AB2442 requires California medical licensing boards to expedite licensure for applicants intending to provide so-called gender-affirming healthcare or mental healthcare, similar to the existing process for abortion providers.

The California State Assembly passed AB2442 on May 13, 2024 by a vote of 62 to 10. We have assigned pluses to the nays because this bill accelerates the implementation of radical-leftist ideologies. By prioritizing the licensure of medical professionals to provide so-called "gender-affirming care," AB2442 furthers indoctrinating society to accept unscientific and immoral beliefs about gender. Scientifically and biblically, there are only two genders, and the idea that individuals can redefine their gender or pronouns undermines biological reality and moral principles. This bill exemplifies the Marxist and woke agenda to erode traditional values and impose harmful ideologies on society.
