Wilson also notes that if you the parent reject your child\u2019s chosen gender, \u201cyou are rejecting that child.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As we reported in June:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis bill clarifies that a family court, when determining the best interest of the child in a proceeding to determine custody or visitation for a child, shall consider, as part of the consideration of the health, safety, and welfare of the child, a parent\u2019s affirmation of the child\u2019s gender identity,\u201d the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/leginfo.legislature.ca.gov\/faces\/billAnalysisClient.xhtml?bill_id=202320240AB957#\">06\/09\/23- Senate Judiciary<\/a>&nbsp;bill analysis says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So imagine a child of parents going through a contentious divorce, feeling confused, responsible for the breakup, and wanting the parents to get back together, announces that she is really a he. Under Wilson\u2019s and Wiener\u2019s bill, the parents must drop everything and provide \u201cgender affirming care.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We hear stories daily from teachers who report that school-aged kids\u2019 claims of being trans are mostly jumping on the trans bandwagon. It\u2019s an attention-getter. Suddenly they are more popular, in a freaky way, can dress oddly, and get more attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To understand the motive behind this radical legislation, the list of sponsors speaks volumes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This bill is sponsored by the California State PTA, the California TGI Policy Alliance, the EmpowerTHEM Collective, Equality California, Gender Justice Los Angeles, the Los Angeles LGBT Center, TransFamily Support Services, TransYouth Liberation, and the Women\u2019s Foundation of California, and is supported by the California Faculty Association, the California Youth Empowerment Network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This bill is opposed by Bridge Network, the California Parents Union, California\u2019s Legislative Voice, Carlsbad C2O, the Silicon Valley Association of American Women, Stand Up Sacramento County, and 14 individuals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Scott_Wiener\/status\/759872134365663232?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E759872134365663232%7Ctwgr%5E92f9d3e7999337088541aa1f606bcfe304b745f5%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Ftwitchy.com%2Ffuzzychimp-313137%2F2023%2F06%2F10%2Fcalifornias-ab-957-replaces-parents-right-to-parent-with-the-states-belief-about-gender-identity%2F\">Senator Scott Wiener, who is not a parent<\/a>, added in the mandatory \u201caffirming\u201d language to AB 957.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once again, the California Legislature is trampling all over parental rights, rather than doing the jobs they were elected to do \u2013 govern and public policy. Parenting isn\u2019t listed in the California Legislature\u2019s legislative process. And these hair-brained bills should be summarily rejected by other lawmakers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As we reported in June, Nicole Pearson, founder of the Facts Law Truth Justice law firm and civil rights advocacy group, condemned AB 957\u2019s unconstitutionality in an interview with&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailysignal.com\/author\/tony-kinnett\/\">The Daily Signal<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:18px\">This bill makes law that failure to affirm your child\u2019s identity is child abuse. This will be a final, legal determination without any evidence in support, or a hearing with notice or the opportunity to be heard. Assemblywoman Wilson and Senator Scott Wiener are not doctors. They can\u2019t make this determination for every single child aged 0 to 17 in the state and, yet, that is exactly what they\u2019re trying to do here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:18px\">If a parent or guardian is unwilling or simply not ready to affirm their 7-year-old\u2019s new identity\u2014as they transition from Spongebob to Batman to Dora the Explorer\u2014they can be found guilty of child abuse under AB-957 if it passes into law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:18px\">This is a horrifying bill for children, and for parents and guardians not just in California, but across the country. Gavin Newsom is gunning for president in 2028. If he signs this bill into law, here, it will be headed to every state if he wins.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A 7-year old child has a vivid imagination, believes in Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy and the Easter Bunny, and still watches cartoons. Giving that child chemical castration through drugs, or even buying into the opposite gender claims, is child abuse. Like many girls, I was a tomboy, played sports with the boys, climbed trees and got in fights. But I also had a Barbie Dream House and liked to sew my own Barbie clothes. I grew out of the tomboy phase, stopped getting in fights and put away the baseball cap about the same time I gave my Barbie Dream House to the little girl down the street. It was a phase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wilson also notes that if you the parent reject your child\u2019s chosen gender, \u201cyou are rejecting that child.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Do you feel as if you fell through the rabbit hole and are stuck in Alice\u2019s Wonderland?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In California, Marxist lawmakers are trying to remove your children from your home under the pretense of state law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Original Article: <a href=\"https:\/\/californiaglobe.com\/fl\/ca-senate-passes-bill-to-charge-parents-with-child-abuse-for-not-affirming-transgenderism-in-custody-cases\/\">https:\/\/californiaglobe.com\/fl\/ca-senate-passes-bill-to-charge-parents-with-child-abuse-for-not-affirming-transgenderism-in-custody-cases\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A 7-year old child has a vivid imagination, believes in Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy and the Easter Bunny, and still watches cartoons Under California\u2019s&nbsp;Assembly Bill 957&nbsp;by Assemblywoman Lori Wilson (D-Suisun City), a parent could lose custody for not \u201caffirming\u201d or agreeing to a child\u2019s claims about gender identity.
