Texas Judge Temporarily Blocks Investigations Into Transgender Youth Gender Care
Abbott's directive that DFPS investigate reports of transgender youth receiving gender-confirming care as child abuseThe lawsuit marked the first report of parents being investigated following Abbott's directive and Paxton's opinion labeling certain gender-confirming treatments as"child abuse.
The groups also represent a clinical psychologist who has said the governor's directive is forcing her to choose between reporting clients to the state or losing her license and other penalties. Last month, Paxton wrote in a non-binding opinion"These procedures and treatments can cause"mental" or emotional injury to a child." He also added,"The medical evidence does not demonstrate that children and adolescents benefit from engaging in these irreversible sterilization procedures."
