What actually happened was the Greg Abbott Leviathan stomped on the rights and wellbeing of a young person, family, and doctor. He broke the law by invading their guaranteed legal privacy and depriving them of treatment without knowing them or the case and, like the arrogant cunt that he is, claimed HE knew what the right treatment for the kid was. What business was it of his? Are we now deputizing people to inform on their fellow citizens Nazi style?

As usual, the right wants to decide what's correct for everyone--there are only two genders; that's a fact; that's a law; and that's it--while those who support transgender rights and treatment are not trying to impose this treatment or status on anyone else. Trump's very effective ad about "they/them v you" was, as usual, a lie, and now he's turning his lies into law.
