This veto is a tragedy for trans kids here & around the country. These kids are living in fear, with right wing politicians working to out them, deny them health care, ban them from sports & restrooms & erase their humanity.
CA needs to unequivocally stand with these kids.

's trans kids bill.
"I urge caution when the Executive and Legislative branches of state government attempt to dictate - in prescriptive terms that single out one characteristic - legal standards for the Judicial branch to apply."

The level of right wing misinformation about this bill was astounding. All the bill did was ensure that in custody disputes, a court would take into account the kid’s gender identity & whether parents would be supportive of the kid as opposed to tormenting the kid.

Aren’t you the creepy dude who wants to dress in leather straps in front of kids, and have sexual conversations with kids behind their parents backs? Or is that another creepy pedo named Scott Weiner?
@Scott_Wiener
The threat is coming from inside the child,
Scott’s right, mass institutionalization is essential to protect these kids, from themselves, and from people like Pedophile idolizing Wiener.
