On Sunday, a bill that designates California as a sanctuary for teens and children who want medicalized gender transitions, went into effect.

On Saturday, state Senator Scott Wiener, who originally brought the bill forward, tweeted, “Tonight at midnight, SB 107 goes into effect & California officially becomes a state of refuge for trans kids & their families. As red states pursue 100s of laws criminalizing LGBTQ people — with incitement to violence all too common — CA stands strong as a beacon of hope.”

California Governor Gavin Newsom signed the legislation, which is titled simply, “Gender-affirming health care,” into law on September 30. 

Wiener originated the bill in January of 2021 and it passed the California legislature over the summer.

Weiner also supports public heroin injection sites and decriminalizing prostitution.
