AUSTIN — A Texas district court judge on Friday temporarily halted all child abuse investigations into gender-affirming care for trans minors after a daylong...
All of the major state and national medical groups support age appropriate, individualized gender-affirming care to treat gender dysphoria in minors, which is the feeling of discomfort or distress that can occur in people who identify as a gender that is different from the gender or sex assigned at birth.
Plaintiffs’ attorneys called two doctors as expert witnesses, both of whom said gender-affirming care is safe and sometimes medically necessary. Both said that, like many medical interventions, they are not without risks. Earlier in the day, a child protective services employee who recently resigned over Abbott’s order gave detailed testimony about how the state is implementing it. Randa Mulanax, an investigations supervisor, said employees who usually have discretion on whether to open abuse investigations were told they had to do so if the report involved allegations a minor was receiving gender-affirming medical care.
