TEXAS: Abbott, Patrick, House Speaker Received $250K+ From Clinic That Chemically Castrates ‘Transgender’ Kids
National File ^ | May 21 | by JACK HADFIELD

Campaign finance records reveal that Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, and House Speaker Dade Phelan received hundreds of thousands of dollars from a PAC for a clinic that offers hormone treatment to allegedly transgender children.

UT Southwestern Medical Center hosts the Gender Education and Care Interdisciplinary Support (GENECIS) program, which is the “first and largest program in the southwest that provides multidisciplinary care to transgender children and adolescents.” While the program does not offer surgery to children, it does offer a number of so-called “treatments” that may amount to chemical castration, including hormone therapy, menstruation suppression, and puberty suppression.

“Our team has impacted thousands of youth across the country and is a vital resource for patients, families and communities,” their website reads. “We support youth of all gender expressions and identities, and provide evidence-based, gender-affirming care in a supportive and safe environment,” it continues, claiming that “gender identity is unique for every child and may be different from the sex assigned to them at birth.”

Campaign finance records show that the Friends of UT Southwestern Center, also known as FOMCPAC, handed out well over $250,000 in total to a number of top Texas politicians who were recently involved in shutting down multiple pieces of legislation that would have prevented hormone treatment and surgery from being provided to supposed transgender children in the state.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott, who National File has been told led the charges against the bills designed to protect children, received $85,000 from the transgender clinic PAC since 2015. His Lieutenant Governor, Dan Patrick, received the lion’s share from FOMCPAC however, taking over $120,000 since 2015. Newly-elected House Speaker Dade Phelan was given $50,000 in the 2020 cycle by the clinic’s PAC.

The Republican Party has already caved on trannies, at best they’re merely quibbling about at what age it is acceptable to turn people into eunuchs.

So UT Southwestern has one clinic out of hundreds that sucks, and we Texans are supposed to kick our best GOP leaders to the curb over PAC money?

UT Southwestern has over 40 locations, and several hundred clinics, is an academic medical center, world-renowned for its research, widely respected for its teaching and training, and highly regarded for the quality of clinical care its faculty provides to patients at UT Southwestern University Hospitals & Clinics and its affiliated hospitals.

Not suggesting violence at all but this sort of thing is why cheers go up when a cranky citizen stands up and shouts ‘blow the place up’. Only God is powerful enough to love sinners their whole life through, patient enough to forgive all wrongs anytime they are willing to sincerely repent. But we sinners certainly understand ‘hate’ when something we love is corrupted so unnecessarily.

I told my son the other day....don’t bring a girl home to meet me if you’re screwing her...you don’t love her or marriage if you’re doing that before the sacrament of marriage. Love each other MORE than yourselves or don’t waste the introductions. Dating is for discerning marriage fit, not bodily fit (God already took care of that genetically)...for the possibility of 50+ years wonderful marriage and AMAP kids of rearing with Joy as the fruit of life’s sufferings. Ok...Rambling.

They should be kicked to the curb for their votes on this legislation, not because they took PAC money.

That just explains why they did so.

Get them on the record with a credible alternative explanation.

Smells like crap!

Governor’s enemies are reaching into the bottom.

So easy to sabotage a Pol, give to a PAC that worships Satan and earmark it for the Pol to taint.

Ho-hum...

Yet ANOTHER “hit-piece” aimed at Republican leaders.

I remember when a person(even if indicted!)was considered to be “innocent until proven guilty”. That consideration was an element of our American character.

Nowadays, it seems that whenever a hateful partisan ALLEGES that a Republican leader is “tainted” with something (anything!), swarms of virtue-signalling cockroaches come running to “pile on” that false ALLEGATION.

IMHO, many people who lament the loss of our American culture would benefit from looking for the source of that loss in their own mirrors.

If they’re innocent, they need to do some explaining. Why will they not protect kids little James Younger? Why this weird silence on a major public issue???
