A Travis County district judge ordered the deposition earlier this week, but after lawyers for the student union group objected, the Supreme Court temporarily blocked the order 15 minutes before the questioning was to begin.
The Supreme Court, which did not explain the reasons for its ruling, acted on an emergency motion filed late Thursday, said Mimi Marziani, a lawyer for the Transgender Education Network of Texas, or TENT. In preparation for an anticipated lawsuit, TENT hopes to learn the identity of the organizers for the student union, which formed in September in Wyoming and had an address linked to a Houston-area post office box.
Its weird the rich people are spending so much money and their thing is hating trans people. It’s very very very weird. nazi like weird.
They are just stupid. They’ve got this playbook and they are following it step by step. Target an out group to rile up your base and get them focused. Except they need charismatic people working on the people and they just don’t have it. They think it’s working because their polling metrics tell them it is but their polling methods are terribly outdated and they aren’t getting an accurate slice of the people. Because if they realized, truly, how little trans rights matter to almost everybody one way or the other they would find a different target. It’s almost a cliche at this point where rich and powerful people believe their own bullshit and think themselves clever because they have money or something. They are their own worst enemy.
In the end rich people dumb shit will actually help trans people by bringing attention to their existence and their issues.
PS- don’t get me wrong here. I think trans rights matter but it is a ways down on my list of things we ought to be dealing with right now. Seems that way to most people I’ve talked to about it. It gets a big shrug from most people.
Right, like how they think their plastic surgery looks great but they’re really just freaks with to much money and no one around them that says no you look like shit.
