The Lone Star state is at the forefront of the fight against gender ideology. And it is no wonder why. Texas is a bastion of conservative and traditional values — the values upon which our nation was founded. Resultantly, Texas upholds the integrity of God’s creation, and she seeks to protect that creation at all costs.

That principle extends to the use of reconstructive surgeries and puberty blockers in children. But Texas’ hardline stance against gender ideology is not proof that she hates those who struggle with a discontinuity in their mental state and their biological appearance.

She loves them and wishes them the best — both spiritually and physically. But it is not right to promote an inherently divisive ideology in the school system, or as we shall see today, in the medical industry.
