Fascist Fauci told us to “follow the science”. The science tells us we have two genders. The State of California RECOGNIZES 86 genders. No science, just feelings and ideology. Kids are confused. In science class they learn about two genders. In government classes they learn there is no limit to the number of genders.
“Assemblywoman Leticia Castillo, a Republican from the 58th Assembly District, representing parts of Riverside and San Bernardino counties, said she introduced the first two bills to restore parental rights and place safeguards around families in the state. Under current California law, parents can be investigated by social services for abuse and can lose custody of their children for failing to affirm their so-called gender identity.
“We must protect our children from harmful ideologies that are completely out of control and have already done unspeakable harm,” Castillo said at a press conference Friday outside the California state Capitol building in Sacramento. “It’s time for this abuse to end.”
Our kids are being abused by the FAILURE FACTORIES of California. Our taxes are being abused by those with emotional problems, who seem to be in charge of our government schools.
‘Just the Beginning’: Californians Fight Back Against Leftist Gender Ideology

Californians are fighting back against radical transgender ideology in their schools and athletic associations.
With the announcement of new legislation in the state Assembly on Friday to protect girls and women’s sports as well as parental rights, advocates say they want California to set a precedent for other liberal blue states.
The three bills would allow parents to opt their children out of instruction about transgender concepts in school, amend child abuse codes to exclude parental refusal to medically or socially transition their child, and return to sex-segregated athletics, restrooms, and changing rooms.
Assemblywoman Leticia Castillo, a Republican from the 58th Assembly District, representing parts of Riverside and San Bernardino counties, said she introduced the first two bills to restore parental rights and place safeguards around families in the state. Under current California law, parents can be investigated by social services for abuse and can lose custody of their children for failing to affirm their so-called gender identity.
“We must protect our children from harmful ideologies that are completely out of control and have already done unspeakable harm,” Castillo said at a press conference Friday outside the California state Capitol building in Sacramento. “It’s time for this abuse to end.”
The legislation comes in the wake of a federal investigation of the California Interscholastic Federation and of San Jose State University for Title IX violations, as well as three executive orders from President Donald Trump banning boys and men from girls and women’s sports; prohibiting federal funding of K-12 schools that promote radical gender ideology; and banning federal funding of sex-change surgeries for minors.
Among those who spoke in support of the new legislation at the press conference was Chloe Cole, a 20-year-old California resident and detransitioner who now advocates against gender ideology.
“An executive order is not enough,” Cole said. “We need laws, not only federally, but in our state.”
Erin Friday, a lawyer and California mother of a formerly trans-identified daughter, is spearheading the grassroots effort to enact this legislation and protect children from transgender ideology in school.
Friday said many of those advocating against transgender ideology at the state level aren’t necessarily Republican or conservative. They’re also regular Democrats who have had enough of the actions of their elected officials.
“I’ve been a Democrat since I was 18 years old, and I cannot get a single Democrat lawmaker to sit down and have a conversation with me on this issue,” Friday told The Daily Signal. “They’re not listening to constituents. They decided to make it a partisan issue.”
Greg Burt, vice president of the California Family Council, said he anticipates an uphill battle on all these measures, but they show the culture is shifting in California.
“There’s a lot of Democrats who are waking up to this, that it is one step too far to abandon the whole idea that there are things called male and female, and it’s determined by their biology,” Burt told The Daily Signal. “They’re now voting Republican, just on that issue alone.”
Meanwhile, Republicans in the state don’t prioritize parental rights because they cannot get support on the issue, he said. Democrats hold 3-to-1 supermajorities in both houses of the California Legislature.
“The fact that Trump came out so clear on those issues is, is a real big help,” Burt said. “Hopefully, it transforms the Republicans, so they start realizing these are winning issues.”
He urged the Trump administration to follow through on its executive orders and support the grassroots movement already in place.
“It can’t be an empty threat,” Burt said. “These activists and legislators really believe what they are doing is helping these kids, and they will hardly look at the opposite viewpoint.”
To win on this issue at a national level, he said, California must change first because every bill promoting transgender ideology originated in the state. Other blue states will follow the lead of California.
“You’re not getting rid of this until you go to the state who is influencing the rest of the nation,” Burt asserted. “Don’t just think you can fix it in other red states and ignore California, because California will not ignore the rest of the country.”
California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s office did not respond to The Daily Signal’s request for comment.
“Fascist”, a word I don’t use lightly, applies to Fauci and the gender benders. In fact, an elephant in the room even the Right is painfully unaware of regarding Left wing gender ideology has not only been plaguing society for decades, we’ve become so thick-skinned and desensitized to it we don’t see it as a problem, but it is more than a pet cause of feminists and gender ideologists; pants on women. While we RIGHTFULLY have a problem with men trying to compete with women in sports, FEMINISM, both open and under the radar, has played a huge role in gender ideology. Of course, the Left is all for “follow the science” when it either proves THEIR narratives or, at the very least, it can be twisted. When the science disproves their narratives, they deny it or have a “Who gives a hoot” attitude. For starters, as much as the Left promotes the notion that same sexers are born that way, science has proven that is poppycock. In fact, the LGBTQ+ crowd may me no less an enemy of any chance their “born this way” narrative has of being alive than they realize, and little proves that point half as much as so-called “LGBTQ+ pride”, so saying a person is born a same sexer or even bisexual is like saying he/she is born wearing glasses. Also, another area the “science” does not jibe with Leftist gender ideology regards pants on women TWICE over; in the 1970s, when skirt/dress wearing on women bottomed out, a study was done on male reaction to females in pants. The results were as follows; when a male looks at a female in pants from the rear, he looks at her rear. When he looks at her from the front, he looks where he has the LEAST amount of business doing so. WORSE, he doesn’t have to want to look or even KNOW he’s looking. Also, there are health DETRIMENTS women get a taste of when they wear pants, shorts or even leggings that skirts/dresses prevent, but because all that goes against the Left’s narrative, few know that or even GET TO find out.
I forgot to mention long since retired Assemblywoman Diane Martinez, such an incompetent nut that, if a state legislator wanted a bill passed, her opposition to it would all but guarantee its passage(conversely, if a state legislator wanted a bill to fail, Martinez’s support for it would equally play a role in its failure), authored a bill that proves that our state is called “The Nanny State” for good reason; California Code 12947.5, aka the “Pants Bill”, which requires employers to allow females to dress in drag at work. The irony is rich; its passage was at a time when even PRETENSE of being on the Left was political kryptonite. Also, it has been vetoed on its previous two attempts and Pete Wilson, the RINO governor who had barely survived the primaries(proof that Wilson had RINO tendencies was the fact that when he was elected in 1990, the LGBTQ+ vote propelled him to victory), was supposedly trying to shed his RINO(even though the term hadn’t been coined yet) image. Also, as much as we as a society try to make heroes, or at least non-villains out of women who avoid skirts/dresses like the plague, few stand up for gals who, for various reasons, not only wear skirts/dresses, but exclusively.
