"Texas Appeals Court Halts State Investigations of Parents Providing Gender-Affirming Care for Trans Youth"

A Texas appeals court has upheld a lower court's injunction blocking the state from investigating parents who provide their children with gender-transitioning treatment, following Republican Governor Greg Abbott's order for the state Department of Family Protective Services to do so. The injunction was imposed in March 2022, and the ruling is seen as a victory for trans youth and their supporters. Additionally, another Texas judge has temporarily blocked the state Attorney General from requiring an LGBTQ+ advocacy group to provide information about transgender children receiving gender transition treatment.
