The Texas Department of Family and Protective Services last reported there were nine gender-affirming care cases open since the governor’s directive to the state on February 22 Since the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services started investigating gender-affirming care for trans youth as child abuse, the transgender community has been on edge.

Marti Bier is a non-binary adult, a parent and the Texas Freedom Network director of programs. They say the past month has been overwhelming for LGBTQ nonprofits like TFN. “We’re organizing around the state opportunities for people to celebrate, celebrate who they are and be visible, “ Bier said. “But, you know, that comes in a time of feeling really nervous about it.”
Gov.

Research also shows this care dramatically reduces the disproportionate risk of suicide in trans youth.
