AB957 is still being amended. Prior to amendment a parent not affirming gender identity would fall under child abuse. Here's the clause:

(6)A parent’s affirmation of the child’s gender identity because it is in the best interest of the child to affirm their gender identity.

Good. Not supporting your queer kid is child abuse.

What an absolute lie.

The subsection 6 that you quoted is under the section:

3011. (a) In making a determination of the best interests of the child in a proceeding described in Section 3021, the court shall, among any other factors it finds relevant and consistent with Section 3020, consider all of the following

For example, another subsection is

(3) The nature and amount of contact with both parents, except as provided in Section 3046

This has absolutely nothing to do with falling under child abuse.
