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.

For all the R’s in the west and rural areas, the ones that are pissed about data centers, border walls on their land, having their labor deported- these people that had decided not to vote at all- this is the ONE issue that R operatives think will get them to the polls. That’s the whole bet. The Republican party operatives are going all in on anti Trans to get people to the polls to once again vote against their best interests.

And it’ll probably work, because that’s how unpopular some trans causes are.

You mean how bigoted most people are against trans folks. Seriously, would you phrase it this way talking about a different minority group?

What other minority groups have declared controversial medical treatments for children a human right that must be supported at all costs and funded by taxpayers?

Or it’s none of your business. Don’t Texans love freedom?

Yes, that’s exactly why many people object to having schools and CPS step into private homes to manage this subject.
