A Washington State bill that would strip parents’ rights to intervene on their kids medical care in certain circumstances passed the House Wednesday, clearing its pathway to being signed by Gov. Jay Inslee.
“An act relating to supporting youth,” or Senate Bill 5599, allows host homes for runaway youth “to house youth without parental permission.” Furthermore, the host homes do not need to notify parents about where their kids are or if they are getting medical interventions “if there is a compelling reason not to, which includes a youth seeking protected health services.”
The “protected health care services” included “gender-affirming care,” which for minors arbitrarily included anything prescribed by a doctor to treat dysphoria, the bill said.
“Gender affirming treatment can be prescribed to two-spirit, transgender, nonbinary, and other gender diverse individuals,” the bill stated.
For minors, “affirming care” typically included puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones and surgeries. It was unclear which services would be approved under the bill.
“In the dystopian nightmare we are in, if a parent doesn’t use the child’s chosen pronoun or name, they are labeled dangerous,” Pamela Garfield-Jaeger said in her testimony, according to Daily Signal.

It is child abuse, pure and simple.

Throwing your child out of the house -- Conversion Therapy -- etc.
That is child abuse.

Do you believe child abuse is only committed by the parents?
Also, do you believe these people actually have the child's best interest at heart?

You do know this came about from how gay kids were treated when that was happening.
We've been there before.

I had the horrifying experience of trying to adopt my own niece in Washington and it was absolutely awful. My husband and I could definitely sue the pants off the state but we don't want to put her through anything else.
They could care less about a child's welfare there and already have WAAAYYY too much power over children, period.
This doesn't surprise me one bit. The state is beautiful, but it sucks.

Does your child feel safe in talking with you about their LGBTQ - Trans feelings.
Is your home and you accepting of your child discussing this with you?
Or do they have to find acceptance elsewhere.
Let's start with home.

No way to put it softly, you are a despicable human being if you actually agree with this. Children are being indoctrinated with trans ideology at a young age. After they have been confused , the state then butters up to them and drives a wedge between them and their parents while luring them 8n by pretending to care about them. All while making it legal to perform medical intervention without parental consent.
Get some help, you are sick in the head
