Texas is appealing a judge's ruling that prevents the state from investigating a transgender teenager's parents over gender confirming care she received.
The parents sued over the investigation and Republican Gov. Greg Abbott’s order last week that . The lawsuit marked the first report of parents being investigated following Abbott’s directive and an earlier nonbinding legal opinion by Paxton labeling certain gender-confirmation treatments as “child abuse.”
The lawsuit was filed on behalf of the family by the American Civil Liberties Union and Lambda Legal. 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. “Our clients and now families across the state are being targeted for the first time for simply continuing to provide the same medically necessary care to their children, as they have for years," Strangio said in a statement.
