Mixed Texas ruling allows trans youth parent investigations

The court did not rule on the merits of the investigations — which were the first of its kind in the U.S. — only that lower courts in Texas overstepped by trying to block all cases from going forward.

The mixed ruling by Texas’ highest civil court, which is entirely controlled by nine elected Republican justices, comes at a moment when GOP lawmakers across the U.S. are accelerating efforts to impose restrictions on transgender rights. Lambada Legal, which helped bring the lawsuit against Texas on behalf of the parents of the 16-year-old girl, called the decision a win because it put the state’s investigation into their family on hold. Although the ruling does not prevent Texas from launching investigations into other families, the state would be foolish to do so now because those families could also seek an injunction, said Omar Gonzalez-Paden, counsel and health care strategist for Lambada Legal.

Kids identify as cops and robbers all the time, but we don’t have small swaths of the population begging for permission to hand them guns.

Texas has turned into a shit show! Can people just mind their own business! This shit is getting crazy and really fucking annoying

Well I hope people will wake up and VOTE these DEMONS out of Office on EVERY level of Government! This is the outcome when people don’t vote on these levels! SMH! Are Ya WOKE Now?!!!

So maybe Gov Abbot should be investigated for abuse of power, along with his cronies and the judges of the 5th district court!!

Children are still developing and allowing them to alter their body chemistry during this phase is dangerously irresponsible.

The Texas Supreme Court was mostly appointed by the Texas Governor. They are political and a joke.

Truly awful. 😪🏳️‍⚧️ Is this who you are, Texas? So shameful. TransgenderRights

Child abuse? That's ridiculous! How someone identies themself is not a matter for government & courts! Republicans are trying to control everyone's personal life.

Train up a child in the way they should go 📖nkjv, And when they are old they will not depart from it, Proverbs. ❤️🧎‍♂️🙂 Visual Bible movies on YouTube, Matthew, Acts, Luke, John !!! 🕊

Texas is promoting youth suicide as ordered by the Evangelical Christian Taliban.

What happened to no big government. Seems like big government to me controlling everyone’s decisions for their bodies.

Dude, Texas kicks ass

Abbot is short for Hitler

Disgusting. Don’t live in Texas. Or bring your companies there

How about investigating the Governor and AG for treason against America and the American people!

Fantastic

James Younger's mother needs to be investigated even if this ruling hadn't been passed

this is what the GOP Freedom LOOKS LIKE
