Breaking: Texas House and Senate votes to ban gender mutilation for minors

This just in: A bipartisan vote to give initial approval to #SB14 gender mutilation ban in the Texas House.

After Delays, Texas House Gives Approval to Ban on Child Gender Mutilation​

"Legislation to end child gender mutilation procedures in Texas received initial approval in the Texas House, marking the first time the House has voted on a measure to ban the practice.

The vote comes after two previous attempts this session to pass the legislation were derailed after Democrats raised objections on procedural grounds to the bill. Speaker Dade Phelan upheld those points of order and twice sent the bill back to committee.

Senate Bill 14 by State Sen. Donna Campbell (R–New Braunfels), would protect children from being chemically castrated by puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones and from receiving mutilative surgeries to “transition” them.

But while the legislation was passed by the Senate in early April, the approval in the House came over month later—and close to the chamber’s May 23 deadline to pass Senate bills.

State Rep. Tom Oliverson (R–Cypress) who sponsored the legislation in the House, fielded hours of debate from Democrats who opposed any restrictions on gender mutilation for children.

“We don’t treat mental health disorders with surgery. We treat mental health disorders with mental health treatments,” said Oliverson when presenting the bill."

[SassyIrishLass]

Well done, Texas

If you had a nut, you'd be one short of a tin.

I can feel your JUST and RIGHTEOUS outrage.
How does it feel to be on the way out?

Dems are going to hate it was bipartisan. Must still be some blue dogs in TX.

He will beat Trump like a rented mule in 2024.

Polls??..you suddenly believe in polls?

oh no mam ! the polls are definitely skewed . so that means Bidens polls are even lower than reported ...much lower .

He'll still beat Trump.
I mean...do you think Ronny can stop feuding with the Mouse long enough to seem like he's competent?
Because right now, that may be your only hope.

sadly nearly 2 more years of decline before the election .

Democrats take back the House from inept Republicans. Biden gets another four years....and Mitch..probably gets one last boner at almost 89 being Senate President...(unless Republicans completely fuck things up).

We..are..so..screwed...

Then it shouldn't be a concern if it's never, ever done.

Although ... in reality, with transgenderism being an ever growing social contagion, gender affirming care continues to grow proportionately (a fancy word including puberty blockers, hormone therapy and surgical procedures) ... genius.

Pulled that string from your back again, I see, to repeat your canned messages, "Just and Righteous outrage!" "There's a snake in my boot!" "Someone poisoned the water hole!"

Sounds reasonable to me, of course, I supported the law signed by Governor Bill Lee.
