A judge on Wednesday temporarily blocked Texas from investigating the parents of a trans teenager for child abuse because they sought gender-affirming care for her.
Travis County District Court Judge Amy Clark Meachum limited the temporary restraining order to the plaintiffs in the case, but has scheduled a hearing for March 11 to decide whether to block the directive more broadly.The ACLU and The Trevor Project, an organization that provides crisis intervention and suicide prevention services to LGBTQ youth, applauded the move.
"Families should not have to fear being separated because they are providing the best possible health care for their children," he added. "We will do all that’s possible to stop these abuses of power and ensure transgender young people can receive medically recommended treatment." "Like so many anti-transgender attacks proliferating in states across the country, the Governor’s actions callously threaten to harm children and their families just to score political points," he said in a statement.
