Minnesota Dems advance radical ‘trans refuge’ bill that could strip non-consenting parents of custody
March 27, 2023 | Terresa Monroe-Hamilton
Minnesota lawmakers gave the green light to radical legislation on Thursday that would establish the state as the nation’s first “trans refuge” for children who want to undergo transgender medical procedures that are denied to them in other states.
The Minnesota House passed HF146 68-62 along party lines. The bill was introduced by the state’s first transgender lawmaker, Rep. Leigh Finke, who is a member of the Marxist Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party and is USA Today’s “Woman of the Year” for the state.
“To all those families across the United States that are afraid and wondering where they can go for help — Minnesota is saying we see you, we love you and you belong here,” Finke declared.
Democrats are asserting that the bill will protect transgender people, their families, and healthcare providers from facing legal fallout for traveling to Minnesota to obtain hormonal treatments or transgender surgery. Democrats have introduced similar legislation in other states such as California.
“Gender-affirming care is lifesaving healthcare,” Finke informed reporters before a debate took place on the bill. “Withholding or delaying gender-affirming care can have a dramatic impact on the mental health of any individual who needs it. Rates of depression, suicide, substance abuse are dramatically higher in transgender and gender-expansive individuals who lack access to care.”

Minnesota, unless there's a change in leadership, will be lost
It's the Twin Cities that controls the politics in the state
