Blocking puberty isn't the same as surgery. You want to ban surgery for minors? Fine - I'll agree with you there. But I think banning puberty blockers and hormone treatment is going way too far.
Man are you guys still addicted to this topic? I give it another more year until one of these posters goes postal on a trans night club.
dystopian Florida >>>> California No wonder people with common sense and values are fleeing California for Florida.
Actually, it's about the child's overall health and well-being. It must promote the child's health and well-being. If affirmation causes harm, or even abuse, as claimed by some on the right, then this law allows that to be taken into account. Why shrink from that now? Why are the great defenders of child abuse suddenly afraid of what's legally best for the child? Bill Text - AB-957 Family law: gender identity. (ca.gov) 3011. (a) In making a determination of the best interests of the child in a proceeding described in Section 3021, the court shall, among any other factors it finds relevant and consistent with Section 3020, consider all of the following: (1) (A) The health, safety, and welfare of the child. (B) As used in this paragraph, the health, safety, and welfare of the child includes, among other comprehensive factors, a parent’s affirmation of the child’s gender identity or gender expression. Affirmation includes a range of actions and will be unique for each child, but in every case must promote the child’s overall health and well-being. (2) (A) A history of abuse by one parent or another person seeking custody against any of the following: (i) A child to whom the parent or person seeking custody is related by blood or affinity or with whom the parent or person seeking custody has had a caretaking relationship, no matter how temporary. (ii) The other parent. (iii) A parent, current spouse, or cohabitant of the parent or person seeking custody, or a person with whom the parent or person seeking custody has a dating or engagement relationship. (B) (i) As a prerequisite to considering allegations of abuse, the court may require independent corroboration, including, but not limited to, written reports by law enforcement agencies, child protective services or other social welfare agencies, courts, medical facilities, or other public agencies or private nonprofit organizations providing services to victims of sexual assault or domestic violence. (ii) As used in this paragraph, “abuse against a child” means “child abuse or neglect” as defined in Section 11165.6 of the Penal Code. (iii) Abuse against another person, as described in clause (ii) or (iii) of subparagraph (A), means “abuse” as defined in Section 6203. Musk, of course, isn't, but he does have a very personal beef. There's speculation that he and his transgender daughter have grown apart due to her being transgender, and their beliefs don't align. She has stated that she wants nothing to do with him. I'm quite sure that's painful for him, and he seems to have blamed her private schooling for her "communist" beliefs. It's not that big of a leap to think that he might also believe her education had something to do with her transition, which could be why he's in the camp that views transitioning in children as abuse. https://www.mercurynews.com/2022/10...transgender-daughter-because-of-neo-marxists/
It's not "affirmation". Stop using misleading language. It's chemical castration and/or genital mutilation.
This is like we went back in time with lobotomies, but instead of brain scrambling, it’s chemical castration scrambling and/or genital mutilation…What if the child becomes older and said wait a second I was going thru a phase , I made a mistake? Is it so easy to reverse this. Sure they can sue (as many others are now doing in courts) once they become legal age (18+) but the damage would be done.

Couldn't make this **** up if one tried. Insanity. This pedophile makes policy, backed by Newsom and the Democrats.
