Brace yourselves, America! In a stunning display of wokeness, Colorado State House Democrats have passed a controversial bill, HB25-1312, which redefines parental rights in a way unimaginable to true patriots. Dubbed “Legal Protections for Transgender Individuals,” this bill not only classifies “misgendering” as a discriminatory act, but it also permits the state to remove children from their parents if they are “misgendered.”
The bill provides legal shields to woke parents who support their child in receiving “gender-affirming” care, even if the act is pursued in defiance of court orders from other states.
According to Colorado Newsline:
House Bill 25-1312 aims to add protections for transgender people in schools and courts. It would require courts to consider as a form of coercive control actions like deadnaming — using a transgender person’s previous name before transitioning in order to reject their identity — and misgendering in child custody decisions.
It would also shield parents who help their child obtain gender-affirming care from court orders in other states that outlaw the practice.
Here’s the moment when this controversial legislation passed:
BREAKING: Colorado House Democrats just passed a bill that classifies “misgendering” your own child as child abuse.
It could cause you to LOSE CUSTODY if you don’t “affirm” your child’s chosen gender.

The bill’s sponsor, Rep. Rebekah Stewart, a Democrat from Lakewood, defends the bill, arguing it’s in the child’s best interest. She states, “Supporting a child’s gender identity is indeed in the best interest of the child, and that support cannot be used against a loving and supportive parent in a dispute.”
Stewart adds, “This bill is truly the least that we can do. Frankly, I wish that we didn’t have to bring this bill, but the reality of navigating the world today as a transgender human necessitates it.”
Republicans, on the other hand, express outrage at the notion that such measures could classify misgendering as child abuse. GOP State Rep. Jarvis Caldwell from Colorado Springs voices vehement opposition: “The idea that misgendering your own child is considered coercive control, which is another word for child abuse, because you want to get your child help instead of affirming their delusions … this is the most disgusting bill I’ve seen so far.”
With the bill now heading to the Democrat-majority Colorado State Senate, there’s little doubt it will pass and be signed into law by the far-left Governor Jared Polis. Such legislation represents a chilling escalation in the culture wars, and true patriots must remain vigilant in defending traditional family values.
