Progressives tend to not like this little thing called “state law.” That is why we often see them admittedly oppose legislation to the point that an entire city or state has dubbed itself a “sanctuary” to defy that law. Subsequently, we now have another city declaring itself a trans sanctuary for minors, with emphasis on the part that is dedicated to children.

The Austin City Council passed a resolution that would de facto stop the enforcement of SB 14, which essentially bans gender-affirming care for minors.

According to the National Review:

Texas attorney general Ken Paxton is threatening to hold the city of Austin’s leaders accountable for openly defying the state’s law prohibiting health-care providers from performing irreversible transgender medical procedures on children.

The Austin City Council voted overwhelmingly on Thursday to pass a resolution offering protections for minors who identify as transgender and instructing police not to prioritize enforcement of SB 14, a law signed by Republican governor Greg Abbott last year banning hormonal and surgical interventions meant to facilitate a minor’s gender transition.

“If the City of Austin refuses to follow the law and protect children, my office will consider every possible response to ensure compliance,” Paxton, a Republican, said upon the resolution’s passage. “Texas municipalities do not have the authority to pick and choose which state laws they will or will not abide by. The people of Texas have spoken, and Austin City Council must listen.”

What is so reprehensible is not so much that the city is intentionally disregarding state law (although that is infuriating on its own), it’s that they are pushing to have minors make irreversible decisions before they even know what it’s like to live as their gender.

Since Austin wants to be a so-called “sanctuary city,” would that also apply to detransitoners? Or are those individuals going to be thrown under the bus when they regret blocking puberty before they have even taken algebra?

It's unclear why it is exactly that the left wants to so badly advocate for children to make irreversible, lifelong decisions that will arguably, cause them to suffer. But they are doing so before these kids can even advocate for themselves and it's unclear what the Austin City Council will say when they realize that it pushed this on the people they are tasked with protecting the most.

Fortunately, Austin is still located in the great state of Texas and all this is likely nothing more than a pathetic attempt to virtue signal their deranged ideology. Nonetheless, this does not make it any less reprehensible and officials should be held accountable when they announce they plan on disregarding state law.
