At least 15 state legislatures are already considering bills to protect vulnerable children from gender modification procedures and treatments. In Texas, HB 1399 by Rep. Matt Krause seeks to protect children from the often-irreversible effects of these harmful procedures. The bill has strong support, including by Rep. Steve Toth - who has been a vocal leader in Texas on this issue.
HB 1399 will be heard in the House Public Health Committee on Wednesday, April 14. Please encourage your Texas House member to support HB 1399.
As the LGBTQ movement has increasingly sought to indoctrinate children through radical sex education, efforts to interfere with the development of children has also increased. This is accomplished by having healthy body parts removed from children and providing them with irreversible puberty-blocking drugs in an attempt to affirm a “gender identity” that rejects bodily reality. This is profoundly unethical.
Minors are prohibited from purchasing paint, cigarettes, alcohol, or even getting a tattoo. Minors possess underdeveloped mental capabilities to make certain decisions on their own. We cannot allow minors to make life-altering decisions on body mutilating procedures and irreversible hormonal treatments. They need to be protected from the dangerous and permanent consequences of their confusion. We need our supporters to be prepared to testify at the Texas Capitol on Wednesday! Our team will provide you all the support that you need, including talking points and step-by-step instructions. Please immediately contact us at [email protected] if you are interested or able to attend the hearing to testify.
