This legislation intends to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/newsom-signs-9-abortion-reproductive-health-bills-into-law\/\" title=\"Newsom approves 9 abortion, reproductive health ...s.\">strengthen legal protections<\/a> for transgender individuals, categorizing deadnaming\u2014referring to a transgender person&#8217;s birth name\u2014and misgendering as discriminatory practices. The bill also directs courts to consider such actions as forms of coercive control. If passed, the law would prevent courts from enforcing other states&#8217; laws that could remove children from their parents for allowing them to access gender-affirming healthcare. The bill has faced prior resistance, notably in California, where similar legislation was vetoed by Governor Gavin Newsom due to concerns over its implications for civil rights. The Colorado bill is set for commitee consideration.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Colorado Democrats roll out bill to consider &lsquo;misgendering&rsquo; a &lsquo;discriminatory&rsquo; act<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2080658\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>A group of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/colorado\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Colorado\">Colorado<\/a> Democrats in the state legislature have introduced legislation to require courts to consider &ldquo;deadnaming&rdquo; and &ldquo;misgendering&rdquo; in court battles regarding child custody.<\/p>\n<p>As President Donald Trump has signed executive orders affirming only two genders, male and female, and keeping women&rsquo;s sports reserved for biological females, some Democrat-led states are renewing efforts to sign transgender-focused legislation.
