Tearful mother urges Texas lawmakers not to pass bill that would classify supporting transgender children as abuse By Caitlin O Kane Mom speaks against Texas anti-trans bill
The mother of a transgender boy made a powerful speech in front of Texas lawmakers this week, urging them not to pass legislation that would criminalize parents who allowed their children to receive affirming procedures. I m terrified to be here today, the mother, Amber Briggle, told the Texas Senate Committee on State Affairs this week. I m afraid that by speaking here today that my words will be used against me, should S.B. 1646 or S.B. 1311 pass, and my sweet son whom I love more than life itself will be taken from me.

Describing himself as a Christian, a business lawyer, a lifelong Missourian, the son of a Methodist minister, and father of four, Boulware recounted how his efforts to protect his daughter from scorn or social ostracism by denying her gender identity backfired, and pleaded with lawmakers not to pass the joint resolution.
“One thing I often hear when transgender issues are discussed is, ‘I don’t get it. I don’t understand.’ And I would expect some of you to have said that and feel the same way. I didn’t get it either. For years, I didn’t get it,” Boulware said.
