Sexual and reproductive rights are under attack in Texas. First, abortion rights. Now, trans and nonbinary children's rights.

The Texas Governor recently ordered state officials to investigate parents for child abuse if their children are receiving gender-affirming care. This order targets trans and nonbinary children and their families for accessing the health care they need and deserve.

Last Friday, a judge temporarily blocked the directive and stopped the state from opening investigations into parents. But this relief may not last long: The state's attorney general said he plans to take it to the Texas Supreme Court.

Hospitals and health centers have already started halting gender-affirming care, like suspending prescription refills, for fear of legal retaliation. Politicians are intentionally disrupting the lives of children and their families, and harming their mental health in the process.
