Awfully suspicious right before the midterms lol. Seems like Republican chicanery. Got two today. Guess when you have nothing else to run on you have to lean into culture war bullshit.

The URL is for the Transgender Education Network of Texas, which seems to be a legitimate organization.

It is. They are not sending them. The strategy is to point back to a legit org and make it seem innocent. The point is just to get folks angry about transgender issues.

Do you have evidence for this? Because the texts are written in a very neutral way and link to the real resources from TENT, so it seems like TENT sent them to do public education

Do you genuinely think theres an lgbtq+ org that is mass texting Texans about ‘bathroom guides for trans children for the school year’, well into the school year?

The website is real, the texts were made to trigger republicans….clearly

🤦🏻‍♂️
