A Texas judge is holding a hearing on whether to prevent state agencies from investigating gender-confirming care for transgender youth as child abuse.
The family is part of a lawsuit against the state's directive from the American Civil Liberties Union and Lambda Legal.
"The recent attempt to criminalize a parent for helping their transgender child access medically necessary, age-appropriate healthcare in the state of Texas goes against the values of our companies," a signed letter from the companies stated.
She told ABC News that she believes fear-mongering has painted a picture of trans youth that is"completely not true."She said that for many young children, transitioning means using a name and pronoun that feels right for them and presenting themselves in a way that feels right for them.
