Colorado Democrats learned nothing from the last presidential election and have decided to take ‘woke’ to the next level.

State Democrats in the House just passed a ‘transgender protections’ bill that will make it child abuse for a parent to ‘misgender’ their own child – ie. use their child’s given name and biological sex when referring to the child.

Here’s more:

Every American needs to know that Colorado just passed in its House of Rep. a law that will find that a parent who uses his/her child’s given name, uses pronouns that align with their child’s immutable sex to be abusive.

It will also be deemed abusive for a parent to say no to puberty blockers, no to cross-sex hormones and no to surgeries.

It is half way to becoming law.

HB25-1312 must not pass.

He is Democrat who might be persuaded to do the right thing.

Anyone can call. Retweet this. Please.

 
This is real. I found in Colorado Newsline a write-up on the bill, and a Republican in the House said this as well:

The other bill, House Bill 25-1312, aims to add protections for transgender people in schools and courts. It would require courts to consider as a form of coercive control actions like deadnaming — using a transgender person’s previous name before transitioning in order to reject their identity — and misgendering in child custody decisions. It would also shield parents who help their child obtain gender-affirming care from court orders in other states that outlaw the practice.

“Supporting a child’s gender identity is indeed in the best interest of the child, and that support cannot be used against a loving and supportive parent in a dispute,” said bill sponsor Rep. Rebekah Stewart, a Lakewood Democrat.

But Republicans argued the bill’s provisions for custody decisions would be an “erosion” on parental rights.

“The idea that misgendering your own child is considered coercive control, which is another word for child abuse, because you want to get your child help instead of affirming their delusions … this is the most disgusting bill I’ve seen so far,” said Rep. Jarvis Caldwell, a Colorado Springs Republican.

The bill would also label deadnaming and misgendering as discriminatory acts under the state’s anti-discrimination law.

Schools could not adopt a gender-based dress code under the bill. If a school has an adopted policy related to chosen names, that policy would have to be “inclusive of all reasons that a student might adopt a chosen name that differs from the student’s legal name.” The Legislature approved a law last year that concerns students’ chosen names in public schools.

“This bill is truly the least that we can do. Frankly, I wish that we didn’t have to bring this bill, but the reality of navigating the world today as a transgender human necessitates it,” Stewart said.

Both bills still need a final recorded vote in the House before heading to the Senate. Democrats hold majorities in both chambers and do not need any Republican votes to pass legislation.

The people of Colorado need to make their voices heard loud and clear over this because it must be stopped. If the Democrat Senate passes this, you can be sure the governor will sign it and the state will become a nightmare for parents.
