The parents of a transgender 16-year-old girl have become the first known family to be investigated by Texas officials under a new order from Gov. Greg Abbott that declares giving trans children hormone therapy is “child abuse,” according to a lawsuit by the ACLU.
The child’s mom, who works for Texas’ children’s services agency, came under the scrutiny of the department after she went to her supervisors on Feb. 23 and asked them how the new directive would affect her job, the ACLU suit said.
Last month, Abbott and Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton ordered that state children’s services agents investigate parents of trans children for child abuse for allowing them to take hormones that block puberty and have “sex change procedures.”
