... if they participate in sex transitions for kids. Texas seems to be leading the way on this one.
Texas Republican Governor Greg Abbott this week directed state agencies to conduct “prompt and thorough” investigations into the use of gender-affirming care for transgender children, a move that follows an opinion from the state attorney general that such treatments are a form of “child abuse.”
In a Tuesday letter to the state’s Department of Family and Protective Services, Abbott cited an opinion issued Friday by Republican Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton stating that certain gender-affirming treatments for transgender children — including gender reassignment surgery and puberty-blocking medications — “can legally constitute child abuse under several provisions” of state law.
Abbott wrote that the protective services agency “is responsible for protecting children from abuse,” adding in a tweet Tuesday that the agency will “refer for prosecution any such abuse.”
That snippet, with all of its scare quotes around the words "child abuse," comes from a horrified Boston Globe article. Here's more from that blog post written by Jazz Shaw of Hot Air.
It’s not just the doctors and nurses who perform these procedures who could be in trouble. Abbott reminded everyone that doctors, nurses, and teachers all have an obligation to report child abuse when it is observed or suspected. Failure to do so can come with additional criminal penalties...
We’re talking about children and it has long been established that American society, along with the government, has a responsibility to protect children and ensure their safety. Particularly when we’re talking about prepubescent children, there is simply no way that they have any real idea about how they will view sexuality and gender once they become adults. And their woke parents don’t know that either. Subjecting them to irreversible medical procedures to “affirm their gender” at that age is unforgivable.
Faster, please. Everyone involved in these procedures, from top to bottom, should be doing hard time.
In the past, I've written about a "friend of mine" who is a woman claiming she's a man. She's now been on testosterone treatments for about 18 months. She's exhibiting the secondary sexual characteristics of a man, but with a twist. She's also exhibiting signs of central nervous system distress such as the shakes and mental health problems. That's unsurprising as her endocrine system is in crisis which can't possibly be good for the rest of her body.
She's being slowly poisoned to death right in front of me with the full support of the social justice crew. She's an adult, so there's nothing I can do about it. At the advice of trans social media influencers, she's cut everyone out of her life who won't agree that she's a man. That puts me in an impossible position. All I can do is watch her die and hope she pulls out of it.
Jail is too good for the people who are pushing this, including politicians.
To every trans kid in Texas:
