Democrats Want 'Misgendering' And 'Deadnaming' To Be Considered Child Abuse

Democrats in Colorado have introduced a bill called "The Kelly Loving Act" that would recognize "misgendering" and "deadnaming" as forms of abuse against children who identify as transgender. The bill defines "deadnaming" as referring to someone by their birth name instead of their chosen name, and "misgendering" as using pronouns that conflict with someone's gender identity. If passed, the bill would consider these actions as "coercive control" in child custody disputes. The legislation would also prohibit Colorado courts from enforcing orders from other states that require a child to be removed from parents who allow them to undergo transition procedures. Additionally, the bill would mandate schools to adopt policies regarding "chosen names" and prohibit school dress codes based on gender. The bill has passed the House committee and is on its way to a vote. Critics argue that the bill would allow the state to take children away from parents who do not affirm their child's gender identity. The bill is seen as a radical push for gender ideology in schools, including private and charter schools.
