Californians will soon elect a new governor. Voters might ask candidates where they stand on the use of taxpayer dollars to fund “sex-reassignment surgery” for gender dysphoria among illegal aliens and homeless people.

The state has already been funding such surgeries for convicted felons, for several years.

In 2017, convicted murderer Rodney Quine received “sex-reassignment” surgeryfunded by California taxpayers, the first such case in the nation.

According to Christopher Rufo of the Manhattan Institute and Jonathan Choe of the Discovery Institute, those procedures now continue on a wider scale, in thestate’s program for the homeless.

Last month, Rufo and Choe checked out a tip that California had opened its homeless shelters to “illegal aliens,” but there was more to it.

As the authorsdiscovered, the shelters were housing “a population of male-to-female ‘transgender’ illegal aliens, who had hoped to obtain ‘gender-affirming care.’ To their shock, “state and local governments apparently are providing it.”

Rufo and Choe visited St. Vincent De Paul’s MSC-South, San Francisco’s largest homeless shelter. There they met a Honduran named “Lyca,” who admitted that he had entered the country illegally.

He also said that he had Medi-Cal, the state health care program Governor Gavin Newsom has directed to provide “full scope” coverage to persons illegally present in the United States. Under Medi-Cal, the Honduran was receiving “cross-sex hormone therapy.”

At the city-funded Embarcadero SAFE Navigation Center, in San Francisco, a Mexican immigrant named “Jacqueline,” who claimed to be a lawful U.S. resident, told the authors that Medi-Cal had paid for his breast implants. He was currently awaiting “bottom surgery,” which involves “castrating a male and turning his penile tissue into a ‘neo-vagina.’”

As taxpayers should know, such procedures, though promoted by government officials as medically necessary, safe and effective, are not onlyirreversible, but can lead to serious health problems.
