The State of California Third District Court of Appeals ruled that a state law requiring the use of preferred pronouns by nursing home workers violated their free speech rights.
The court struck down the pro-transgender regulation on Friday in a unanimous 3-0 decision.
The provision was a part of the LGBTQ Long-Term Care Facility Residents' Bill of Rights passed in 2017 and signed into law by then-Gov. Jerry Brown. The bill's author, state Sen. Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco), released a statement lambasting the decision.
"The Court's decision is disconnected from the reality facing transgender people," said Sen. Wiener.
I see transgender Identity as mental illness appropriation. No different than appropriating dreadlocks or blackface. exploitation of the sensitivities in our society regarding mental illness. we don't hold the mentally ill accountable. transgender is an appropriation of that policy.
I won't participate in your mental illness, seek medical help ! I won't participate in laws that provide special rights rather than equal rights. no one gets to be trans aged. I want to collect social security benefits now, but I must use my biological age.

Probably something closer to "Please dont be angry. Yes we know we didnt give trannies what they want but the agenda hasnt progressed enough to pull this off yet."
I think they just bring things forward for them, so they can enter the nursing home at around 28. That way they can get up to 5 years there before their inevitable demise just like their octogenarian co-residents.

Lol inverse reality maybe.
The reality is that you don't choose your sex, you can't change it, and no one assigns it.
A man is a man and that's not just my reality.
