Texas, We Are Better Than This.
This is my reflection on this news:
Texas Governor Pushes to Investigate Medical Treatments for Trans Youth as ‘Child Abuse’
In a letter on Tuesday, Gov. Greg Abbott directed the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services to investigate gender-affirming treatments for transgender adolescents as “child abuse.” (from NY Times 2/23/22)
It’s 2022. Texas, we’re better than this.
In a time when self-care and mental health is more important than ever, for a leader like Greg Abbott to come forward with an “order” on 2/22/22 to criminalize medical treatment for trans youth is at best confusing and at worst deadly.
It is staggering how many people he is willing to hurt to appeal to his ultra-conservative constituents in an election cycle.
I will continue to affirm and love.
A human has the right to seek medical care to allow them live the gender identity outwardly they are internally.
Transgender kids… you are seen. You are believed. You are loved. Please know you are loved.
Texas… it’s your job to voice your love for our kids with your vote. It’s time to remove Abbott from office in November.
Lead with love.
