Friday's district court ruling, temporarily blocks a ban that would prevent transgender minors' access to gender-affirming care.A Travis County District judge issued a temporary injunction Friday on Senate Bill 14 scheduled to go into effect on September 1 that would prohibit transgender children and adolescents in Texas from receiving gender-affirming care and penalize healthcare professionals providing it.
In short order Friday, the Office of the Texas Attorney General filed an appeal of Friday’s district court decision to the Texas Supreme Court. Lawyers for the plaintiffs are expected to request a motion for emergency relief. Lawyers for the plaintiffs argued that the law violates the Texas Constitution, parents’ fundamental rights and discriminates against transgender youth, according to Brian Klosterboer, a staff attorney with the ACLU of Texas.
Claims made by defense attorneys focused on alleged health risks – fertility issues and decreasing bone densities – and the psychological impacts of pursuing such treatment before adulthood. Nathan Noe and Gina Goe, a transgender teenager and the mother of a transgender son, both plaintiffs, made remarks opposing the enactment of Senate Bill 14. As did the executive directors of PFLAG, the largest education and advocacy group, and GLMA, an association of LGBTQ health professionals.
In a press conference following last week’s court proceedings, Alex Sheldon, the executive director of GLMA, reiterated the key detail provided in the doctors’ testimony was that there is not one procedure or treatment offered to trans patients that is not also provided to non-trans patients.
