Woke Tyranny Unleashed: California's Insidious Bill Targets Parents For Misgendering Children

EDITOR'S NOTE: In a chilling assault on parental rights, California's proposed amendment, AB957, threatens to punish parents who refuse to affirm their own child's gender by deeming them 'abusive' and potentially stripping them of custody. Spearheaded by Democratic Assemblymember Lori Wilson and state Senator Scott Weiner, notorious for his controversial policies, this extreme woke legislation represents a dangerous overreach of government power.

Under the guise of promoting child welfare, AB957 grants courts the authority to remove children from their homes solely based on a parent's refusal to affirm their child's gender. This intrusive bill not only imposes a heavy burden on schools, churches, and organizations to conform but also opens the door to labeling parents as child abusers for simply hesitating to endorse their young child's ever-changing gender identity. California's foray into such extreme woke policies sets a disturbing precedent, eroding parental autonomy and undermining personal freedoms.

Proposed by Democratic Assemblymember Lori Wilson and state Senator Scott Weiner (who last year suggested "offering Drag Queen 101 as part of the K-12 curriculum, introduced a bill that grants judicial leniency to certain pedophiles, and who was accused of a hate-crime hoax), AB957 amends the state Family Code addressing the "health, safety and welfare of the child" in every household.

As the Daily Mail notes, if passed, the law could result in children being removed from their parents' home if family members are deemed 'anti-LGBTQ+.'

The bill was originally passed on May 3, but was Amended June 3. by Weiner where it will need to pass again with revisions.

Under the code, courts would be given complete authority to remove children from their homes if their parents refuse to affirm their gender. It would also require schools, churches and other organizations to follow suit or face repercussions for 'impacting the health, safety and welfare of [a] child.'

Individuals and organizations who refuse or do not acknowledge a child's gender identity could potentially face abuse charges, however, a spokesperson for Rep. Wilson's office said the bill only applies to family law and not criminal law. 

The revisions have already been slammed by those who say the state should not step into private residences to monitor each child's gender and their parents' response. 

Nicole Peterson, founder of Facts Law Truth Justice, told the Daily Signal that the law is 'horrifying' and troublesome for parents everywhere. 

'If a parent or guardian is unwilling or simply not ready to affirm their 7-year-old's new identity — as they transition from Spongebob to Batman to Dora the Explorer — they can be found guilty of child abuse under AB-957 if it passes into law,' she said. -Daily Mail

A bill in the California legislature would alter family law to permit courts in custody disputes to weigh against a parent their refusal to affirm a child’s gender identity, considering this in conflict with the health, safety and welfare of a child. https://t.co/I8s3KB5VX1 pic.twitter.com/7jVX1GEbMD

In a statement to the Washington Free Beacon, San Francisco-based attorney Erin Friday said she thinks the new revisions could escalate to more laws that push such boundaries.

"It's not a giant leap–it's a tiny step to get there," said Friday, adding "We know exactly where they are going with it. I didn't think the bill could get worse, but it got worse."

As the Mail notes, the language of the revisions and how they would be enforced is vague and ambiguous, and doesn't mention the age range of the children that this could apply to. It also doesn't distinguish between 'affirming' and 'sex-change.' Instead, it asks judges to consider parents' rejection or non-affirmation of their child's gender.
