here is my dem gov/ag impression:

hello thanks for having me. i love geniciding palestinians and throwing Black people in prison and putting shell refineries in kindergartens. also crypto. (dylan mulvaney and pete buttigieg stop making out to join the applause.) i'd shoot my own dog to save a trans child from stubbing his toe. (a cis millionaire ED gives me an award.) love wins. (the crowd goes wild, rigo rips one of mcbride's two awards of her hand to present to me.) appreciate y'all, i gotta run, i need to get back to the office and do more fucking nothing for the trans people we're all here nobly fundraising off of tonight. (standing ovation, attendees are voting for me as they clap because there's a cheeto in the dang whitehouse.) god bless america. [i flash a peace sign and my dick and chug champagne dregs from the tables on my way out then somehow drunk drive a waymo into an encampment.]

CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE

OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY CENTRAL

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS

Gender Affirming Care

Note: The information on this web page is for informational purposes only and is not legal advice. The California Attorney General does not represent individuals in legal matters. You may consider consulting an attorney to better understand your rights.

California Anti-Discrimination Laws

California Civil Code section 1798.301 provides that "gender-affirming healthcare services, and gender-affirming mental healthcare services are rights secured by the Constitution and laws of California." The Legislature further provided that "[i]nterference with these rights... is against the public policy of California." (Ibid.)

California law prohibits discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity, gender expression, and transgender status, in healthcare services and coverage. Healthcare providers and insurers covered by California law cannot discriminate against a patient for being any of the following: transgender, a person diagnosed with gender dysphoria, nonbinary, gender nonconforming, or intersex.¹

The Right to Medical Treatment

Under California law, gender-affirming care is defined as "medically necessary healthcare that respects the gender identity of the patient, as experienced and defined by the patient." In California, you have the right to receive medically necessary gender-affirming care or any other medically necessary healthcare without discrimination regardless of your sex, gender identity, gender expression, transgender status, diagnosis of gender dysphoria, or intersex status.³

For all healthcare, you have the right to receive:

The emergency healthcare you need to determine if you have an emergency medical condition, as well as the emergency healthcare you need to relieve or eliminate that emergency medical condition, provided the hospital has the personnel and facilities to provide such healthcare. If the hospital does not have the p…

Obligations of Insurers and Healthcare Plans

Insurers and healthcare plans covered by California law are prohibited from denying an individual a plan contract, health insurance policy, or coverage for a benefit included in the contract or policy, based on a person's sex. This includes medically necessary gender-affirming care for gender dysphoria. Insurers and healthcare plans must also cover medically necessary treatment for gender dysphoria as part of the requirement to cover behavioral health conditions under California law. This includes all services identified in the most recent edition of the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) Standards of Care.8

If an in-network provider is unavailable to provide services according to the geographic and timely access standards, the insurer must arrange for an out-of-network provider to provide the services." While insurers can deny coverage on a case-by-case basis, they must provide a reason and instructions on how to file a grievance to appeal the denial. 10 If your health plan or insurer refuses to cover certain services related to gender-affirming care, you should contact the California Department of Managed Health Care or the California Department of Insurance. Contact information for these departments is located at the end of this document. You may also want to consult a lawyer or patient advocate.

An insurance company shall not terminate or refuse to issue or renew professional liability insurance or increase the premium or deductible for healthcare providers based solely on their provision of gender-affirming care, including based on any legal action taken against the provider by another state for providing such care. 11

California Shield Law and other Protections for Patients and Providers

California protects individuals and families accessing gender-affirming care in our state from other states' investigation and prosecution through a series of "shield laws." Shield laws are legal prot…

State and local law enforcement are generally prohibited from arresting or assisting with extraditing anyone in connection with lawfully providing, facilitating, or receiving gender-affirming care in California, 13

State and local law enforcement employees and entities are prohibited from cooperating with, providing information to, or using public resources to aid investigations or proceedings related to providing gender-affirming care in California. 14

A subpoena may not be issued if it is based on violation of another state's laws that interfere with the right to allow a child to receive gender-affirming healthcare, or if the state subpoena would require the disclosure of gender-affirming healthcare services related to another state's civil action penalizing that care. 15

A person may institute a civil action for injunctive, monetary, or other appropriate relief against someone who engages in abusive litigation that infringes on or interferes with gender-affirming care in California. 16

Healthcare practitioners are also protected from:

Denial of application for licensure or suspension, revocation, or other discipline based on the performance, recommendation, or provision of gender-affirming care by medical boards that certify health professionals. 17

Denial or restriction of staff privileges based on any out-of-state action against a healthcare practitioner for providing gender-affirming care. 18

Privacy Protections

Under the federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and California privacy laws, you have the right to keep your medical records and history private." Healthcare providers, health plans, and insurance companies cannot share your personal health information (PHI) with anyone, except in limited circumstances.20

the subpoena would require the disclosure of gender-affirming healthcare services related to another state's civil action penalizing that care).

13 Pen. Code, § 13778.3; see also id. at § 1334.2, subd. (f) (judg…

Additional Protections

California's Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Long-Term Care Facility Residents Bill of Rights. prohibits discrimination against individuals in long-term care facilities based on their actual or perceived sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, or HIV status. 21

California requires that foster youth, including transgender, nonbinary, intersex, and gender expansive youth in foster care, have access to medically necessary gender-affirming care, including gender-affirming mental healthcare, based on prevailing standards of care. 22

Transgender and intersex youth detained in California juvenile facilities have the right to have access to medical and behavioral health providers qualified to provide care and treatment to transgender and intersex youth.23

California has a number of resources for transgender people and the broader LGBTQ+ community:

ahistorical "you ask for too much"/"you only started existing in 2016"/"now isn't the time" shit sucks - our main ask is literally "pls do not actively do novel legislating against us maybe?" cis people are the ones Doing Things to *us*! y'all are the ones obsessed with transness! just... stop???

The first is that the current anti-trans backlash is the result of “activists going too far,” a trope that is levied against virtually every social justice movement. This framing allows opponents to cast the rolling back of rights as a “realignment” with public opinion and a return to the “natural order” of things. But that is not at all what has happened here.

I’ve been involved in trans communities since the early 1990s, and during that entire time trans people have acted locally—in their schools, workplaces, and communities—to increase awareness and challenge discriminatory practices. The International Olympic Committee began allowing trans athletes to compete way back in 2004, and gender-affirming care for trans youth is now almost three decades old. These are not by any means “novel” or “radical” developments.

LA Gov. John Bel Edwards' veto of HB 648, our 2023 healthcare ban, begins: "The bill is entitled the Stop Harming Our Kids Act, which is ironic because that is precisely what it does."

He wrote he'd "never issued a veto with the degree of detail that I am providing here."

It's 6 pages. 1/2

it's unbelievable any trans activist (except rigo & mara [lol]) would tell him that. the ones quoted certainly don't! the rest is saying the same shit just in nicer pr-trained politician-speak. "do you support x thing?" "i support all things." "right but x thing tho?" "all things." yeah man totally

"I understand that some people were hurt by how I framed my comments in the past, and I take that seriously and have listened to their feedback," he said.

"My intent has always been to push our party to have honest, tough conversations so we can fight back more effectively against the far-right attacks on LGBTQ Americans. I remain committed to protecting the rights and dignity of transgender Americans and to having these conversations with empathy and respect, even when they're difficult," Moulton continued.

He added that he has "heard from a lot of LGBTQ+ advocates, both locally and nationally, who have reached out to thank me for my past support and for starting a conversation that our party needs to have about the best way to protect the trans community."

Comeau described the conversation as "a very cordial conversation. We had disagreements, we had agreements."

"We can agree that we can have these conversations, we can be respectful about them. Where we disagree a little bit, I did say, that his initial language that he used was disrespectful," Comeau said shortly after he finished his call with Moulton.

"What he said to me was, 'if we were to apologize for every little thing, then how are we going to do that?""

Moulton does not share the anti-trans positions of many Republicans. He told NOTUS that there is no room in the Democratic Party for complete opposition to trans rights. In his Senate campaign website, he says he will "fight to pass full federal LGBTQ+ anti-discrimination policies” and support the Equality Act. Moulton is a member of the Congressional Equality Caucus and has voted against GOP anti-trans bills.

ftr moulton neither "walked it back" nor apologized. your link reports he says he "understands some people were hurt" by calling us men trampling his 5yo daughter who intimidated him into silence, and that we thanked him for "starting a conversation" which is obviously absurd.

sure. i prefer this to nothing; it's the first time any of these states has done anything other than nothing. but it is nonetheless a concrete demonstration, supplanting the obvious inference, that the refusal of state officials to enforce their own nondiscrimination laws is active and willful.

if you were wondering why it's fine for kaiser/stanford/etc to discriminate against trans people in california but not CHOC/Rady, that's why. he can go after CHOC/Rady without committing himself to the legal position that denying trans people healthcare violates CA nondiscrimination law.

theatrics. AG bonta is not enforcing CA nondiscrimination law, because if he did that he'd be committing to enforcing CA nondiscrimination law for trans people, which he refuses to do. he is accusing CHOC/Rady of... violating CA mergers and acquisitions law.
