Goo Job, Texas. It’s working as planned:
A new lawsuit filed Wednesday is challenging Gov. Greg Abbott’s directive to investigate parents who provide gender-affirming care to their transgender children. The lawsuit was filed by the American Civil Liberties Union and Lambda Legal on behalf of three families, including the Briggle family, who have long been advocates for trans rights, including hosting Republican Attorney General Ken Paxton for dinner with their transgender son…
…According to the lawsuit, a 16-year-old transgender boy tried to kill himself the same day that Abbott issued the child abuse directive.
“[He] said that the political environment, including Abbott’s Letter, and being misgendered at school, led him to take these actions,” the lawsuit said.
He survived the attempt and was admitted to an outpatient psychiatric facility, where staff learned that he was undergoing hormone therapy. A week after he was discharged, an investigator from DFPS visited the family’s home and, according to the lawsuit, said that the psychiatric facility had reported the family for child abuse. The family remains under investigation.
Monsters.

This is straight-up cultural fascism, just like in the Third Reich. These Nazis won’t kill them directly, but they will drive them to take their own lives.

I see the repeated attacks on the most vulnerable minorities by the Republican party and the rabid right, but attacking children is a new low I seen start with Stephen Miller’s border policy of stealing kids from parents / relatives. But I ask myself what has changed in this US, in our country, that this is accepted by the public? I tell myself it wouldn’t have been accepted before to hurt kids, right? Then I remember all the child sexual abuse scandals or the many school mass shootings and realize that the public would rather believe powerful organizations / people rather than face the truth of the harm to our children if it interferes with the adults enjoying themselves while doing what they want to do in anyway. Today I wonder about the future of our country if this is how we treat the children, teaching them to attack and harm the minorities among them. Hugs

Ever since ‘Wheels’ lost the use of his legs due to an unforeseen accident by his neighbor ( whom a court found guilty of and had to richly compensate for ), he has been nothing but a vengeful, whiny bitch. Sooner or later that hatred is gonna eat him alive.

No one is being forced to do anything here except by the STATE. This of course means that this is child abuse by the STATE and not by the parents. Where are the laws against that?
