Texas Taxpayers to Fund "Support and Referral" for Child Gender Mods

 


 

Taxpayers to Fund "Support and Referral" for Child Gender Mods

By James Scott Trimm

Texas State Representatives like RINO Stephanie Klick will be taking a victory lap as this session closes, pretending to have protected children from Child Gender Modification.  In fact there was a bill (HB41) that would have criminalized the procedures as child abuse, yet RINO Stephanie Klick. who chairs the committee that oversees such bills,  killed that bill, never even giving it a hearing.  Instead she spearheaded thru a watered down bill that did not actually criminalize these procedures, nor did it define them as child abuse.  In fact, while this bill punishes doctors, it has no penalty at all for parents who give their children blockers that they obtain from out of state.  Even this was a bill which Klick blocked last session, and only passed thru this session because she paid a high political price in the last primary, being forced into a run off with Conservative champion David Lowe, over he blocking of these bills.

In fact this new bill only regulates and does not criminalize the practice of Gender modification in Texas.  Fox News has reported that Texas Children's Hospital, which has a so-called "gender affirming care" program, has announced that it will now simply "modify" its "gender-affirming care to comply with the new law," while it "remain dedicated and to educating and amplifying the importance of safe, high-quality transgender medicine programs." They say they will "continue to offer psychological support and any form of care within the bounds of the law" and will refer families to alternatives out of state for hormone blockers and surgeries.

Stephanie Klick, who referred to these procedures as "a type of care" in a debate in her last campaign, with her opponent David Lowe, voted with other Texas Lawmakers, to use your taxpayer dollars to pay for this "support and referral" program.

Conservative champion Tony Tinderholt proposed an amendment to House Bill 1898 which would have deprived funding a children's hospital to be used "to provide mental health services affirming the child's perception of the child's sex if that perception is inconsistent with the child's biological sex."  


 

Stephanie Klick voted "nay" to this amendment, meaning that she voted for your tax dollars to be used to counsel children to "affirm" to a child that their sex is other than their true biological gender! 


Stephanie Klick has continually shown her true colors in supporting this reprehensible practice of grooming little boys for castration and little girls for mutilation and sterilization! - James Scott Trimm
