Wisconsin county considers sanctuary status for transgender kids
Fox News
Board supervisors in Dane County, Wisconsin, will consider a resolution this week declaring sanctuary status for transgender and nonbinary individuals, including children.
"In this hostile environment, some cities and counties across the country are taking steps to support and protect trans and nonbinary individuals," the resolution states. "Dane County values its transgender and nonbinary residents and vigorously opposes measures that would allow legal violence toward trans people in accessing gender-affirming care or expression."

The resolution states the county’s position that it’s a "fundamental right" for children to access sex-reassignment drugs and procedures.
