Harris County DA Kim Ogg says she will not prosecute parents who provide medical care to transgender

15. Yes, let's prosecute parents for taking care of their children.

This should go over well. Even Texas Republicans don’t want the government meddling in how they parent. And the Texas child welfare agency has a terrible reputation. A few years ago a Texas judge called it one of the worst in the country, with physical and sexual abuse common. She cited a case of a five-year-old girl repeatedly raped by her caregivers. Many children run away and live on the streets because they have nowhere to go. So, yeah, it’s time for Republicans to target that minority of transgender kids who already are going through difficult transitions. I suppose the idea is to take them away from their parents and place them in evangelical households where their notions of gender differences can be beaten out of them. I hope Beto makes use of this nonsense in his campaign. Texas Republicans want parents to not allow their children to learn actual history, but parents have no say in the physical and mental health of their children.
