Social media users hounded the Texas senator for potentially putting the teacher at risk. tedcruzistheworst TedCruz Texas LGBTQ Transgender TransRightsAreHumanRights
Social media users worry that Sen. Ted Cruz's decision to share the name and workplace of a transgender teacher puts the individual at risk.
This time, the rabidly anti-LGBTQ+ Texas Republican invaded the privacy of a transgender preschool teacher by exposing his personal details on social media. The screenshot of the email exposed the teacher's name and school, meaning Cruz shared those sensitive details with his 5.3 million followers. Kerpen's tweet has since been deleted, but the senator's remains up — only now without the sensitive data attached.
Why would someone with 5 mil followers retweet this very private story? If you want to praise this school for handling a sensitive situation with dignity and intelligence you can do so, but you should redact the names."Why would someone with 5 mil followers retweet this very private story," questioned Twitter user @heart_stamper."If you want to praise this school for handling a sensitive situation with dignity and intelligence you can do so, but you should redact the name.
