Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, a member of the Democratic party, has been reported to be the chosen running mate of Vice President Kamala Harris.
During his tenure, policies were implemented in Minnesota that allowed for children to undergo gender-affirming medical procedures.
The Associated Press (AP) reported on March 23, 2023, “Democratic Gov. Tim Walz signed an executive order two weeks ago to protect the rights of people from Minnesota and other states to receive gender-affirming health care in the state.”
Minnesota legislators approved a bill designating their state as a “trans refuge” for minors seeking gender-affirming surgery, as per Fox News on March 25, 2023.
The outlet noted:
This legislation is meant to ensure that children undergoing gender transition procedures allowed under Minnesota law cannot be governed by child protection laws of other states. It’s a direct response to neighboring South Dakota, where Republican Gov. Kristi Noem signed a law banning puberty blockers, cross-sex hormone treatments and sex-change operations for transgender individuals under the age of 18.

“The most insidious aspect of this bill is the language that adds children who are being denied ‘gender-affirming care’ (defined as everything from therapy to hormone blockers, to transition surgery) to what amounts to the definition for a child ‘in need of protection or services’ in Minnesota, allowing the courts to take ‘emergency custody’ of the child,” said Bob Roby, a licensed attorney in Minnesota with more than 30 years experience in family and juvenile court.
On Monday, the X account “Expose Them” posted on social media, sharing a video and claiming that Walz had invited families who are supporting their children in gender transition to attend the signing of the executive order in 2023.
“He’s incredibly evil, which makes him a perfect fit for Kamala’s VP,” the account said in the caption of the video:

In March 2023, KARE 11’s coverage of Walz’s executive order brought attention to other states that had taken measures against what the news outlet characterized as “gender-affirming care.”
