he came to Old Towne Spring to see the renovated bathroom in Wunsche Bros Cafe & Saloon. It's one big bathroom of separate stalls with long saloon doors labeled gents or ladies, and one long old wash sink in the middle. i think it's awesome. Evil old dudes got to go.

This is getting ridiculous, and there is no sign of these people stopping. These fuckers have made it their goal to inflict as much pain as they can upon the trans community, and I'm fucking sick of it!

Meanwhile, I am wondering if I have legal grounds to sue Paxton and Abbott for infliction of emotional distress... Because I don't even live in Texbekistan and this is causing me plenty of emotional distress. I imagine I am not the only one.

Fuck you, Paxton. Seriously. Fuck! You! Fuck your bigotry, fuck your cruelty, fuck your corruption, fuck you! Quit being a Nazi and leave us the fuck alone!

The Biden administration cares about all children and these actions make me smile.

I just hope they're prepared to dig in their heels, because, I don't think these fascists are going to back down unless they take a beating in the courts. Their action everytime they've been told to stop has been to double-down and become even more defiant and evil.

Paxton and Abbott are attacking and threatening trans children for political points



https://www.texastribune.org/2022/03/11/texas-transgender-politics/?utm_campaign=trib-social-buttons&utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social

Greg Abbott and Ken Paxton are turning the law-and-order Republican Party into a gang of bullies, targeting transgender kids — and the parents who support them — with their decision to treat gender-affirming health care as child abuse.

That health care is legal under Texas law, but this is election season. Cynics who think politicians will say anything to get reelected have a new, sparkling piece of evidence......

But most of those aren’t sexy election issues. Paxton is in a runoff. Abbott faces a well-known, well-financed Democrat in November. And as The Texas Tribune’s Patrick Svitek has reported, they think they’ve got a hot item to entice Republican voters.

“This is a winning issue,” Abbott’s top political strategist, Dave Carney, told reporters last week. “Texans have common sense.”....

“How is that considered child abuse to accept them and love them?” one mother told them. “How can they overstep their power and try to come and tell me how I should love my child?”
