California parents who refuse to affirm their child’s gender identity could find themselves losing custody disputes under a bill advancing in the state legislature, prompting one Republican lawmaker to urge families to escape before it’s too late.
The measure would add “affirmation of the child’s gender identity” to the list of health, safety and welfare priorities for courts to factor in when making custody and visitation decisions involving children of divorced couples.
“I love judicial discretion, but there [are] some issues because, guess what, they’re human beings,” said Ms. Wilson at the hearing. “We want to make sure that they understand, that every judge in the state of California recognizes that for a TGI child, affirmation is in their absolute best interest, period.”
“I reserve the right not to support it on the floor if it doesn’t change, because I think that there’s challenges with what exactly this would mean,” said Democrat state Sen. Anna Caballero, who voted for the bill in committee. “I don’t think we want to send something to the court that causes confusion or wrong decisions.”
