It’s not Democrats who have elevated transgender issues to a national obsession. Republicans are the ones who did that by whipping their base into a fury on the issue and convincing them that “elites” are trying to destroy their way of life

Think how utterly depraved this is. Abbott wants to investigate children’s gender identity and strip parents of their children for seeking appropriate medical advice and treatment. Talk about big government. The intrusive power Abbott wants to grant the government is horrifying
Given the risk of mental health problems and suicide that trans youth face, the stunt itself endangers kids. But, of course, Abbott and his ilk don’t think of such things. Or perhaps they don’t care.
Consider how perverse the Republican Party’s mentality is: Parents should be allowed to intervene or even sue schools for teaching about racial history, but if they try to support their children along medically accepted lines, the GOP will try to take their kids away.
The MAGA party has perfected the art of claiming victimhood. Its base pines for a White, Christian country. It has become a party of bullies willing to endanger children. Decent, humane Americans should reject this monstrous brand of politics.
