California Bill Criminalizing Parents Who Don't Affirm Gender Confusion

California lawmakers are pushing Assembly Bill 957, which aims to criminalize parents who don't affirm their child's gender confusion. This bill, proposed by state senator Scott Wiener, is deeply problematic and raises serious concerns about parental rights. It could potentially lead to parents being charged if they do not allow their child to pursue irreversible gender transition procedures. This bill is part of a larger push to enforce gender ideology and could set a dangerous precedent for parental autonomy in other states as well. The battle against this bill and others like it is crucial in protecting parental rights and advocating for the well-being of children.
