"And last week, that parent-led activist group, Rainbow Families Action, joined with District 1 Supervisor Connie Chan to introduce a Board of Supervisors resolution "reaffirming San Francisco's commitment to the right of its transgender, gender-nonconforming, intersex and two-spirit (TGNCl2S) residents and employees to obtain gender-affirming care without discrimination; and demanding healthcare providers and insurance carriers operating within the city to adhere to state and local laws mandating access to medically necessary healthcare, including gender-affirming care.""
"The unfolding story of families coming together to stand up for trans kids' medical rights is inspiring. Last April, on Trans Visibility Day, more than 100 parents and kids marched on Governor Newsom's house in Kentfield, after he threw the trans community under the bus by endorsing phony right wing talking points about trans athletes and medical care for trans youth."
Parents of trans children organized to oppose Sutter Health's suspension of gender-affirming care in Northern California; the provider backed down. Rainbow Families Action and District 1 Supervisor Connie Chan introduced a Board of Supervisors resolution reaffirming San Francisco's commitment to TGNCl2S residents' and employees' right to obtain gender-affirming care without discrimination and demanding providers and insurers comply with state and local laws mandating medically necessary care. A Patients Before Politics rally on City Hall steps will support the resolution with allies including the San Francisco Labor Council and the Harvey Milk Democratic Club. Earlier activism included a march on Governor Newsom's house by over 100 parents and kids on Trans Visibility Day.
