It is the second lawsuit against the directive issued by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) to investigate parents providing gender-affirming care as possible child abusers.
Karen Loewy, Lambda Legal senior counsel, told The Post the new lawsuit was necessary to protect other families facing investigations.Like the state’s strict abortion ban, the directive empowers private citizens to enforce it, Loewy said. That means ordinary Texans who suspect violations can report their neighbors, acquaintances and others.
When the 16-year-old boy attempted suicide by “ingesting a bottle of aspirin,” his mother, identified in the lawsuit under the pseudonym Mirabel Voe, said “It really is just affecting these kids and their parents in the most traumatic of ways,” Loewy said.
