If You Don’t Live In Texas It’s Probably Easy To Forget That Our State Department Of Family And Protective

When the CPS worker investigated us in our home this year, she ended her interrogation of me by asking me if I had any questions. 

I did. Quite a few, actually. Like "How do you sleep at night" and "Show me in the Constitution where any of this is legal."

Buckle up. Angry 🧵:

Instead, I looked her in the eye, steadied my shaky voice, and asked her if she knew how many kids in custody of @TexasDFPS died since 2020.

"I dont know," she said.

"At least ONE HUNDRED," I told her.

I continued:

— Amber Briggle (she/her) (@mrsbriggle) September 1, 2022
"How many MORE children are going to suffer and DIE, because employees like you are wasting valuable, scarce resources terrorizing families like mine for doing nothing more than loving our transgender kids unconditionally?"

She didn't have an answer for me.

— Amber Briggle (she/her) (@mrsbriggle) September 1, 2022
It's no secret that @TexasDFPS has been an absolute shitshow for YEARS now. Kids are sleeping under desks, getting lost in the system, and are dying due to neglect from all the adults in their life — including their CPS caseworker.

— Amber Briggle (she/her) (@mrsbriggle) September 1, 2022
More than 2000 DFPS employees have quit since @GregAbbott_TX and @KenPaxtonTX issued their illegal edict against trans inclusive families. TWO THOUSAND fewer caseworkers just this year, in an agency that was already understaffed, underfunded, and overworked.

— Amber Briggle (she/her) (@mrsbriggle) September 1, 2022
Mark my words: more children will die from this. And it won't be just trans kids who die by suicide from being told they don't belong anywhere. It will be the most vulnerable children already in CPS custody, who will die from *actual* abuse and neglect.

— Amber Briggle (she/her) (@mrsbriggle) September 1, 2022

If you don’t live in Texas it’s probably easy to forget that our state department of family and protective services is still under a directive from our fucking evil state officials to treat trans affirming parents as abusers.

It’s so vile. I have friends who work for other state departments who just told me at someone’s bday last weekend that TDFPS is a dumpster fire of horrific proportions.

I’ve met Shatzi Weisberger at countless protests over the past 4 years. She’s fought injustice for decades and you should check out her fantastic protest signs if you haven’t already. It was just announced that she has a terminal illness. Now, she needs your support during the final stage of her life. She is a treasure and deserves all the care in the world. You can donate to her hospice fundraiser here.

So Arizona launched an “education hotline” that allows “concerned parents” to report “””critical race theory””” and other things like ~gender identity~ being taught in the classroom

It would be a shame if the number and email were spread to bad actors looking to prank call the AZ Department of Education

602-771-3500 or empower @ azed .gov 🤡

azfamily.com
Horne said two staff members are sorting through the calls, and two investigators are working on credible leads.

Ya'll are valid and awesome!

Like and reblog if your account is a safe space for trans lesbians. It feels like trans lesbians in particular get shamed and ridiculed a lot by people in and out of the community. If you’re reading this I want to let you know you’re valid and I hope your safe and doing well.

To any transgender person that is worried for their life, there is hope!

These are pictures from a Trans Rights rally at Purdue University at Lafayette today. HUNDREDS of students showed up and people not even going to Purdue showed up.

To Any Transgender Person That Is Worried For Their Life, There Is Hope!
To Any Transgender Person That Is Worried For Their Life, There Is Hope!

Citizens from Lafayette and beyond, students from all parts of the world, and even PASTORS from local churches came out to show their support for trans people and the LGBT+ community as a whole

To Any Transgender Person That Is Worried For Their Life, There Is Hope!

If people are willing to come out and support trans people they don’t even know, image what they would do for people they DO know. You matter, you specifically, you are loved, and don’t you dare forget it, because you are worth it, these people all care about you enough to fight for you.

Like and reblog and do whatever else the algorithm needs you to do because we need to give as many trans teens hope as possible. the current wave of legislation is so depressing, I can only hope that I reach at least one person. If you want to message me, I am open talk at any time. I already know I would love to meet you! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️
