... District Judge Amy Clark Meachum issued a temporary injunction preventing the state from enforcing Republican Gov. Greg Abbott’s directive to compel the Department of Family and Protective Services to investigate.
The injunction broadens Meachum’s earlier order blocking the state’s investigation of the parents of one transgender teenager. The American Civil Liberties Union and Lambda Legal sued on behalf of the parents of the 16-year-old girl over the investigation and Abbott’s directive. Meachum scheduled a trial for July 11 on the challenge to Abbott’s directive....
Meachum’s ruling came the same day that dozens of major companies — including Apple, Google, Johnson & Johnson, Meta and Microsoft — criticized the Texas directive in a full-page ad in the Dallas Morning News.
“The recent attempt to criminalize a parent for helping their transgender child access medically necessary, age-appropriate healthcare in the state of Texas goes against the values of our companies,” read the ad, which used the headline “DISCRIMINATION IS BAD FOR BUSINESS.”
... The American Civil Liberties Union and Lambda Legal sued on behalf of the parents.
Megan Mooney, a clinical psychologist also represented by the groups in the lawsuit, said the governor’s directive has caused “outright panic” among mental health professionals and families of transgender youth.
“Parents are terrified that (child protective services) is going to come and question their children, or take them away,” Mooney testified. “Mental health professionals are scared that we’re either violating our standards and professional codes of conduct, or in violation of the law.”
The governor’s directive and Paxton’s opinion go against the nation’s largest medical groups, including the American Medical Association, which have opposed Republican-backed restrictions on transgender people filed in statehouses nationwide.

I thought the other day that anytime one of these GQP nutjobs makes public statements there should be a disclaimer like on movies and tv shows that says "any similarity to actual facts, past or present, or actual events, is purely coincidental."

I like it.

Not just him, it's a RWNJ meme. His constituents should deem him too stupid to reelect, but they probably won't.
Yeah, that guy is a real prize and lucky to be the beneficiary of stupid citizens. He reminds me of that Kent Calfee state legislator here in TN that I sent hate mail to for a steady two weeks. Never heard a peep from him in spite of the neo stuff I whipped out on him or confronted him with. He's the guy who was guzzling from what appeared to be Hershey's chocolate syrup while at "work" in Nashville. I may have to check in with him again.

Awww. , Useless. So much for "Ignored". You fail again. Plus, Useless, you've been busted too many times for anyone to believe you're not reading my posts, anyhow. It's just your excuse for cowering. Awww.
