Former Spanish teacher Shelley Luther who is running for the Texas House of Representatives spoke out against transgender students at a campaign rally on Saturday.  On her website, she lists "gender mutilation" one of her campaign platforms.  The website reads, "Abolish Gender Mutilation in Children: Right now, it is legal in Texas to chemically and surgically castrate a child. The Texas legislators had the opportunity to ban this in the last session, but refused to do so. I will fight for Texas' children."  Shelley gained media attention in 2020 when she refused to close her hair salon due to the pandemic.  Her failure to comply with state mandates led to her being arrested and jailed for 7 days.
