Abbott's tweet is the latest signaling upcoming legislative fight over LGBTQ issues.

A spokeswoman for the governor did not immediately respond to a request for comment seeking clarity on what types of laws Abbott was referencing.

Asked about the Fox News article, Fort Worth ISD spokeswoman Barbara Griffith said the district “addressed the incident when it took place in August, 2022.” She declined to elaborate. “Greg Abbott has underfunded our schools and made them less safe,” Capo said in a statement. “And he makes them even more dangerous for teachers and their LGBTQIA+ students when he uses his platform to spread this hurtful nonsense.”

During the GOP primary this year, Abbott ordered Child Protective Services to investigate reports of transgender kids receiving gender-affirming care. Although the investigations were put on hold for most families, at least 11 cases were opened and families of transgender children are fighting the directive in court.with a particular focus on transgender Texans.

You’re not God Greg

TexasSchools are not safe and the children of Texas are suffering from a deplorable education.

You endorsed this

The solution to a problem that is not all that common.

We must make sure as carrying Texans that this constant dog whistling by Abbot is addressed. He wants to be on the national stage presidential material. Nooooo!!!

I do know that what ! Governor will say . He will tell those Kid's Gender identity is ' The way God creates you - that's your identity ' . Other hand few Kid's will say that it's my choice - What I want to be . It's controversial topics .

That's great after won the election . He started his duty to do . Hope things will be done - without conflict .

All you folks that voted for this fascist should be ashamed of yourselves

This is absolutely disgusting GregAbbott_TX - this sort of legislation will only put an already vulnerable population in an even worse position. More blood on your hands, Governor.

This is the obsession of the right. They love to interfere with lives. And the obsession with genitals & reproductive organs is how they are going to whittle away people’s rights to their own bodies.

Why do Texas Republicans think it’s okay to attack the weak, the disenfranchised, and the minority? LGBTQ folks, especially transgender people, are a tiny minority more likely to be a victim of crime than perpetrate one. Shame on Abbott.

Should we not worry about our electric infrastructure, our schools, our water, the air we breathe, property taxes, or just the quality of our government and legislators instead of making a 'solution' to a non-existent issue? This state deserves better than Abbott.

Ah yes, the free state of Texas demanding to control people and erase non-binary folks from existence.

That’s clearly the worst thing that’s happened in any Texas school recently

It wasn't really a thing until Republicans became obsessed with it. Projection, perhaps?

Finally, and all it took was 20 children murdered with discussions of gender identity in Uvalde to motivate him

Fascist contemplating doing more fascism

Editorial: More Abbott border antics? Get serious.The Texas governor sent armored personnel carriers to the border. What we need are reforms... Greg Abbott keeps sending asylum seekers to Philadelphia. Fortunately, they are hip to his nonsense and are prepared any given day for whatever human trafficking stunts he throws their way. They cover the sporadic arrivals on FOX29philly. What happened to the sick 10 year old girl Abbott bused to Philadelphia? I fear the worst, considering his track record for ignoring the welfare of children — especially Hispanic children. Let me guess, Armored Personal Carriors are proof of invasion of Russian and Chinese says sneaking in with the unoccupied children.
