Greg Abbott, the governor of Texas, compared medical procedures for young transgender people to “child abuse”.

Gov. Greg Abbott told state health agencies in Texas on Tuesday that medical treatments provided to transgender adolescents, widely considered to be the standard of care in medicine, should be classified as “child abuse” under existing state law. His statements, made in a letter to the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, followed an opinion on Friday by Attorney General Ken Paxton that said providing medical treatments like puberty-suppressing drugs and hormones to transgender teenagers should be investigated as child abuse.

[I] do not care that [I] live in a different country [I] will personally fly to [T]exas and beat the ever loving s**t out of him."i will personally beat greg abbot to deathi do not care that i live in a different country i will personally fly to texas and beat the ever loving shit out of himA separate user tweeted, "'Vote out Greg Abbott!' b**ch we need to KILL him."
