I have some questions for Minnesota Governor and Vice Presidential candidate Tim Walz (D), and I hope journalists will start demanding answers from him.

Specifically, does he stand by his 2023 decisions turning Minnesota into a “trans refuge,” especially given the overwhelming evidence that what is euphemistically referred to as “gender-affirming care” harms children?

In April 2023, Walz signed a bill into law giving Minnesota courts the ability to make initial custody determinations in cases where “the presence of a child in [the] state is for the purpose of obtaining gender-affirming health care,” and temporary emergency jurisdiction in cases where a child present in the state “has been unable to obtain gender-affirming health care.” This so-called "gender-affirming care" can include puberty blockers, opposite-sex hormones and other interventions.

So the effect of this law is that Minnesota courts have the power to remove children from their own parents’ custody if the parents (inside or outside of Minnesota) wish to protect their children from harmful hormones or surgeries.........
