Bill filed to invalidate Transgender Texans Driver's Licenses

Legal gender transition has been possible in Chile a stable, prosperous, and relatively conservative country through judicial processes since 1974. In 2019, a law recognized the right to self-perceived gender identity, allowing people over 14 years to change their name and gender in documents without prohibitive requirements.

Bob Hall(R) wasted no time pre-filing a bill to allow DPS to invalidate all transgender licenses.

SB 84 defines "Female" as an individual whose biological reproductive system is developed to produce ova," meaning eggs.

This bill, an amendment to a bill Hall filed in 2023 that 'didn't go far enough' would require all transgender women regardless if they have undergone gender confirmation surgery to be identified as male on 'CERTAIN GOVERNMENT DOCUMENTS'.

This of course pertains to Texas driver's licenses and state IDs issued to transgender people. If passed it could go into effect September 1, 2025. 

Conversly, SB 84 would also require transgender men to be identified as female on state ID's and driver licenses.

As you know, the DPS changed a major department policy on August 20, 2024, and stopped honoring court-ordered gender marker changes on driver's licenses. And the DPS did this without allowing a public comment period as required, and apparently without any forethought.

Nearly a month later Texas DPS Director Steven McCraw sent a letter to Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton asking if the DPS has the authority to ignore court orders and revert driver licenses to the sex they were before they were changed. 

This is Bob Hall's final solution.

My advice to those still living here is to get to a safer state before they pass this law. A lot of people have questioned my advice since the election. I would offer that those who remain will live in a repressive fascist state unlike any seen in recent history."

Did Trump DOJ Nominee Matt Gaetz have sex with underage girls?

Donald Trump's Nominee to lead the DOJ, Matt Gaetz who is being investigated by the Ethics committee for sex trafficking, resigned from Congress Wednesday. Gaetz resigned just two days before a potentially damning report was set to be released by the Ethics Committee.

His resignation also follows Donald Trump's nomination to lead the DOJ, the agency that has been investigating his involvement in a sex trafficking ring in Florida.

The congressional committee investigating Matt Gaetz, President-elect Donald Trump’s pick for attorney general, reportedly interviewed a woman who said Gaetz had sex with her when she was a 17-year-old high school student, according to ABC News.

Convicted fraudster Joel Greenberg, who cooperated extensively with the Justice Department’s sex-trafficking probe into GOP Rep. Matt Gaetz, was sentenced Thursday to 11 years in prison by a federal judge in Florida, CNN Reports.

Greenberg, a former Seminole County tax collector, previously pleaded guilty to underage sex trafficking, wire fraud, stalking, identity theft, producing a fake ID card, and conspiring to defraud the US government. He has been in jail since early 2021 and will get some credit for time served.

As part of his plea deal, Greenberg provided information to investigators about Gaetz related to the sex-trafficking probe, a source familiar with the case previously told CNN. Women who attended parties with Greenberg and Gaetz previously told CNN that they participated in sex parties near Orlando that featured local political figures, young women, Venmo payments, alcohol, and drugs.
