is how we help.ā
Shortly after that visit, Deserie received a call from Child Protective Services. The agent said they had received a report from the psychiatrist, who accused Deserie and her husband of failing to provide her son with medically recommended care and opening him up to possible sexual abuse. Keep in mind: this psychiatrist spent less than five minutes total with Deserie and her son. She knew nothing about this young man or his family yet was willing to sic the government on them with allegations she fabricated.
Why would surgery EVER be performed on a child's healthy genitals or breasts? If that is done, the unhealthy ones are the adults that do it and allow it. They are sick puppies.
Young children do not "assume physical characterstics" of any "new gender." With puberty blockers, the child's body is induced not to go through puberty at the appropriate time, something that we know has short-term and long-term negative health implications. With cross-sex hormones, a male child's body is induced to mimic female breast development. So it creates out of a boy with a normal and healthy body, a boy with undeveloped penis, no typical male muscular development, and growing breasts that mimic those of pubescent female child.
That image has a lot of appeal to a lot of men, based on the proliferation of t-girl porn and the number of men fighting to have this done to boys
Don't know much about that. Obviously, the sex angle has the left geeked up to push for it, and it makes for clickbait.
Tell us more about the SSRI's. I'm not one to accept that we have to do everything profit motivated doctors tell us to do or we "hate science."
