Republican State Sen. Mayes Middleton of Galveston is calling out the Texas Association of School Boards for its updated legal guidance advising government schools to affirm gender confusion in minors.TASB is a statewide taxpayer-funded lobbying group for school officials that provides products and services to school districts. All 1,024 Texas school boards are TASB members and pay their dues to TASB with tax dollars.  Earlier this year, Texas Scorecard reported on the new legal guidance released by TASB. The organization updated a 13-page document advising school districts on the “legal rights of transgender students.”   The document provided a glossary for multiple terms, such as “gender nonconforming,” “gender expression,” and “sex assigned at birth.” It also described puberty-blocking drugs and cross-sex hormones as accepted treatments for both minors and adults  TASB also instructed schools to allow gender-confused students to use the restroom of the opposite sex, even if other students and their parents raise concerns.
