Nikki Araguz Update 6 - Umm...About That 'Texas Law' Meme

One of the things that I'm seeing repeatedly pop up in posts and stories about the ongoing Araguz case inside and outside the TBLG community is this recurring meme that the 1999 Littleton v Prange case is settled Texas law.

No, it isn't

The GOP dominated Texas Supreme Court did not rule on the Littleton case as a Fox 26 News legal analyst incorrectly stated.

They refused to do so in order to cover Junior's behind during his 2000 presidential run.

This comment from a MetroWeekly story about the case also got my attention:

According to Texas' laws, though, transgender people are deemed to remain the same gender as their original birth certificate despite gender reassignment procedures.

No, we're not.

Just thought I point that out as a transgender Texan.
