Opinion | The Texas GOP attack on trans kids reaches a horrifying new level
The "pro-family" party wants to investigate and maybe even prosecute families that give their trans kids love and support.

1. And it'll continue to get worse.. and worse... Until people push and fight back

This is what happens when you give bigots and Nazis an inch on anything. They take a mile... Another mile.. Then reach for a light year. "But muh sprots!" "But muh restrooms!" "But muh Chappelle specials!" Thinking they've "won" on those fronts, now they're going directly after trans teens and trying to break up families.

Mr. Waldman, I hope you were being sarcastic calling them the "pro-family" party. Because they are not. And never have been. They were terrorizing gay families for many years before this. But now they've moved on from LGB's (for now) and are punching down hard on the T's. And they'll punch some more. And punch some more until they get punched back.

These fuckers live for this. They live to inflict pain. The more vulnerable, therefore the easier to hurt, the better. The goal is to destroy the lives of trans people (even "the children!" we're all supposed to think about) and tear apart families. And you dare support trans people? Misery for you too!

My advice to the parents of trans kids in Texas: GET OUT. ASAP. Until you do, be prepared to lawyer up (ACLU, Lambda, both). And these jackboots demanding medical records? Re-fucking-fuse unless they present a legal order. And then, lawyer the fuck up! Push the fuck back, and push back hard.

This is America, not Nazi Germany. Fuck Texas Nazis. And I refuse to say "Heil Abbott" or "Heil Paxton".

2. Exactly

They are only getting worse and worse and won’t stop until they get real push back.

3. The time to push back is now...

Before they manage to reach a low lower than this.
