Tim Walz may have the manner of a kindly, Midwestern dad. But when it
comes to protecting the country’s children from transgender medical
interventions, Walz is not interested. In fact, he wants the opposite.
Vice President Kamala Harris tapped the Minnesota governor as her
running mate Tuesday, prompting scrutiny of his progressive record on
everything from immigration to abortion and gender ideology.
Walz signed a cluster of legislation in April 2023 that established
Minnesota as a haven for children who want puberty blockers, cross-sex
hormones, or transgender surgeries.
One law Walz signed allows Minnesota to seize custody of a child whose
parents refuse to provide “gender affirming care.”
“A court of this state has temporary emergency jurisdiction if the child
is present in this state and … the child has been unable to obtain
gender-affirming health care,” the bill reads.
The same law says Minnesota will refuse to help if another state is
trying to remove a child from his or her parents because the parents are
subjecting the child to hormone treatments or surgeries.
At the signing, Walz squeezed the hand of a 12-year-old boy wearing a
dress who identified as a girl. A six-year-old boy, also in a dress, was
in attendance with his parents, who are raising him as a girl.
“For trans rights,” the squirming six-year-old said when asked by a
reporter why his family was there.
“Guess what? Love wins,” Walz said at the order signing.
Walz’s lieutenant governor, Peggy Flanagan, wore a shirt with a picture
of a knife and the words, “Protect Trans Kids” to the signing.
In May of last year, Walz signed legislation requiring boys’ bathrooms
in public schools to stock free tampons or pads beginning in January 2024.
