    A small group of activists want California voters to decide whether transgender minors should be allowed to receive puberty blockers, hormone therapy or gender-affirming surgeries.

    Because we all know some ass-backwards voters in the Central Valley should be making decisions about medical care.

      Not sure what the point of this is… I’m assuming this will be wildly unpopular at the state level. Or am I in a bubble? Sometimes people will vote for anything if you staple “save the children” on it. Even when children will be the most directly harmed by it.

        I think abortion didn’t work out for the secessionists, so they moved on to a new hate. This is a Republican Hallmarktm issue.

        If you want a preview, look to how they’re lying about ballot initiatives in other states, such as Ohio after the failure of Issue 1, which again was misrepresented by Republicans.

        Or just look back to Prop8.

        I’d like to think we’ve gotten smarter than we were then, but current polling makes me worried.

    I think we should start a ballot initiative to ship hateful voters in California to their homeland… Texas or Florida.
