The Associated Press has abandoned all pretense of objectivity in its reporting on transgenderism.
My colleague Kaylee McGhee White on May 12, criticized the AP in the course of a superb analysis of the underlying issue of parental rights, but my focus is firmly and only on the AP’s biased reporting.The AP story in question was headlined, quite astonishingly, “Trans minors protected from parents under Washington law.” As if parents are naturally aggressors against their children.
A neutral phraseology, which is what the AP is supposed to provide, would read: “Minors seeking gender-transitioning support will be able to stay in shelters without parents being quickly informed...” “Online, some users have twisted the content of the measure to suggest it will see the state ripping children from their homes. But those claims misrepresented the legislation, which is intended to keep estranged young people housed, according to experts and the lawmaker sponsoring the bill. The bill does not address custody and would not result in the state taking children away from their homes and parents.
The new law changes that. Now it adds the following to compelling reasons, thus equating the following with abuse or neglect: “When a minor is seeking or receiving protected healthcare services. ‘Protected healthcare services’ means gender-affirming care or treatment as defined in [state law] and reproductive healthcare services [abortion].”
Those are the facts. The AP reported some of that language, but without the context that the custody is absolutely changed by replacing the automatic assumption of parental custody with, instead, state custody until the state decides otherwise. And it does so no longer only in the extreme situations of “abuse or neglect,” but now for times when any runaway child says he wants to be known as a different gender but doesn’t want his parents to know.
