Despite the fact that lots of researchers and clinics are starting to back off on the “affirm first, ask questions later” approach to treating transgender children, a lot of activists are still really keen to put children on hormones. And it’s gross.
Enter Minnesota State Representative Leigh Fink, a trans man and the sponsor of HF146, legislation that would make Minnesota a “trans refuge state” where children can have gender-affirming surgeries no matter what anyone else says. You know, pesky interlopers like THEIR PARENTS.
“HF146 ‘would make Minnesota into a trans refuge state by protecting trans people, their families and medical practitioners from the legal repercussions of traveling to Minnesota to receive gender-affirming care,’ Finke said.
‘This need is desperate in my community. This is not a hypothetical scenario,’ Finke said of the bill. ‘There are gender-diverse people in Minnesota right now receiving gender-affirming care. More are fleeing their home states asking where they should turn.’
HF146 would prevent law enforcement from removing a child from parental custody in accordance with an order from outside Minnesota.”
As you may expect from Minnesota, the bill is not short on supporters, and lots of them. . . well, lots of them are exactly what you’d expect them to be.
Like “Amber Mom,” a transgender individual who describes herself as “the mother of two wonderful transgender and gender-expansive children.” (No, I don’t know what “gender-expansive” means, and I refuse to look it up.) She also boasts membership in a laundry list of trans right organizations.
Amber is married to another biological male who transitioned to female, and in case you missed it, BOTH of Motherfather and Fathermother’s kids are also non-cisgender. (“Cis” means normal, by the way. I’ll translate that one for you. I’m not supposed to call it normal, I’m supposed to call it “identifying as the biological gender which you were assigned at birth” or some hooplah, but it’s just normal.)
Amber testified,
“My trans partner and I frequently discuss plans to flee the country, if these targeted, hateful bills keep being introduced or passed.
As someone who started transitioning well into…adulthood, I know better than most how essential and life-saving gender-affirming medical care is. Going through natal puberty was a traumatizing experience for me. I am so grateful that trans and gender expansive kids have access to the knowledge and medical care to be their full selves and thrive.”
I have a few questions, the first one being, WHERE THE HELL DO YOU PLAN ON FLEEING TO LMAO
I will give a hundred smackeroos to anyone who can name me a country that’s more accepting of trans people than the U.S. And no, Canada doesn’t count for two reasons: 1. They’re our 51st state and 2. They’re more likely to offer a person assisted suicide than gender reassignment surgery.
As for the whole “puberty was traumatizing” line, uh. . . raise your hand if you weren’t traumatized by puberty. I know I can’t see y’all, but even if we were all in a room together I would see zero raised hands because PUBERTY IS TRAUMATIZING FOR EVERYONE. Yes, it’s probably worse for people who have legitimate gender dysphoria, but when you go around saying things like “Puberty made me sad because I’m trans,” children are going to hear that and assume that, when they start going through puberty and find it unpleasant, it’s because they’re transgender and not because they’re just a human going through something profoundly discomforting and completely normal.
But I risk missing the forest for the trees here. The part of this story that’s actually newsworthy isn’t either of these nonsense statements, or even the fact that two transgender parents are raising 100% of their children to also be transgender (no indoctrination to see here, folks!).
It’s that there are people fighting to wrestle control of children’s lives from the people who have the God-given duty of taking care of them above all else. I know as a libertarian I run the risk of becoming the “literally 1984” cliché, but purposefully dissolving familial bonds so the state can usurp the role of parenting is LITERALLY 1984.
If you’re in Minnesota, I’m begging you, don’t let your state do this. This is not empathy. This is not acceptance. This is abuse.

I wonder how they would feel if someone introduced a bill that required the State to remove children from parents who were allowing them to “express” transgender tendencies (I know they’re being indoctrinated, but I’m trying to speak “liberal” here).
I’ll bet they would be the first in line protesting that their parental rights should be respected. Funny that they don’t seem to care about the parental rights of people with whom they disagree.
Let’s talk about FEELINGS and IDENTITY. You see, 16 year old Bubba identifies as “superior”. So he demands to be referred to as “His Highness” or “His Excellence”. Fail to do that and you will lose your job. He also demands his own restroom. Can’t expect him to use a restroom with inferior people who would make him FEEL uncomfortable. He demands to be on every sports team he tries out for because, failing to make the team would make him FEEL inferior. He demands to be able to fly his “Superior” flag in the classroom and have “Superior Pride Month” celebrated in school. And last but not least, he is only sexually attracted to females who also FEEL superior, so let’s add the “S” in LGBTQIAS. So suck it up liberals, because FEELINGS MATTER.
Like my cousin recently described the situation with dudes in a dress. Don’t need to ask, we can tell.

They keep repeating the mantra “gender is a social construct” but the statement by itself is meaningless as they seem to also not understand that words can have more than one usage. It’s like saying rock is a style of music and then holding up a stone. That this deliberate misunderstanding of the English language is being used for legal standards is ridiculous.
Hm – how about all of them get together and buy an island, then all of them can go live there and leave the rest of us alone.
