This is just my personal opinion: Raise your kids as the gender according to how they were born…
Ex: Mom births a boy- raise him as a male
Mom births a girl- raise her as a female

*Now if they choose to live different than how they were naturally born, so be it… At least you’ve done your part

The fact that they are actually taking what their children say seriously is scary. As a parent you should always support your child and what they tell you but this is a whole different ball game.

This is sick, I remember the old days when kids be kids not they feel like a boy or girl. Everybody don't need to be parents .

[johnlp]

Well I guess if a child knows if it wants to be a boy or a girl we dont need age limits on drinking, tattoos etc. Its a child a lot of times children react to the environment they are raised in just my 2 cents.

You want to publicly promote stupidity, they have every right to investigate.

[MotherEarth]

Leave my children alone, now they have transgender puberty lesson in my 9 yr old class!! Unacceptable

How about you wait for the kid to become an adult before they make life changing decisions.

Texas is on the right side of American, World, and Biological History.

Honestly good on texas for protecting children from being indoctrinated these the type of people to have a trans 5 year old no child or teen can make that type of decision

[williamtell]

im always reminded why i dont live in Texas. what a nasty state.

[bridgettc]

anyone who has circumcised their male child for purely religious reasons should be investigated for child abuse, and every doctor who has performed a circumcision on an baby who has no ability to even choose circumcision yet should be also thrown in jail?

[larryrobinson]

Texas has gone way way around the bend

If Lebron James played in the WNBA he’d score 298 points per game..

About Parents who promote this to children should not be allowed to have children. And need to have the children removed from custody by any means IT IS CHILD ABUSE.

[catsandalcohol]

If a child was able to make the decision to be put on medication to transition at 12-16 then I should have legally been allowed to get blackout drunk at 14 because I know what's good for me at 12-16.

[spitfireamy]

If your born a male be a male if your born a girl be a girl LOVE WHO YOU ARE!!!

[peterjimenez]

I feel like the parents are doing this to them way to young

[thinkingoutloud]

This world is backwards. Embarrassing.

[RedRebelPen]

I identify as a superhero when I was a child but my parents didn't allow OR HELP me jump off of buildings.

[itsgoodie]

This is child abuse and those “parents" should be ashamed of themselves!
