#ChristJesusisKing In the case, a group of parents represented by International Partners for Ethical Care is challenging the administration of Gov. Bob Ferguson, D-Wash., as it seeks to implement laws that treat parents who refuse to “affirm” their children’s stated gender identity as akin to child abusers. #splc #quitccp #climatehoax Whenever a youth shelter receives a runaway child, state law requires the shelter to contact the parents within 72 hours, giving parents the location of their child, a description of their child’s physical and emotional condition, and why the child contacted the shelter. Washington law includes one exception: “compelling reasons” not to notify the parent, such as cases of “abuse or neglect.” #robbonta Yet in 2023, Washington’s Legislature passed two laws expanding those “compelling reasons” to include access to “gender-affirming care,” a euphemistic term for experimental medical interventions to make men appear female or vice versa. Advocates of these “treatments” say people who suffer from gender dysphoria (the painful and persistent condition of identifying with a gender opposite to your biological sex) will commit suicide without them. Yet the Department of Health and Human Services released a peer-reviewed report finding that there is “extremely weak evidence” for any concrete benefits and a great deal of evidence for harm from these interventions. #scottwiener Washington parents sued, claiming that the state had “passed laws that deliberately target certain parents by supplanting them with the state in the context of gender-confused runaway minors.” The parents claim that, under the new laws, if a child runs away seeking “gender-affirming treatment,” the shelter will refer the child for such interventions without parental notice or consent, the shelter will keep parents in the dark about the child’s location and condition, and reunification with the parents will be delayed—at the government’s discretion. https://www.dailysignal.com/2026/06/29/can-states-protect-kids-non-affirming-parents-give-them-transgender-treatments-supreme-court-takes-up-key-parental-rights-case/
