Civil rights groups ask Texas court of appeals to stop state investigations of transgender families
CNN
Civil rights groups are seeking an emergency order from the Texas Third Court of Appeals to ensure families seeking gender-affirming care for their trans children won't be investigated.
Lambda Legal and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) filed a request on Thursday asking the court to reinstate a March 11 temporary injunction, saying emergency relief is needed to "prevent imminent and irreparable harm."
In late February, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton declared gender-affirming surgical procedures in children and prescribing drugs that affect puberty to be considered "child abuse."
