Erin Lee, parent of a former Poudre Schools student who was encouraged to transition from female to male, joins Dan to highlight her appropriately timed April Fool's Day testimony on one of the most ridiculous and chilling bills ever proposed at the Colorado General Assembly - HB 25-1312, 'Legal Protections for Transgender Individuals.'
The bill would: 1) define “misgendering” as child abuse (“coercive control”) — bullying parents to either transition their kids or else lose them; 2) protect ANY parent who brings a child to Colorado for mutilation (negating all other state laws and court orders); 3) force all schools to comply with transitioning children (even explicitly attacking charter schools and eliminating any gendered dress code); 4) define “misgendering” and “deadnaming” as discrimination for *all Colorado businesses.'
