Episode notes
Out-of-State Implications
- Minnesota's law allows out-of-state minors to receive gender-affirming care.
- This undermines parental rights in other states, as anyone can take a child to Minnesota for these procedures.
Jurisdictional Conflict
- Minnesota's law grants emergency jurisdiction if a child is denied gender-affirming care.
- This overrides other states' jurisdiction, preventing parents from reclaiming their children.
Definition of Gender-Affirming Care
- The law defines "gender-affirming health care" broadly.
- It includes puberty blockers, hormones, and surgeries, all determined by the child's stated identity.
