Since MUSK votes in Texas for Repukes, he should full-throatedly subscribe and submit to "Texas law as laid out by Paxton's opinion and Abbott's directive," - NO?!1

I don't do emojis, but think I should insert here: ***SARCASM***

Elon Musk's 18-year-old daughter has filed to legally change her name to confirm to her gender identity.
The official reason given: "Gender identity and the fact that I no longer live with or wish to be related to my biological father in any way, shape or form."

Texas resumes investigations into parents of trans children, families’ lawyers confirm
Lawyers representing families under investigation said they heard from the agency Thursday about continuing the investigations that had previously been halted by a statewide injunction.

…. These cases began in February, after Attorney General Ken Paxton issued a nonbinding legal opinion that equated certain medical treatments and procedures for transgender teens with child abuse. Gov. Greg Abbott, citing that opinion, then sent a letter to DFPS directing the agency to investigate parents who provided gender-affirming care to their transgender children.

In a statement responding to the order in February, DFPS said it would “follow Texas law” as laid out in Paxton’s opinion, “n accordance with Governor Abbott’s directive.” The agency proceeded to open at least nine investigations into parents of transgender children.
