Governor Abbott’s directive amounts to a draconian fear tactic intended to prevent adults from supporting trans youth. Hear us when we say that no directive will stop trans kids from being themselves, or parents from loving and supporting their kids.
Greg Abbot has officially directed Family and Protective Services to begin investigating all trans children in Texas and prosecuting their parents as child abusers.
He has also instructed all teachers, doctors, and caregivers to begin reporting any trans students they see.
