Anti-Trans Texas Politician Heckled as 'Fascist' in Viral Video
My San Antonio reports. The event was chronicled in a Twitter thread, now taken down, but some videos of the student reaction remain available.“Younger, according to the tweets, only egged on the protesters by asking them to make more noise and proceeded to call the protesters ‘Communists,’” the site reports. “Another tweet alleges that Younger said ‘Trans people don’t exist.’” Younger entered the race for House District 63 last November after a long custody battle over his twin children, now 9.
One is a boy, the other a trans girl. Anne Georgulas, Younger’s ex-wife and the twins’ mother, is a pediatrician who has supported the trans child in her transition.In 2019, a jury in Dallas County awarded sole custody to Georgulas, but the judge in the case ignored that verdict and ruled for joint custody.
Younger and Georgulas continued to fight over custody for two more years, and in 2021 another Dallas County judge awarded most parental rights to Georgulas, while allowing Younger supervised visits, according to Courthouse News Service.
However, the judge also barred Georgulas from allowing the trans child to undergo “hormonal suppression therapy, puberty blocks, and/or transgender reassignment surgery” without Younger’s consent. (Genital surgery, by the way, is not generally performed on minors.)On his campaign website, Younger contends the child is not transgender but was misdiagnosed, and says a doctor planned to put the child on puberty blockers beginning at age 9.
