SACRAMENTO, Calif. — About 40 people who oppose gender-confirming health care gathered on Friday at the Capitol, while a larger group of counterprotesters marched toward the event.
The marchers, who held pride flags and signs supporting trans youth, gathered in Southside Park and stopped short of the Capitol where the permitted Detransition Awareness Day rally took place.
There were three reports of assault and theft, according to a tweet from the Sacramento Police Department. One person was arrested on suspicion of assault. A police spokesperson would not say whether these incidents were related to people of either protesting group.
