A scanned image of the first page of a legal document on letterhead from Ken Paxton, Attorney General of Texas, dated February 27, 2026. It is labeled "Opinion No. KP-0518" and addressed to Mr. Darrel D. Spinks, Executive Director of the Texas Behavioral Health Executive Council. A portion of the first paragraph is highlighted in yellow, reading: "mental health care providers" licensed by the Texas Behavioral Health Executive Council."
A scanned image of the second page of the Attorney General Opinion document. A section in the first full paragraph is highlighted in yellow, which reads: "[f]or the purpose of transitioning a child’s biological sex as determined by the sex organs, chromosomes, and endogenous profiles of the child or affirming the child’s perception of the child’s sex if that perception is inconsistent with the child’s biological sex."
A scanned image of the third page of the Attorney General Opinion document. The text discusses various statutory and dictionary definitions of the terms "health care provider" and "health care". There are no highlighted sections on this page.
A scanned image of the seventh and final page of the Attorney General Opinion document, showing the "SUMMARY" section and the signature block for Ken Paxton. The entire summary paragraph is highlighted in yellow, reading: "The definition of a “health care provider” in subsection 161.701(2) of the Health and Safety Code unambiguously encompasses the professions regulated by the Texas Behavioral Health Executive Council. Any licensee that facilitates the provision of unlawful procedures or treatments that aim to transition a child’s sex are thus forbidden from receiving public money in support of those efforts and, separately, risk revocation of their licenses to practice."
Texas AG Ken Paxton has declared that it is illegal for mental health providers and therapists to treat trans youth. It means that trans youth will be denied access to any mental healthcare that isn't conversion therapy. Paxton also threatens parents of trans youth with child abuse investigations.

PANEL 1: The IMPORTANT PUNDIT is standing on a soapbox with a megaphone on the street. One or two people are watching. He motions with his thumb behind himself.
PUNDIT: Hello! WHAT IF Mattie had all of "her" skin ripped off in one big piece like a clementine?
PUNDIT: This is "its" house by the way!
PANEL 2: MATTIE, sitting on her couch with a book. The voice from the megaphone comes from outside.
VO: What if someone did that. Just if anyone has a big knife, for doing the thing I talked about. I'm just wondering aloud!
PANEL 3: MATTIE leans out the window, yelling.
MATTIE: Get bent, asshole!
PANEL 4: Back on the PUNDIT. everyone is raising a knife of some sort.
PUNDIT: Can you believe that language?
PERSON IN CROWD: SO uncivil.

transphobia is just as much of an animating force for the right-wing as racism. it stands to reason that if they’re kidnapping and deporting anyone who looks brown enough, they’re doing detransition torture to trans people too. but you don’t need a comparison; they said they would do stuff like this

I truly hate to ask, but my unemployment has run out and the last two interviews I was scheduled for were canceled on me. Any amount you can donate goes to bills, my kids, and hopefully finishing up my dental surgeries.

Affected material includes:

Guys. This is the most vanilla possible stuff. This is “I find your boobs sexy” and it’s STILL too much

ICE surge in western Wisconsin echoes trauma, intimidation of Twin Cities
Volunteers have raised money to pay rent, coordinated rides to school for children and donated groceries and household supplies.
Community defense is different here. Scary. Lonely. There's (some) safety in numbers, and they're hard to come by in our red exurban and rural communities.
We're standing up anyway.
So, today's front page print headline seemed quite fitting:
Emotion, defiance as ICE roams western WI
FUCK ICE.

This should be a really happy time for me. My body and identity are finally mine, and my beautiful wife loves me even more, because I am more authentically me. The joy that is rightfully mine is being tempered pretty fucking heavily right now, but it’s still mine. It’s still fucking mine.
