Texas Making a List

[donquixote99]

The state that's been in the forefront of terrorizing trans families was recently trying to make a list of trans adults, based on drivers license changes. The Texas Attorney General's Office sought the license data from the Texas DPS (Department of Public Safety.) Attorney General's office trying to stonewall to reporters, but the DPS personnel have provided evidence to the Washington post.

The obvious inference is that the office that tried to classify parents of trans children as child abusers will now seek to criminalize and persecute trans adults. They could wind up doxed, outed, and exposed to abuse, with their driver's licenses 'corrected.' New laws might see them arrested for dressing wrong or using the wrong restroom.

Having the benefit of working with many who happened to born in this category. Airlines being the industry where it is a common occurrence.

I can tell you my evolution from ignorant to enlighten of the issues.

This by Texas all based on unfounded fear and ignorance. Forgot hate too!

The ugly Texan Redneck mentality...

1. People are prone to hate 'out-group' people that they are cued to hate. The jump from 'those people are not people like us' to 'those people are loathsome dangerous enemies' is a rather small jump.

2. Some are more prone than others, and the culture can encourage this, or teach that the others aren't really so 'other.' Some people are more open to teaching than others.

Texas and Florida seem to be in a fierce competition for being the craziest MAGA loons in the land.
