If signed by Governor Gavin Newsom, the bill would mandate judges \u200cto evaluate whether a parent affirms their \u200dchild&#8217;s gender identity, among\u200b other factors,\u200b when <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/california-assembly-passes-bill-adding-gender-acceptance-to-list-of-considerations-in-determining-child-custody\/\" title=\"California Assembly approves bill including gender acceptance in child custody determinations.\">making custody decisions<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">According to the bill, \u200ca parent&#8217;s affirmation of their child&#8217;s gender identity or expression is \u2064considered essential for the child&#8217;s overall well-being and\u2064 must be taken into account during\u200c custody\u2064 disputes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Assemblymember Lori Wilson explained that affirmation could include providing gender-targeted toys, nail \u2063polish, and\u2063 hair length, as reported by the Associated Press.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Opponents \u200bof the bill argue that it undermines parental \u200brights and can be easily manipulated. The California Family Council expressed concerns\u2063 that parents who do\u2063 not affirm their child&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/california-passes-bill-allowing-judges-to-consider-whether-a-parent-affirms-childs-gender-identity-during-custody-disputes\/\" title=\"California allows judges to consider a parent's support for their child's gender identity in custody disputes.\">chosen gender identity risk losing\u2064 custody<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Critics also worry about potential abuse of the system, where parents \u2062may use gender as a means \u200cof retaliation against each other.
