Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller appeared on the Friday edition of Fox News’ “Tucker Carlson Tonight” to discuss the current efforts of Republican legislators to stall H.B. 1399, a bill that would ban the use of chemical castration, genital mutilation, and other gender transition-related procedures in Texas.
“Not a lot of Republican voters are in favor of [child castration], not a lot of Democratic voters, not a lot of sane people are for mutilating children, but some Republican are holding up on the ban on it, why?” Tucker Carlson asked.
“I can’t believe this, in Texas, really? We’re gonna let our children be mutilated?” Miller said. “Tucker, we don’t let our minors smoke cigarettes, we don’t let ’em drink alcohol, we don’t let ’em engage in sexual activity, you can’t even get a driver’s license if you’re sixteen. But we will let em be mutilated, mastectomies, castration, gene hormone therapy – this gender modification has got to stop. It’s just cowboy logic.”
Miller added, “I wish our governor, Greg Abbott, would use some of his political powers and political capital to get this [bill] moving, we’d get it passed, we’ve only got six days. Six days, if this bill doesn’t pass, it’s dead for two years, before the legislature can come back. And I’m fed up with it, it’s embarrassing for our state, some of these children have this done to them as young as two years old, can you believe that? It’s disgusting.”

Not being from Texas, I don’t understand the reference to ‘Cowboy logic’ but I do agree it should not take a genius to understand that a two-year-old is not equipped to make permanent life altering decisions.
In reality, most sixteen-year-olds are not really equipped to make permanent life altering decisions. For proof I will give you the high rate of suicide amongst people of that age.
I think that it is a medical ethics violation for any doctor to prescribe puberty blockers for the purpose of sexual reassignment. I also think that a parent permitting sexual reassignment of a child in their care to be a moral failure.
As Christian I believe that anyone participating in sexual reassignment on any level to be committing a grave sin.
This man was most impressive. (Nice looking, too. :)
In five years you’ll be called a bigot by republicans if you don’t support mutilating children.
I’m from Texas and I have no idea what “Cowboy Logic” is.
Cowboy logic = common sense
Not; I'm a Texan.
Not born here. . .got here as fast as I could.
I’m a Texan = Born there
I’m from Texas = moved here (age 2).
The Covid vax wasn’t approved for use by minors but kids are being given puberty blockers for lifestyle CHOICES.
“Cowboy Up”
Originally? Because I cannot imagine not knowing what that is. It’s obvious on it’s face such that even someone from somewhere else could get it.
You know who else wasn’t born in Texas? Stephen F. Austin, Jim Bowie, Sam Houston, Jack “Coffee” Hayes, Davey Crockett, and Jerry Jeff Walker.
If you are standing on Texas and refuse to be pushed out, you ARE Texan and don’t let anyone tell you any different. (Because then you would be getting pushed around)
William Travis is another.

Not changing the sex of children is racist.
Your Point?
GOD only made XY and XX, anything else is just a screwup or DERANGED PEOPLE!
This is all going to wear off once the attention for his transgenerdism ceases to gain him attention. He's got major issues no doubt. From what I can tell one day this kid will hit the wall and likely be suicidal then.
Because people should be able to pick the gender of their child, just like choosing what color sneakers they want.
/sarcasm off
It's what would be called "country wisdom" or "common sense" in other parts of the country. What decent people do because life is long, and new things don't always pan out as well as tried-and-true ways.
