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.

Why do they need to do more “explaining” than Joe Biden? Or more “explaining” than Pelosi?

Trolls give DEMOCRATS the “presumption of innocence”.

Do you?

I remember when a person(even if indicted!)was considered to be “innocent until proven guilty”.

Politicians don't get indicted, that is the problem.

Yeah, I should have eliminated conservative-patriots from that generalization. I actually know better as I was posting that I recalled how big the Watergate affair was blown up as the biggest crime of the century, all the while ignoring every democratic plot that was carried out last election. Note tag line.

Get them on the record with a credible alternative explanation.

A most excellent suggestion, Sir!
Most excellent.

Not sure how this thread missed getting a TX ping.

Pinging a few, now :)

Not a big fan of ANY of these three, right now, but...I wouldn’t be surprised if the Bush’s fingerprints weren’t on this outrageousness, somehow.

Just a hunch

I’m not buying this either. Smell a troll on the thread a couple of times.
