During the last legislative session, Minnesota declared itself a “trans refuge” state, inviting children from around the country to travel to the state to get “gender-affirming care” here if they were no longer able to get treatment to medically transition in their home state.
The law was specifically targeted to get children to come to Minnesota for treatments including hormones and surgery.
Does the law “allows the state to intervene and sever parental custody?”
Yes. As shown below, the law creates a special state emergency power to intervene between a child and legal guardian if the child is seeking and unable to obtain “gender-affirming health care.” pic.twitter.com/WTVtfx51ww— Clarity (@covid_clarity) March 24, 2023
Minnesota Democrats placed this law near the top of their legislative agenda, and were over the moon when they managed to get the bill passed.
Minnesota passes…
