Colorado State Rep. Brandi Bradley shared a post on X, Sunday, April 6, regarding a last-minute session to “ram” seemingly anti-parent bills through the state legislature.
“The Colorado Legislature has been called into session today—on the LORDS day—to ram through abortion bills and HB25-1312, the most extreme assault on parental rights and religious freedom we’ve ever seen,” Bradley wrote on X. “If it’s a war on families they want… it’s a war they’re gonna get.”
The bill covers things like:
- Defines “misgendering” as child abuse — meaning “parents could lose custody of their kids for using the ‘wrong’ pronouns,” Bradley noted.
- Protects parents who “traffic children into Colorado for irreversible gender surgeries—nullifying other states’ laws and court orders.”
- Forces all state schools to adopt transition policies
- Redefines “misgendering” and “deadnaming” as discrimination
HB25-1312 specifically states that “when making child custody decisions and determining the best interests of a child for purposes of parenting time, a court shall consider deadnaming, misgendering, or threatening to publish material related to an individual’s gender-affirming health-care services as types of coercive control.” The lawmakers define “coercive control” as “means a pattern of threatening, humiliating, or intimidating actions, including assaults or other abuse, that is used to harm, punish, or frighten an individual.” Parents could be found guilty of “coercive control” by simply trying to help their child in ways that the state does not agree with.
