The legislation is named after “Sage,” a 14-year-old girl who was reportedly sex trafficked twice and sexually assaulted after the state removed her from her parents’ custody to protect her from “misgendering,” a term used to describe referring to someone by pronouns that do not align with their gender identity. Sage reportedly identified as a boy and her school and the state believed that her transgender identity would not be affirmed under her parents’ care.
According to Fox News, Sage ran away from home in rural Virginia in August 2021 and was found in Baltimore, where she was reportedly rescued from a sex offender. Maryland officials did not return Sage to her family over allegations they “misgendered” her transgender gender identity. After being held in state institutions, Sage ran away to Texas and was sex trafficked a second time. Texas officials saved Sage and returned her home.
parents are told to accept it when a child says he or she is misgendered. don't discuss, don't reason, just accept it.
