Parents of transgender children in Texas are reeling after Governor Greg Abbott issued a directive telling "licensed professionals" and "members of the general public" to report parents of transgender minors to authorities if it appears those children are receiving gender-affirming medical care.

The directive, which is not a law, was sent to the state's Department of Family and Protective Services this week, calling on the agency to investigate any reports of minors receiving gender-affirming care. On Monday, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton released an opinion that said allowing children to receive care like puberty blockers, hormone therapy and surgery is child abuse.

thus involves situations where people are giving hormones or gender changing treatment to children, right?

i don’t let my kids pick the dinner menu regularly, because i don’t want to eat snickers bars for dinner. i ain’t letting them decide to mutilate themselves.

kids can’t make these decisions, they’re not equipped. not even close. that’s why they need parents.

looks like there’s no consensus on whether or not the effects of these treatments are reversible. i’d outlaw it in the case of children.

i want every single kid to be ecstatically happy and confident and secure. im skeptical that allowing little kids decide to do this to themselves, is a good idea. it sounds bonkers to me. adults can do whatever they want.

if it appears those children are receiving gender-affirming medical care.

So you support citizens reporting parents based on if they think or it appears ?

Jim this is just like CRT or FLA don’t say gay bill

It’s not happening in schools and trans parents aren’t abusing their children ! It’s just in the imagination of law makers and their uninformed voters .

But guess what

Conversion Therapy’ Aimed at Gay People Remains Legal in Texas

Funny how that works

hard to believe we’re debating that issue, hard to believe there are two sides.

gotta like our chances in the Olympics in the future....China and Russia tried to send teams of women bulked up on drugs to be like men...we can just send teams of biological men who decide they are women....if we can just get kids to start understanding at kindergarten or so that there really aren't any genders...or possibly a million...they can grow up to compete in whatever they feel like at the time....they could grow up to be "man of the year" and "woman of the year "...all in the same year potentially....progress
