Eric Adams makes New York City a 'sanctuary city' for child sex changes

On Monday, Mayor Eric Adams signed an executive order to make New York a sanctuary city for gender-affirming care.

Executive Order 32 prohibits city resources from being used to detain, prosecute or investigate individuals who "sought, obtained, provided, or facilitated gender-affirming care" in or outside the state of New York. 

In a statement, Adams said, “As states across the nation continue their onslaught of attacks on our LGBTQ+ neighbors, New York City is doing what we have always done — standing up for justice and against discrimination.” 

"This executive order reaffirms the fact that hate has no place in our city and that all people deserve the right to gender-affirming care and protection against prosecution for being who they are," he said. 

The order comes as 20 states have passed laws that ban the use of cross-sex hormones and surgery in minors, with Louisiana being a possible 21st pending a veto by the states Governor John Bel Edwards. 

It also comes at a time when states across the country are becoming sanctuary states for families looking to provide experimental treatment to their children. The state of Minnesota goes as far as to ignore the judgments of custody cases from other states if custody is terminated because one parent seeks out a sex change for their child. California has enacted law to do that as well.

Those who enact these sanctuary policies cite that "gender-affirming care" is scientifically proven to be in the best interest of the child. However, countries such as Sweden, Finland, England, and Norway have reversed course on the practice after finding the supportive studies to be of poor quality. 

Recently Jordan Peterson said, "The phrase 'gender-affirming' care is a criminally evil lie." As proponents of its practice claim that the term means that they are simply getting treatment for their gender confusion, they ignore that the medicalization leaves kids sterilized. Elon Musk said the term is a euphemism for "castration."
