On Monday, Governor Newsom signed into law a new bill preventing school districts from requiring staff members to disclose students’ “sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression” to any other person. Elon Musk reacted with a simple but foreboding response: “The state will take away your kids in California.” Alarmist? Not really. One need only look to what is happening in Switzerland to get a harrowing picture of the reality that unfolds when parents are kept in the dark.
The teenage daughter of parents living in Geneva, Switzerland, has been separated from her family for over a year by court order after they objected to her gender “transition.” The case, currently unfolding in Swiss courts, centers on parents who responded to the mental-health struggles of their daughter, including gender dysphoria, with care and support instead of hormone-blockers and surgeries. The state responded by taking their daughter away.
