The legislation, HF146, was authored by State Rep. Leigh Finke, a Democrat who represents part of St. Paul. The bill “would make Minnesota into a trans refuge state by protecting trans people, their families and medical practitioners from the legal repercussions of traveling to Minnesota to receive gender affirming care,” Finke stated.
“This is the first committee hearing in the history of our state legislature that will hear a bill designed to protect trans and gender-expansive people in Minnesota,” Finke also remarked.
Finke is a man who identifies as a woman. His campaign website reads “As a trans woman, I’m worried about the organized national campaign to hurt trans kids.” His site goes on to say, “I’m committed to expanding protections for trans, queer and LGBTQ people of all ages.”
[Good Lord. Voters in Minnesota may be surprised to suddenly become a sanctuary state for mutilation of minors. Or maybe they won’t be *surprised*, but I’d bet more would be horrified by it than Minnesota Democrats think. — Ed]
