Sacramento Becomes Sanctuary City For Transgender People, Including Minors

On Tuesday, the Sacramento City Council announced that the municipality would become a sanctuary city for transgender individuals, including minors, in addition to its existing status as a sanctuary for undocumented immigrants.

“In preparation of future legislation that may criminalize those providing or seeking gender-affirming care and given the Council’s stated values of equity and inclusion, it is important for the City of Sacramento to be proactive in reiterating our commitment to transgender rights and equal protections for transgender people by declaring ourselves a sanctuary city and a place of safety for transgender people,” it continued.

Democratic Sacramento City Councilmember Katie Valenzuela spearheaded the resolution, which provides protection for medical professionals who perform gender reassignment surgeries on minors, shielding them from potential criminal punishment and civil liabilities.

The resolution also received backing from the local chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America.

@Kwek00 You obviously are not well informed or knowledgeable about city councils in various democratic ( blue) run cities.
Been to any major blue ( democratic run cities, like NYC? Much of the trouble the city encounters is because of policies from ideological thinking by these city council members. It has costs lives. Two notably within the last week.

My issue with these city councils deals primarily with their policies that affect police and the safety and welfare of their citizens.
And that image you called a meme was the councilwoman who advocated for defunding the police. That wasn’t what she was saying after getting violently carjacked. Look it up. Suddenly she wanted and (demanded) the perpetrators be gone after.

As for cities/ and their councils that want sanctuary for transgender people, that’s fine with legal aged people. You’re of legal age you are a transgender identifying person, so be it.

As for minors, that is not the realm, obligation or responsibility of a city council or any level of government to take any actions of gender reassignment or affirmation procedures by either government or medical professions.
That falls as responsibilities and decisions of parents of their children.

@soar2newhighs I asked specifically where all the socialists and marxists are because you claimed:

Most city councils in cities in blue states are Marxist/ communist inspired uneducated in the world of reality who live in some delusional world.

And I get this long responds... but no answer. And I guess the tunnelvision is also still in check, because it's convenient to dodge the question. But hey, I can't wait till that Lennin quote randomly pops ups again. You know, that quote Lennin never uttered, but is still attributed and proudly post by gullible people that don't take the time to look anything up and construct their "reality" in this right-wing echo chamber.

Much of the trouble the city encounters is because of policies from ideological thinking by these city council members. It has costs lives. Two notably within the last week.

I guess the people that talk and reason like yourself, are free from this behavior and it's consequences? I also wonder what lives were lost that they have such weight to adress a policy that touches 100 morel lifes.

As for cities/ and their councils that want sanctuary for transgender people, that’s fine with legal aged people. You’re of legal age you are a transgender identifying person, so be it.

In the real world... sexuality isn't really tempered by an age limit. It's mostly run by biological elements. Age limits, and categorisations only excist because lawmakers need too draw a line somewhere. If your sexual awakening happens before that age limit, and you feel defined in a certain way, your surroundings shouldn't be persecuting you or telling you you are wrong. On what basis do they make their evaluation?

Minors are human beings too. Maybe in your reality it's totally okay to deny their emotions when it comes to sex... but if that is true, then maybe you should just try to be concious of your preferences and emotions and try to conciously feel diffrent for a day. If you can't, maybe you should be a bit more forgiving and understanding towards younger people that are just as limited as you are.

@Kwek00 Hey being you raised the issue of this meme (pops up occasionally) I figured you’d want to see it again. It’s the tenets expressed, be it by Lenin, Stalin, or whomever, is what is the gist of it is, not so much the author, But if you know who ( author) espoused these tenets, I’d be glad if you could advise me, lest I insult Lenin any further when I cause this meme to pop up.

@soar2newhighs It's a hoax... and you like the gist of it, because it fits your bias.

@Kwek00 The problem you have with this is you are either ignorant of or in denial that these tenets are being pushed in the United States. Your beliefs and ideological views may well support these tenets.
For example when you introduce information that shows other children having sex and adult sexual behavior to young impressionable children via books; yes the first tenet is in play…corrupt the young.

Kwek00 · 41-45, M

@soar2newhighs Corrupt the young? I think our biological make up does that. This conservative tendency for striving toward purity where there is none... is the delusional part.

soar2newhighs

@Kwek00 Sorry, I disagree with your opinion.

@Kwek00 When it comes to opinions even YOU have a right to opinions.

@soar2newhighs No... The moment you start denieing the biological make up of teenagers, and the effects of hormones, ... things that are measurable. At that moment your opionion is not worth having. That's the point where it becomes very clear that you are the delusional one that is uneducated in the world of reality.

soar2newhighs

@Kwek00 And just what is the biological make up of teenagers? You a medical professional?
You raised the issue of teenagers.
My earlier post related to persons of legal age ( varies in states) as opposed to minors, particularly young children.

Kwek00 · 41-45, M

@soar2newhighs Before puberty, children have little to no feeling with anything having to do with sex (that I'm aware off). That doesn't mean that, from a certain age, they should not be aware of it.

And I'm not an expert, I listen to biologists in the field. But denieing that human beings from certain age (once hormones kick in) develop sexual feelings and urges is just a dumb position to take. And that these feelings and urges develop before a the preset legal bar by legeslators, is just a normal considering the role that legeslators have. Because categorisations are fairly arbitrary and they are all human conceptions, biology doesn't give a damn about human conceptions like legal categories. That sexual education wants to start at an age young enough to capture those that bloom early instead of waiting till, not the students but the parents, are ready to deal with sexual matters in class runs the risk of young bloomers to be illformed. Which have effects in society.

The effects of sexual education in society, are also measurable. Here is just one meta study: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10530760/
