A Virginia state lawmaker is hoping that the state’s child abuse and neglect definition be expanded<\/a> to include the refusal to affirm their children’s “gender identity”. The Democrat legislator that proposed this bill did so in response to the Youngkin Administration’s guidelines that roll back some LGBT initiatives. For example, students are required to use the bathrooms and participate in sports teams meant for the gender they were born as.<\/p>\n

The move is in response to Republican Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s updated “model policies” on transgender students, which require students to use bathrooms and join sports teams based on their sex at birth, as opposed to their gender identity.<\/p>\n

Democratic Virginia Delegate Elizabeth Guzman told WJLA on Thursday she will introduce a bill that will expand the state’s definition of child abuse and neglect to include parents and guardian who do not affirm their LGBT children.<\/p>\n

“The day that Governor Youngkin wanted to implement this policy, I immediately texted the policy lead of that committee and said, this is how we’re going to push back,” Guzman told the local news outlet.<\/p>\n

“It could be a felony, it could be a misdemeanor, but we know that CPS charge could harm your employment, could harm their education, because nowadays many people do a CPS database search before offering employment.”<\/p>\n

Guzman did not respond to questions from Fox News Digital about the details of her legislation.<\/p>\n

In her interview with WJLA, Guzman did not explain what she meant by affirming LGBT children.<\/p>\n

Youngkin’s embrace of parental rights helped propel him to an upset victory over former democratic Gov. Terry McAuliffe last year.<\/p>\n

The Virginia Department of Education’s new “model policies” that were announced last month argued that the guidelines under the previous administration “disregarded the rights of parents and ignored other legal and constitutional principles that significantly impact how schools educate students, including transgender students.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
