I feel the same.
Nice to see some rational people go against the leftist lunacy and their abuse of children.

Read the first link in the OP. You know, THE THING WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HERE.
There isn't a law in Texas that forbids giving sex hormones to children to alter their gender appearance. Or performing genital altering surgeries.

That needs to be done.

THEN, if you want to go after parents for breaking that law, then do so.

Paxton can disagree all he wants about whether this is legal in Texas, and everyone knows it ain't so.

psssst . . . this is a political move leading up to the primary election. No one intends to act on this.

Do you think genital mutilation and sterilization of children is a good practice?

Why would anyone think there needs to be a LAW stating that it's bad? It's pretty clear that it is.

Do you not know right from wrong? Why do you need the government to tell you that?

I think I've been abundantly clear on this, all along.

No, I don't think sex altering hormones or surgery is appropriate for children.

However, before you go charging people with crimes, you need to make their behavior illegal.

That's not what Abbott said. According to his letter circulated yesterday, the Attorney General's Office of Texas issued a
statement that any minor's "sex change" procedure constitutes child abuse under existing Texas Law code 261.

This includes reporting requirements - if you know of such child abuse and do not report it, you may be charged with a crime

If you actually read the document you would see that sterilizing and mutiliating children falls under child abuse. Which is a crime.

Or are you for child abuse? Think that's OK?

You are defending it. Whether you admit that or not.

Indeed. NOBODY should even consider any of these radical actions until age 30, minimum. Gender reassignment, God help the society that allows or promotes that, it is so Island of Doctor Moreau. Are we living in Biblical Times?

Otherwise, let's allow children to make grown-up decisions, to drive, to vote, to buy firearms, to join the military, to marry, to fly airliners, and do all the other adult things that are reserved for ADULTS.

You'll notice that every push for children to 'behave like adults' revolves around sex.

Every single push. Nothing else. Just sex.

And the foundation of it is the LGBTQ movement, along with PP for abortion.

This is long over due and should be done in all States. Children are easily coaxed into believing and saying what parents want them to say and believe themselves. Some parents are so desperate for attention they will go that far with their own children.

Leave them alone and let them decide for themselves when they are of legal age.
