In addition, Gov. Greg Abbott, in his recent State of the State Address, threatened to fire any teacher that supports social transition of their students, and he has begun to deliver on that promise, investigating a school in Houston for supporting social transition.
At the same time, the Trump administration is trying to remove trans people from the miliary, censor classroom discussion about LGBTQ issues and impose a narrow definition of gender that seems intended to erase trans people from public life completely.
