The American Civil Liberties Union of Texas and Lambda Legal are asking a state appeals court to ensure that investigations into allegations of child abuse for doctors and families who provide gender-affirming care to trans youth are put on hold.
A spokesperson for the DFPS would say only that the agency will “continue to follow the law” but would not elaborate on whether that means adhering to Abbott’s directive or to the court’s injunction. Paul D. Castillo, the senior counsel at Lambda Legal, said in a statement that the appeals court should act to ensure “families and mandatory reporters should not be subjected to the very same deprivation of rights and imminent injury that Friday’s injunction was designed to prevent.”
According to AG (non binding) opinion, the only care at issue here is that which has the potential to permanently damage ability to procreate. It’s sad that ACLU and Lamda think a child is capable of consenting to such a procedure.
