Greg Abbott Says He'll Soon Unveil Plan to Restrict Transition-Related Medical Care for Transgender

Greg Abbott Says He’ll Soon Unveil Plan to Restrict Transition-Related Medical Care for Transgender Children


Gov. Greg Abbott said Monday he was preparing to take action to restrict transition-related medical care for transgender minors in Texas after legislation to do so failed during the regular session.

“I have another way of achieving the exact same thing, and it’s about a finished product as we speak right now and may be announced as soon as this week,” Abbott said during a radio interview. He did not provide further details.

Abbott’s comments came as the interviewer, Mark Davis, asked Abbott why he did not add the issue to his agenda for the special session that began earlier this month. Abbott blamed the lower chamber, saying the “chances of that passing during the session in the House of Representatives was nil.”

During the regular session, the Senate passed a bill to outlaw transgender youth health care treatments, but a similar proposal in the House fell victim to a bill-killing deadline late in the session. The bill would have banned hormone therapy, puberty suppressant treatments and transition-related surgeries for children, which are rarely used before puberty.

only a fascist aligned curriculum and allow the proselytizers to bus your kids to christian events without permission.

If you can't kill public schools, turn them into christian indoctrination centers.

The ignorant, gullible and superstitious are easier to control and exploit.
