California is the first state in the nation to label August as “Transgender History Month.”
The month will be celebrated for the first time in 2024 to honor transgender individuals and their experiences.
Democrat Assembly member of San Francisco Matt Haney, the author of the bill, said that he believes “that as Californians our strongest defense against the anti-trans agenda is just to tell the truth. Let’s tell the truth about transgender people’s lives, and let’s lift up the history of the transgender Californians who left their mark on our great state.”
The resolution to make August “Transgender History Month” followed parents calling for the state not to allow child gender transitions without parental consent.
“Many Californians remain unaware of the real lives and experiences of transgender people, even here in California,” noted San Francisco’s Democratic Party Chair Honey Mahogany.
“We can change that through awareness, education, and outreach, and I believe that establishing a Transgender History Month in California is one way we can do just that.”
Reporting from The Post Millennial:
Most recently, Attorney General Rob Bonta filed a civil rights lawsuit against the Chino Valley Unified School District to stop its new policy requiring schools to inform parents about a student's gender transition and placed a temporary restraining order on the district. Erin Friday, a Democrat assembly member, told Fox News: "This issue is affecting Democratic families and Republican families. Parents are losing their rights regardless of what party they're from."
