These Ultra-Conservative Activists Plan to Plant Anti-Trans Books on Shelves in Texas
Last month, during a speech to supporters gathered in the conference room of a Hilton Garden Inn in Denton, right-wing activist Tracy Shannon threw down a challenge.
If that happened, it was the responsibility of everyone gathered that night to “raise hell," Shannon told the crowd.have ramped up efforts to get gender-affirming treatment for trans youth labeled"child abuse.", who headlined the Feb. 15 event and has worked on ultra-conservative gubernatorial candidate Don Huffines' staff.
Tracy’s trouble starts when her little brother Toby, an elementary school student, gets in trouble for calling out a fellow student when they come out as transgender. The 7-year-old Toby goes out of his way to tell Jessica, who used to be called Jason, that there’s no such thing as being transgender, and is later punished by his teachers for bullying Jessica.
Tracy, Toby and her mother end up serving as a righteous levee holding back the rising tide of “the whole transgender thing” that threatens to overtake their Texas community. “Loving parents want the best for their child. But they may also be confused, brainwashed in a way, by popular trends,” Tracy’s mother explains to her.
