on Thursday advanced legislation that would establish the state as a"trans refuge" for children who are seeking transgender medical procedures but who may be denied"gender-affirming care" in other states.
"Gender-affirming care is lifesaving health care," Finke told reporters ahead of debate on the bill."Withholding or delaying gender-affirming care can have a dramatic impact on the mental health of any individual who needs it. Rates of depression, suicide, substance abuse are dramatically higher in transgender and gender-expansive individuals who lack access to care."
"The protections outlined in HF 146 are vital for health care providers, who can continue to provide gender-affirming health care to their patients consistent with best practices, without fear of interference or punishment from other states," said Jess Braverman, Legal Director for Gender Justice.
Roby has studied HF 146 extensively in preparation to testify before legislative committees. He said that the way the bill is written, categorizing a child being denied transgender care alongside abuse, turns laws meant to protect children on their head. Protesters hold signs as they chant for and against a bill that would make Minnesota a trans refuge state, and strengthen protections for kids and their families who come to the state for gender-affirming care, outside the room where lawmakers would vote on the bill at the state capitol, Thursday, March 23, 2023, in St. Paul, Minnesota.. He accused the state legislature of"criminal negligence" for failing to consider the impact of HF 146.
That’s crap
This law will be stuck down.
Some of these parents allowing and pushing for their kids to be drugged and mutilated in the name of 'Gender-Affirming' should be pushing to have some books banned on their own. I would start with anything regarding the Menendez brothers.
This is so wrong!
Mutilation surgery should be illegal and considered abuse of the mentally ill
This isn’t going to go well
Re outlaw sodomy.
So this is what they have in MN's legislature? No wonder the State is gone to pot. 😅😅🤣🤣
OMG! This is what it's come to!! What ever happened to the 80's and 90's when people were obsessed with working out, having beautiful, sexy bodies and eating healthy?
Nanny state strikes again!
GOOD! Parents who force their ideals on their children shouldn’t control their lives. Easy as that. Republicans are the only ones forcing anything. Don’t let them fool you. Trans people have existed for all of human history and won’t disappear. Republicans want to erase them
“Trans Refuge” 😂😂😂 You can’t make this shit up! 😂😂😂
G this is bullshit glad my child won’t be taught any of this fucking nonsense and everyone involved belongs in prison period bunch of child abuser make me sick
Time to get the hell out of Minnesota.
What in tarnation is happening to Minnesota? What the hell is that Governor and state congress smoking up there?!? 🤨👎
Minnesota going down the socialist sewer.
This is not going to go well.
Another state I will never visit of spend a penny in until they change their pervert politics. I used to live in the state back when they weren't insane.
Isn’t this a democratic state?
Unbelievable
Hell no parents are responsible for a child till eighteen yrs old if they are responsible then they should make decisions
Evil is creeping in like a cancer! Parents have God-given jurisdiction over their children to protect them. Any governor/state who overrides parental decision mandating the sexualizing and mutilation of children should be thrown in prison!
Time to flee Minnesota
We will stop this
🤢🤮
Pro-underage genital mutilation, pro- sexualization of children, groomer supporter, and exposing children to sexually explicit material. This is what extremism looks like. When China takes over, they will be the first sent to the camps.
I will never step foot in that state
Ridiculous
How did Minnesota become so radical?
What if both parents are against the trans stuff?
The Liberal Democrat pedophiles want your children. They are coming for them hard.
If parents don't consent for care of their own children, they should be held accountable
That shit better stay far away from my state! TG I don't live in MN! Fk'd up left-bent state! .
Can someone explain why we as a society are trying to accept their mental condition as normal, instead of providing them help for their illness known as Gender Dysphoria?
How does this lunacy happen?
Despite any amount of (a) surgeries, (b) procedures, (c) money, (d) PR campaigns, and (e) pretending, the fact is - a human born as a male will still have an X chromosome and a Y chromosome until death and a human born as a female will still have two X chromosomes until death.
