Now Law: Washington State May Hide Kids From Parents for “Sex Changes” and Abortions

Given that every member of his party voted for the legislation, perhaps it’s no surprise that Governor Jay Inslee (D-Wash.) signed into law Tuesday a bill that would allow his state to hide minors from parents. And why?

So the kids could proceed with sexual-distortion treatments (SDTs), euphemistically known as “gender-affirming care,” or have an abortion.

In other words, if destroying bodies is the goal, Washington state is all in — and the parents can be cut out.

Opposed by every state Republican lawmaker, the controversial legislation is banally named “Senate Bill 5599.” The man introducing it, Senator Marko Liias (D-Lynnwood), was quite proud of what his sexual devolutionary handiwork enables: the “state-sanctioned kidnapping of children,” as critics such as writer and radio host Ari Hoffman and The Gateway Pundit’s Jim Hoft put it.

Hyperbole or not, for certain is that Governor Inslee signed the bill in private for a reason:

It’s an outrageous violation of parental rights.

As Hoft reports, “Washington state’s current law requires that any youth shelter where a child seeks refuge must notify their parents or guardians within 24 to 72 hours. However, the state law allows them to not tell the parents or legal guardians if they have ‘compelling reasons’ to believe that doing so would put the kid in danger of abuse or neglect.”

There’s the catch. The opening line of SB 5599’s page three reads, “‘Compelling reasons’ include, but are not limited to … When a minor is seeking or receiving protected health care services.”

On the very next line, the bill’s framers explain, “‘Protected health care services’ means gender affirming treatment … and reproductive health care services.”

Of course, “reproductive health services” is a euphemism for prenatal infanticide. Moreover, there’s no such thing as “gender-affirming treatment” because, first, people don’t actually have “gender” (words do; that is, under proper traditional language usage). Boys and girls are defined by the quality called “sex” — and actual sex-affirming care would involve helping a person accept his inborn male or female status.

So to be blunt, if your child is experiencing sexual confusion, Washington state will facilitate your son’s castration or daughter’s breast removal before the youth outgrows the likely temporary phase — which, studies show, will happen naturally with 80 to 90-plus percent of kids experiencing Sexual Identity Disorder (SID, which the activists call “gender dysphoria”).

Unfortunately, this isn’t like getting drunk and regretting an obnoxious tattoo you wake up with in the morning, or lamenting how you removed an addition to your home. No amount of money can restore these kids’ mutilated bodies.

Hapless youths such as “Nathaniel” (last name withheld for privacy reasons) learned this the hard way: He regretted “bottom surgery” he had just after his 18th birthday mere months later, saying it was a “Frankenstein” procedure and “I feel as though I have ruined my life.”

Then there’s Chloe Cole, an 18-year-old female who “was put on puberty blockers at the age of 13, causing joint pain, weak bone density, and continuous UTI symptoms,” related The Gateway Pundit last month. “She had a double mastectomy when she was only 15, and was prescribed puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones at the same young age. Now, three years later, she deeply regrets these permanent, life-altering decisions.”

Cole is currently suing the medical “professionals” responsible, and in a letter of intent mentions how they lied to her and her parents during the course of their malpractice.

And thanks to Washington state’s Democratic sexual devolutionaries, there will now be more Nathaniels and Chloes, broken kids with broken bodies and lives.

Given this, and that the MUSS (Made-up Sexual Status, aka “transgender”) agenda has no basis in science or reason, it’s not surprising that there’s now serious pushback against SB 5599. This includes a state referendum effort against the bill, as journalist Jonathan Choe explains (below).

The outrage was also apparent under a triumphal March tweet sent by Sen. Liias. A representative sampling of responses follows:

  • “Why y’all so obsessed with separating children from their parents?”
  • “You sure know better than us parents, Marko.”
  • “If this becomes law, any child can claim a trans identity and have the state take them away from their parents, perhaps permanently. The parents will not be told where their child is and will have no legal recourse.”
  • “Congratulations, you’ve just won the worst state legislator of the year award.”
  • “This is evil. We should be protecting our children not encouraging them to run away from their parents because they ‘misgendered’ them. Groomers and pedos are going to love this.”

Another respondent illustrated SB 5599’s absurdity. “Your support for trans has been instrnental [sic] for my daughter,” tweeter RB wrote. “She is 7, identifies as HODA — Homeless Drug Addict. She now spends weekends living on the streets and will complete her HODA trans this summer and live on the streets — thank you and other child trans supporters.”

This satirical claim is every bit as valid as the MUSS agenda. Far from the obscurantist claim that SID has a biological basis, research indicates that it’s an example of the apple not falling far from the tree. That is, a majority (53 percent) of women with MUSS-identifying sons are themselves significantly mentally ill, according to a study PJ Media discussed last month.

There have always been crazy people. The difference is that now they’re in high office and, with voters’ complicity, are making the whole nation their asylum.
