New law in California could have national implications

“It’s time for the adults in the room to stand up. It’s time for every adult across the country to stand up on both sides of the aisle.”..State Rep. Scott Wiener’s (D) SB 107 — a bill proposing to make California a “refuge” state for performing transgender surgeries on minors — successfully made its way to Gov. Gavin Newsom’s (D) desk and received his signature Thursday. Now signed into law, California doctors can perform gender transition procedures (such as surgeries and hormone therapy) on children, even those traveling from states who have prohibited such actions on minors.
