A judge in Texas has temporarily stopped the TX state government from investigating reports of gender-transition procedures on minors as cases of possible child abuse.
Judge Amy Clark Meachum on Friday issued an injunction that prohibits state agencies from conducting such investigations while a lawsuit filed by parents of a trans child proceeds through the court system. A hearing is scheduled for July 11., Republican Gov. Greg Abbott ordered state agencies to investigate reports of gender-transition procedures on children – including the administration of puberty-blocking drugs and reassignment surgeries -- as possible child abuse.
Judge Meachum said Abbott’s order violated the separation of powers because it had the effect of creating a whole new law without legislation. Also on Friday, parents and trans advocates criticized the Abbott administration at a hearing held by the Texas Family and Protective Services Council.
