California Democrats in the state legislature have passed AB-957, which makes gender affirmation an essential need right on par with food, clothing, and shelter.
Parents who do not affirm their child’s gender of choice could be found guilty of neglecting the child’s “health, safety, and welfare,” which could lead to the parent losing custody of the child to another parent or even the state.
The Bill’s author is assembly member Lori Wilson, who, from the floor of the legislative chamber, stated that “our duty as parents is to affirm our children.”
