Using taxpayer money to fund such controversial initiatives is a blatant misuse of public funds. Children should not be subjected to irreversible medical procedures such as sex change surgery and puberty blockers without thorough consideration and understanding of the long-term consequences. It’s appalling that a state representative would prioritize pushing a divisive agenda over the well-being and safety of our children. This must be met with vehement opposition and calls for accountability!

Minnesota Could Become a Trans Sanctuary State
April 3, 2023, 10:19am
Trans people from neighboring states, including Iowa, South Dakota, North Dakota, and Nebraska, could soon be seeking care in Minnesota.
The Minnesota House voted on Friday to pass the state’s proposed transgender refuge bill that would safeguard trans youth who live in states with gender-affirming care bans and need to travel to Minnesota to receive care.
If signed into law, HF146 would prevent other states from seizing children from their families because they’re receiving gender-affirming care. The bill also protects families, trans people, and healthcare workers from extradition orders and legal repercussions associated with travel to Minnesota for care.
“A court order for the removal of a child issued in another state because the
child’s parent or guardian assisted the child in receiving gender-affirming care in this state must not be enforced in this state,” the bill says.
