Bill Lee<\/a> that he\u2019s in for a &#8220;rude awakening&#8221; regarding his &#8220;fascist&#8221; law banning gender treatments for minors.<\/p>\n<p>While appearing at the 2023 Independent Spirit Awards on Saturday, Union spoke with reporters on Lee signing into law a bill that &#8220;prohibits a healthcare provider from performing on a minor or administering to a minor a medical procedure if the performance or administration of the procedure is for the purpose of enabling a minor to identify with, or live as, a purported identity inconsistent with the minor\u2019s sex.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>According to Union, who co-parents a transgender child with NBA player Dwayne Wade, Lee, among other Republican leaders, will pay for instituting this &#8220;fascist rule.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There is an army that rebukes you, that does not agree with you and that will not lie down while this fascist rule is instituted,&#8221; Union said. &#8220;And that\u2019s just one state. There are several states who were doing the same thing, and they will be met with resistance. People are not going to take this lying down. They\u2019re just not. So if you thought this was going to be a cakewalk, you\u2019re in for a rude awakening.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/media\/trans-man-transitioned-age-11-says-denying-minors-treatment-genocide\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>TRANS MAN WHO TRANSITIONED AT AGE 11 SAYS DENYING MINORS TREATMENT IS \u2018GENOCIDE\u2019<\/strong><\/a><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Both Wade and Union have spoken out in support of their 15-year-old child living as a transgender girl named Zaya. While being awarded at the 54th annual NAACP Image Awards in February, Wade spoke out on behalf of Zaya saying &#8220;As your father, my job isn\u2019t to create a version of myself or direct your future. My role is to be a facilitator to your hopes, wishes and dreams.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He was speaking from the heart and to our child,&#8221; Union commented to Variety. &#8220;Hopefully speaking to our child, other parents will hear us. Even if you screwed up, turn it around. You don\u2019t have to stay committed to your own ignorance and your own fears. Just trying to talk to our child and then having a call to action will hopefully make people a little uncomfortable and remind folks that you cannot barter with any member of the population.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>She continued, &#8220;When you open the door to oppression, they\u2019re not going to stop at the front door, they\u2019re going to be in every nook and cranny of the house. If you think you\u2019re offering up a marginalized group for self-preservation, you didn\u2019t even buy yourself any time because they\u2019re here, we\u2019re here.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/media\/parents-defend-child-transitions-pbs-transgender-before-she-could-even-speak\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>PARENTS DEFEND CHILD TRANSITIONS ON PBS: TRANSGENDER \u2018BEFORE SHE COULD EVEN SPEAK\u2019<\/strong><\/a><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Zaya originally began identifying as transgender in 2020.
