ACLU sues to stop Texas from treating transgender care as child abuse

A group representing 600 Texas families and backed by the American Civil Liberties Union sued Texas Governor Greg Abbott on Wednesday to stop state officials from treating transgender healthcare for minors as a form of child abuse.

In February, the Texas governor ordered the Department of Family and Protective Services to open child abuse investigations of families that provide minors with transgender care such as estrogen or testosterone treatments or hormone blockers that delay the onset of puberty.

The measure was part of a wave of initiatives by Republican governors and legislators affecting transgender rights across the country, with some state laws banning trans girls from participating in female sports and others targeting access to healthcare......

Healthcare providers consider such treatments necessary for many teens who identify as transgender, providing them support until they are old enough to consider more permanent hormone therapies or surgery.

It’s equivalent to disfiguring children for the rest of their lives. But doctors have abandoned the “do no harm” philosophy years ago.

The ACLU should stick to writing fake, lies filled articles in the WaPo for Amber Heard.
Oh wait, that ended up badly for them too. They will lose this one as well.

As long as Roe is reversed and abortion is mostly practiced in deep blue Dam states.

You can’t counsel a child that thinks he may be homosexual and doesn’t want to be but it is ok to chemically castrate him if he thinks he is a girl.

I am so sick of all this Orwellian Newspeak. Transgender “care” for kids is the opposite of care; it’s child abuse.

They are indeed sir. The lake that burns, awaits them. I don’t wish that on anyone, but they are earned it.

My sister always wanted to be a wild white horse when we were kids. The other day a man on radio said he always wanted to be a firetruck. Little kids don’t have a clue what they want to be. This transgender stuff is CrAzY.

If the trans remorse doesn’t get to them how many of these mutilated kids will have serious health problems later on? What a helluva price to pay for being stylish.

The obvious solution is to outlaw the ACLU for promoting child abuse.

This is the same ACLU who at one time defended parents who refused to vaxx their children on religious grounds, yet supports mandatory COVID shots.

It should be no problem to find 600,000 Texas residents willing to start a lawsuit in the other direction.

Transgender healthcare sounds so nice.

Correction: at this point in time it is physically impossible to be "transgender".

the correct terminology is " cross dresser/transvestite" with sever mental problems.

The drug has many ill effects, like drops IQ by 8 points, osteoporosis, at al. It has never been approved for this use by FDA.
