Another of the so called war on trans people
This is why one should do some research, Raud, instead of just swallowing statements.

It's his opinion, see. He's not god who makes the law.

https://www.texasattorneygeneral.gov/opinions/ken-paxton/kp-0401

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton said in an opinion Monday that providing gender-affirming medical care to minors is considered child abuse under state law.

Medical care such as puberty blockers, which temporarily pause puberty, hormone therapy and gender-affirming surgeries “must be halted,” he said in a statement Monday. He added that the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services “has a responsibility to act accordingly.”

“I’ll do everything I can to protect against those who take advantage of and harm young Texans,” Paxton said. He released the opinion in response to an inquiry from state Rep. Matt Krause, a Republican, who asked whether treatments for transgender youth could be considered child abuse.

An opinion from an attorney general is an interpretation of existing law that doesn’t change the law itself.

Your 9year old cannot make the surgery himself, The parent needs to give consent and a doctor needs to perform the procedure

The law is holding anyone who makes that decision, parent, guardian, teacher and doctor part of a criminal conspiracy to mutilate a child

A 9yr old who decides to be a spiderman, cannot do the surgery himself, a Parent/guardian/doctor will have to do that

Minors can say anything or wish all they want, They cant do anything about it until they are of age

Same way a 5yr old might wish to get married but wont be able to until he is of age
There is no such law yet, so fight harder.

Personally I want those who don't take responsibility for their 9yr old becoming superman let their child become superman and see if their child flies. I'm certain we'd all learn from it.

Yes actually.

Unless you live in antidemocratic Afghanistan where you impose your rule, it's Roe v Wade, decided by a majority.

Or is democracy nasty to you?
Buda you are saying nonsense o. serious nonsense. you are arguing that morality is based on democracy wow.

in a state like Afghanistan, one could say it is democracy if the majority of them, the vast majority of them believe it is okay to kill homosexuals. it must be okay, right? that's democracy abi? majority of them believe one thing so it must be right? wow

The AG does not make the law, he only enforces laws made by the state legislation

He only gave his opinion on the bill proposed to the state house to be passed by the state legislation

The govt will not wait for the child to be abused or mutilated before taking action

Its akin to someone starving the child and say lets wait till the child dies before the state takes action

This so called attack on trans people is to ban anyone performing hormone therapy and sex change surgery on a minor

Which sensible person will even want a minor who is still deciding who they want to be make life changing decisions. Life changing decisions like that should only be made when you are an adult who can fully understand the impact

When you see a 9yr old say he feels like becoming spiderman, go and approve surgery to give him wings to start jumping
this will tell you the leftists are highly brainwashed. it is bad for adults to spank their kids, kick their animals, give alcohol to their kids because they are under aged but it's okay to transform them into an abomination.

it's shocking what our Nigerian brothers and sisters are saying here isn't it?

Why will anyone think its okay to perform something like gender surgery on a child? That is really child abuse and the same way the govt will not sit back and watch you flog a child brutally, they shouldnt sit back and watch a child being mutilated

Simply wait till you are 18 if you feel the same way, Go ahead and exercise your right to gender change. Why should that even be contentious but to the left that have embraced insanity you shouldnt be surprised

For the left now in some cities you can walk into a store take what you want and leave cos you wont get prosecuted, you can change the sex of a child, even men can take part in women sport

You quoted a posted by a poster who commented on the war on trans, yet your opinion is the exact thing the Republicans are saying which is called war on trans

I know that most reasonable people will not support boys participating in girls sport since Biologically they are both different and no reasonable person will support a minor making a life decision like transitioning and sex change surgeries

Law and govt are entrusted to make laws governing people, They do not have to be God to make some decisions, They don't have to be God to make and enforce laws mandating children get to a certain age before they can make certain decisions
We'll, you at least asked, and now know my opinion on the subject, which I appreciate because you haven't made things up like some.

I am not "Law and govt" and no one entrusted me "to make laws governing people", Raud, so I can state my position without imposing it on anyone, after all, it's not as if I'm "supporting abortions", but for the right of those who want abortions to have abortions.

As for my own children under my own roof, I buda, should be the law, and the government, and the God, at least as far as my 9 yr old becoming superman is concerned.

I have said it before and will say it again, there is no nonsense most of the folks here on the left will not support. you will wonder if they think this is okay if they can be taken seriously for whatever opinion they have... you will notice that their opinion always follows anything that is trending on the left and the media is pushing. such delusion is sickening... We as humans are regressing thanks to the progressives

Buda is not a lawmaker so can only share his opinion, The people entrusted with making laws are sending the proposal out

While the bold might be okay for reasonable parents, We have had situation where parents have taken unreasonable decisions this is where the law comes in and Child Protective Services take over.

A parent cannot decide to marry out, starve, beat to death, expose to danger his 7yr old under the guise of I am the law and order for my child

The current law does not say anything about it, Just like you dont need a current law to explicitly say "You can flog a child to death" before you propose a law that "You cannot flog a child to death"

Or better put, You cannot transition a minor law is because the law is silent on it and anyone can do it without breaking any set law. Going forward now, There will be a law against it

When there is no law, there is no crime

Raud, as far as I can tell, transitioning of a minor, including drug therapy is not legal anywhere.

---Report: Mark Meadows may have committed voter fraud---


Mark Meadows, the White House chief of staff who helped former President Donald J. Trump spread false claims of voter fraud in an attempt to overturn the results of the 2020 election, is facing questions about his own voting record, following a report that he registered to vote from a North Carolina mobile home where he did not live.

There’s no indication that Mr. Meadows, a former congressman from North Carolina, ever resided — or even spent the night — at the rural mountain home, according to The New Yorker, which first reported on the residence that Mr. Meadows listed on his 2020 voter registration.

CHICAGO - A small but growing number of teens and even younger children who think they were born the wrong sex are getting support from parents and from doctors who give them sex-changing treatments, according to reports in the medical journal Pediatrics.


His report details a fourfold increase in patients at the Boston hospital. His Gender Management Service clinic, which opened at the hospital in 2007, averages about 19 patients each year, compared with about four per year treated for gender issues at the hospital in the late 1990s.

The report details 97 girls and boys treated between 1998 and 2010; the youngest was 4 years old. Kids that young and their families get psychological counseling and are monitored until the first signs of puberty emerge, usually around age 11 or 12. Then children are given puberty-blocking drugs, in monthly $1,000 injections or implants imbedded in the arm.

In another Pediatrics report, a Texas doctor says he's also provided sex-changing treatment to an increasing number of children; so has a clinic at Children's Hospital Los Angeles where the 8-year-old is a patient.

In other words, according to Budaatum, as long as a child is still in its mother's womb, it is nothing. It is nothing more than a fingernail which can be cut off during manicure, a eyebrow to be shaved off even if it has a developing brain, heart, mouth and limbs which makes it a distinct human.

The prosecution has noted your testimony now. And after all the back-and-forths, here's the judgement being passed:


Budaatum, your head is not correct! You are hereby sentenced to 20 years with 3,000 therapy sessions with 419 psychiatrists.

You missed the LGBTQ part.You only talked about the trans bill part and I don't have time on my hands to go back and forth with you.Budaatum had time to but it seems he forgot the "don't say bill" part.

Explain to us the "Don't say gay bill" and the GQP's attempt to ban books they don't like.

I find it odd that a party of limited government and liberty/so called freedoms is very obsessed with policing people's lives.
Imagine a party and believer of state rights one clown of a woman is proposing criminalising out of state abortions like as if such legislation does not hamper the territorial sovereignty of other states lol.
The GQP has lost its way.

The sad part about these alarming bills that will be hard to enforce is that it will only turn citizens against one another and it is thanks to the poison 4 years of Trump did to America.

What some of these children need is help/therapy not attacking them and criminalising things that may cause them to commit suicide that is not how you solve something that you see as an issue.

These kids may end up going suicidal and it doesn't really change anything just taunt them.

You mentioned that the GOP was attacking trans and which way are they attacking trans?

By telling male not to participate in female sport? or by criminalizing all transitioning for all minor?

If the GOP has lost its way by protecting minors from mutilation, its the Liberals that have found their calling in approving sex change for minors, having boys play girls sport and decriminalizing crime?
