Minnesota ‘Trans Refuge’ Bill Embraces Transgender Radicalism

The Minnesota senate is considering controversial legislation that will make Minnesota the nation’s second “trans refuge state,” a state (like California) where minor children from around the country can flee — or be taken — to obtain on-demand puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and irreversible surgeries. And all without the knowledge or consent of their parents, no matter where in the country they live. Nineteen other states are considering similar legislation.

Minnesota’s HF 146 threatens the long-term health of vulnerable children who are struggling to embrace their immutably male or female bodies. While other states, including Indiana, West Virginia, Kentucky, Mississippi, South Dakota, and Iowa, are appropriately limiting the use of “gender-imitating medical interventions” on children under 18, Minnesota is poised to completely disregard the growing body of medical evidence demonstrating that these experimental hormonal and surgical interventions cause irreparable harm to kids.
