That's idiotic.

Basically trying to say that because we can't limit the govt from taking our kids we might as well hand them our kids.

You are opposed to a federal law that says that children cannot be taken from their parents if the parents do not agree to a gender transition?

I fail to see why.

In current times, creating new laws is never the answer. They trigger people to "beg" for laws and then slip in what they really want.

Creating a law to allow federal govt to overrule states laws should be watched very close.

Our rights should already cover our children anyways and their new law should be overruled by Supreme Court without additional laws being passed.

I think that is a pretty naive position. What would be the constitutional basis by which you would toss out this law?

I would agree that you need to be suspicious of anyone in the federal government. But I fail to see issue with a federal law that specifically says "No government agency may seek to remove children from their parents for the reason of the parents not accepting a child's gender identity which is not congruent with their biological sex" could be abused.

If you have any examples or ideas of why such a law would be a bad idea I am happy to discuss that.

Naive? And you're the one trusting that they have the capacity to write a simple, accurately targeted law?
