"This is a critical victory and important first step in stopping these egregious and illegal actions from Texas officials."LGBTQ+ rights advocates expressed relief Wednesday—and vowed to continue fighting for transgender youths—after a district judge in Travis County, TexasGov. Greg Abbott's attempt to investigate the families of children who receive gender-affirming healthcare.
"This is a critical victory and important first step in stopping these egregious and illegal actions from Texas officials,"Chase Strangio, deputy director for trans justice with the ACLU, which joined two other groups in suing over the order this week."We are relieved for our plaintiffs and ready to keep fighting to stop the governor, commissioner, and DFPS from inflicting further harm on trans people and their families and communities across Texas.
Under the directive, teachers, medical providers, and other licensed professionals who are aware of a child receiving gender-affirming care could face criminal penalties if they don't report the child's family to DFPS.
