Greg Abbott has to rank among the worst MAGA governors in the country, and his appointment of Shawn Thierry to a Harris County judgeship is another example of why.
Thierry presents herself as a person of faith, yet her actions raise serious questions about how she applies those religious principles when it comes to the transgender community. She also speaks about fairness and equal justice, but her record on transgender rights makes it difficult to believe that she truly means **equal justice for everyone**.
Let’s not forget that Thierry lost her Democratic primary in 2024 after breaking with her party over anti-trans legislation, including restrictions on gender-affirming care. She subsequently joined the Republican Party and became associated with an organization opposed to gender-affirming care.
And now Abbott has rewarded her with a judgeship.
A judgeship should not be a political consolation prize or a reward for changing parties. It should go to someone who demonstrates an unwavering commitment to fairness, impartiality, and equal justice under the law
Abbott’s appointment sends exactly the wrong message: that political loyalty matters more than the confidence of the people and the principles of equal justice.
The transgender community deserves judges who will protect their rights—not judges whose political record has made them a target of their rights.
When her term ends I hope the people once again vote her out and abbott as well.
Texas needs new leadership
Yes, I’m sick of governor ‘HotWheels’!
Gina Hinojosa but Texas is still majority stupid.. It might be close with the constant war on women though..
She’s a sellout!
