"What's happened is that there are a number of states that have recognized that these medical interventions are incredibly harmful," says Erin Brewer, co-founder of Advocates Protecting Children. But, she added, California has decided to "open its doors to people who want to access these medical interventions, even though their states have found them to be incredibly dangerous and worth blocking."

If passed, California's "trans refuge" bill would allow young people from other states to visit California to receive sex hormones, puberty blockers, and sex-reassignment surgeries.  

"What's happened is that there are a number of states that have recognized that these medical interventions are incredibly harmful," says Erin Brewer, co-founder of Advocates Protecting Children.  But, she added, California has decided to "open its doors to people who want to access these medical interventions, even though their states have found them to be incredibly dangerous and worth blocking."

Brewer is no stranger to the complexities of gender dysphoria, having herself once thought she was a boy as a child after surviving sexual assault.

Today, Brewer says she is thankful she did not take medication or have surgeries to alter her body, and hopes more can be done to provide young people struggling with gender dysphoria counseling and other help they need.
