Democrats in the Colorado State House passed a transgender protections bill that will make it child abuse for a parent to misgender their child. They have to use the name and gender – pronouns – the child chooses – their own child. Not doing so will be considered child abuse. They are calling it “coercive control.” Democrats have a clever name for everything.
They had shut down debate.
Parents would be accused of abuse if they say no to puberty blockers, hormones, and surgeries. The law is HB25-1312.
Colorado parents need to wake up.
The bill adds protections for transgender people in schools and courts. It would require courts to consider as a form of coercive control actions like deadnaming — using a transgender person’s previous name before transitioning to reject their identity — and misgendering in child custody decisions.
It would also shield parents who help their child obtain gender-affirming care from court orders in other states that outlaw the practice.
“Supporting a child’s gender identity is indeed in the best interest of the child, and that support cannot be used against a loving and supportive parent in a dispute,” said bill sponsor Rep. Rebekah Stewart, a Lakewood Democrat.
This erodes parental rights.

Schools could not adopt a gender-based dress code under the bill. If a school has an adopted policy related to chosen names, that policy would have to be “inclusive of all reasons that a student might adopt a chosen name that differs from the student’s legal name.”
Democrats can pass the bill without Republican support. It is heading for the Senate.
It’s madness.
Heads up for parents, charter schools, & businesses!
HB25-1312 is up TODAY in Judiciary.
If parents “misgender” their child, they can lose custody.
No school’s dress code may be based on gender.
If a business “misgenders” someone, there’s a fine.
Insanity. #copolitics #coleg pic.twitter.com/YFtGQLacJ1

This is a form of communism for lack of a better descriptor. It’s globalism.

This Democrat is a terribly misguided person or evil.

Colorado state Rep. Yara Zokaie doubles down on comparing parental rights groups to the KKK, citing the Southern Poverty Law Center.

Correction: There was an error adding a second bill and that line was removed.
