From badcattitude:

but if we are to start trying to make a case that “a pre or early pubescent human should be allowed full agency to make lifelong and irreversible choices about gender and that the state should help them and/or that parents should have little or no say (or perhaps even knowledge) then we have veered into some pretty complex waters and i think anyone making such a claim should first have to stand up to significant scrutiny.

And from a link in u/BerryBoy1969's comment:

The California State Assembly passed a bill Friday that would require judges in child custody cases to consider whether a parent has affirmed a child’s “gender transition” by making “gender affirmation” an equal part of a child’s “health, safety, and welfare” under state law.

“Gender affirmation” isn’t defined or explained in AB 957 or any other California law, drawing concerns over interpretation.

Susannah Luthi, who covers California for The Washington Free Beacon, pointed out: “The bill makes no distinctions regarding the age of a child, how long a child has identified as transgender, or affirmation of social transition versus medical sex-change treatments.”
