Paxton claps back after Biden condemns 'state laws targeting transgender Americans'
Fox News
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton responded after President Joe Biden condemned Republican state laws that he characterized as attacks on transgender Americans and their families in the State of the Union address Tuesday.
While many states across the country have passed laws preventing male-to-female transgender people from competing in women's sports and restricting access to "puberty-blockers" and cross-sex hormones for minors, Biden's claim about attacking "families" may refer to controversial new policy in Texas. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and Lamba Legal sued Tuesday to block the new Texas policy, which directs the Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS) to consider as child abuse the use of certain controversial transgender procedures on children.
Paxton, whose legal opinion formed the basis for the new policy, called Biden's remarks "shocking and sad" in comments to Fox News Digital.
