Nursing homes can deadname transgender seniors, court rules

LGBTQ rights advocates said Monday that they will seek to challenge an appeals court decision tossing out part of a California law designed to protect older transgender residents in nursing homes.

The 2017 law is intended to protect against discrimination or mistreatment based on residents’ sexual orientation or gender identity.

The Third District Court of Appeal overturned the part of the law barring employees of long-term care facilities from willfully and repeatedly using anything other than residents’ preferred names and pronouns. In doing so, the law banned employees from using the incorrect pronouns for trans residents, also known as misgendering them, or using their legal name, also known as deadnaming them.

That ban violates employees’ rights to free speech, the court ruled Friday.

  1. Good! Bob was born male and named by his loving parents then he went to college and had his brains sucked out and replaced with Liberal logic shit so he couldn’t remember he was a boy and changed genders. BUT he still carried his equipment so he is still a boy not “Bobbie” the girl!

  2. Court is correct.

    You can style yourself as anything you wish, but that doesn’t give you the right to force me or others to address you as Napoleon, Blackbeard, made up pronouns, Duke of Sussex, George formerly Georgia, Georgia formerly George, or any other concoction.
