A 10-year-old transgender girl and the supportive mother of a trans child are getting death threats after their testimony before the Texas legislature went viral.

The harassment both have received has gotten so bad that the little girls parents are keeping her off social media while the mom has filed a police report after being told all the ways I should kill myself.

Kai Shappley shamed Texas Republicans last week for attacking her rights while testifying before the Texas Senate Committee on State Affairs about S.B. 1646, a bill that would redefine child abuse to include parents who allow a doctor to give their trans child gender-affirming health care.

God made me. God loves me for who I am, and God does not make mistakes, the fourth grader told the adults in the legislature since so much of their advocacy of the bill was based on religion. I want to say thank you to those of you who are sticking up for kids like me. By the time Im in college, you will be celebrated in the history books.

[...]

Amber Briggle said that she was terrified to testify at the same committee hearing because her son is transgender and she supports him. She worried that by outing her family at the hearing, her son could be taken from her if S.B. 1646 passes.

[...]

The messages and comments directed at a 10 year old have been horrifying, her mother Kimberly Shappley explained. One of the comments the girl got was: dumb idiot get murdered you disgusting little brat.

[...]

The Texas Senate Committee on State Affairs the committee that heard Shappleys and Briggles testimonies just approved the bill and now its going to the full state senate.

Absolutely fucking disgusting. I wonder how many of these people also identify as Christian. Truly following Jesus' teachings. >_>

Sending death threats should result in jail time.

Sending death threats to a child should result in serious jail time.

Really just shows what terrible people they are in the end. They don't actually care about "protecting the children" and just don't want to allow X because it's different.

You can draw a Venn diagram that looks like just one circle between people who think this and people who are against abortion and pro gutting planned parenthood

Don't forget the people who are against children being taught gay people exist, as that might corrupt them.

I did not say anything at all about the girl overreacting, stop making things up. The dishonesty is on the part of the article author for making the title extra sensational with "death threats" when the content of the article, the people in question, say nothing about death threats.

No one should be bullied for their gender or beliefs. That said... is it wrong for me to have the belief that 10 years old and trans is a little young for that decision? Was she 10 when she became trans? or was she even younger and that decision was made?

yes. gender identity usually develops between 3 and 5. no one becomes trans, and they certainly don't ever decide to. all we can do is accept it or hide it, and it's a wonderful thing that so many people have stopped hiding it.

The girl's parents say that they are keeping her off of social media because she's being harassed. The other woman said she filed a police report because of people saying that she should kill herself. Those are both disgusting and wrong, but neither of them are death threats and reporting them as such is sensationalism. I know that you guys are going to try to carry on with this but I'm really not interested in how you want to act like they are actually death threats so save yourselves the effort.

Look, one of the victims tweeting about all of them receiving death threats and being put in danger.

The constant need for weird dudes online to continuously feel the need to try to debate and downplay the abuse and threats that we face is absolutely exhausting.

I find it strange that people always ask stuff like this when it's about LGBT people (be it trans, bi, gay, or whatever) -- but you're always old enough to know you're cis and straight. >_>

I honestly don't know myself, I just find these things out through friends, Discord, or Reddit. (I don't even live in Texas, not like I'm actually up to date on Alabama's bullshit though.)
