Rachel Gonzalez surrounded by her family at the rally at the Capitol (via Twitter)
Equality Texas led a rally for trans kids at the Capitol in Austin this afternoon, Wednesday, April 14 to oppose legislation that will harm them.
Equality Texas CEO Ricardo Martinez talked about the legislation including banning hormone blockers and preventing trans girls from participating in school sports.
“We are going to be here to defeat these bills,” he said. “We will not be marginalized and oppressed anymore.”
Dr. Aliza Norwood is the medical director of Vivent Health, which provides gender-related medical care. Norwood said she has a trans brother. She talked about puberty blockers and said they are completely reversible. A bill she mentioned would punish doctors for providing “evidence-based care” to trans kids. And she described the effect transition had on her brother.
“My brother became happy for the first time in his life,” she said.
Rachel Gonzalez is a Dallas mom with three daughters. Her oldest is transgender.
“This is the third session I’ve had to come to Austin to ask the Legislature to give my children basic human rights,” she said.
Another mom of a trans child said she is accused of making her child transition. She said she can’t get her kids to make their beds and certainly couldn’t force a gender change of them.
The rally took place in the underground House of Representatives office extension and last 30 minutes. After the rally, parents and allies were going to continue testifying against the onslaught of anti-LGBTQ bills. The rally can be viewed on the Equality Texas Facebook page.

Puberty blockers are not completely reversible. They cause bone density damage. They put a child behind its peers physically amd emotionally. Records from gender clinics show that virtually 100% of children put on puberty blockers transition. Yet those same clinics admit that tgey have no idea which children will desist.
Further, research has shown that puberty blockers affect executive decision making. So the purpose of giving children time to decide whether tgey want to transition or not is hijacked and they are no more capable than when they started the blockers.
If boys go on to blockers their penis does not grow. If tgey go on to sex reassignment surgery there is not enough penile material to fashion a “vagina”.
So maybe correct this article.
Y’all are tranny chasers at the Dallas voice
