Proposed CA bill would protect families with transgender kids
California Democrats plan to introduce a bill to protect parents from having transgender children taken away from them, as may happen in Texas.

California could soon start providing legal refuge to displaced transgender kids and their families.

State Democrats say they plan to introduce a bill to protect parents from having their transgender children taken away from them.

It would also shield parents from being criminally prosecuted for supporting gender-affirming care.

This follows moves in states like Texas -- where the governor has directed agencies to consider removing trans kids from their families and placing them in foster care.
