Addressing the Transgender Agenda with Wise Co. Commissioner's Court

On 1/24/22 I attended Commissioner's Court and addressed the transgender issue. Here's the transcript:

The reason I'm addressing this is because this is impacting people in Wise County, especially our young people. None of us could have seen this coming, but this is where we are today, and we need our local leaders to address it.
Here's the text of my speech:
Good morning and thank you for your service to our community. I'm here to address a growing issue in Wise County. I've been addressing this at school board meetings because it's in our schools and affecting many families in our community.
I'm speaking of the transgender ideology, which is impacting children and adults everywhere across the planet, and Wise County is no exception.
I can’t force anyone here to publicly acknowledge what a troubling issue this truly is, but I can ask when there will be a County policy established to address the host of issues it brings. This issue has the potential to not only change our values, but violate our first amendment right to free speech.
If a County employee decides to claim they’re a different gender, a TG employee is hired, or when a transgender citizen visits a county facility, the County employees need to know how to respond.
How will County employees be allowed to refer to this person? Do they use the name the person has always had? Does it have to be legally changed? If an employee refuses to acknowledge the transgender person’s new name, will there be repurcussions?
What bathroom will a man who now claims he is a woman be allowed to use (and vice versa)?
If the transgender person wants to force others to refer to them by pronouns which differ from their biological reality, or they want invented pronouns used, such as Ze/Zer or they/them, will County employees be forced to comply? This is compelling speech, a clear violation of the first amendment.
It's unfortunate this has to be brought up, but this has been coming for some time now and this is the world we are now in. To ignore it will not fix it.
If we want to preserve the values of our community, one of those values we should proclaim is the truth that gender is directly tied to our biological reality.
I want to clarify I’m not speaking ill of any person struggling with their gender identity, and there are indeed many in Wise County who claim they’re transgender, especially among our young people. I have nothing but compassion for them. They need help, not confirmation of the delusion they’ve fallen victim to.
I’m standing up against the ideology itself and those who espouse it, whether through activism, corporate policy, or government policy. The clear scientific and medical evidence shows how physically and psychologically damaging this is to people who suffer from it, yet it continues to be normalized in every facet of our society. We have a duty to ensure the children, parents, and employees of Wise County are protected and they know this will not be normalized here.
The people in this room have the authority to protect the employees of Wise County by providing a clear and succinct policy to handle all of these issues. I have this resource packet which is geared towards schools, but can be utilized for implementing our County policy as well. If you'd like a soft copy or any further resources, please let me know and I'd be happy to provide any help you need.
Thanks again and God bless.
