Stogner said she felt the mailers — which were marketed as a resource guide for LGBTQ+ students from the Texas Transgender Student Union, a group recently formed in Wyoming — were an obvious bid to agitate voters ahead of the November midterm elections.
“If this ends up being legal, it is everything that is wrong with our current political climate,” Stogner said.
☝ from another Texas Tribune article linked to from the first.
Did a little digging and found the other side of the mailer in another article from CBS
All of the information in there seems to be realistically trying to deal with the fact that a lot of trans kids have abusive parents who would rather see them dead than transition. It all seems very reasonable and appropriate to the situation. The fact that the contents of this mailer are causing death threats and legal action is insane. From the mailer:
All of that is extremely healthy and supportive messaging and TBH I don’t think it’s a false flag set up to make conservatives vote harder. I think it’s real and the obfuscation is to protect the identities of the people who sent it.
I support everything said in these pamphlets and I hope some of them got into the hands of some young people who need to see them
Not to mention the mailer is clearly targeted at older teenagers, emancipation only applies to 16- and 17-year-olds anyway.
Given the number of mailers sent out, this was millions of dollars in spending to send mailers to people many who don’t even have children.
This was absolutely a false flag executed by Republicans, I have no idea how you can think otherwise.
The single best reason I’ve heard for why these are fake (regardless of how helpful and supportive the information may be for the target audience) is that the organization they are attributed to says they didn’t send them, and is starting legal action to find out who did.
