HOUSTON, Texas -- Gender-affirming care in Texas is in jeopardy for transgender children. Texas Children's Hospital told ABC13 they're pausing specific treatments after state leaders decided to ask Child Protective Services to investigate gender-affirming care as child abuse has left them no choice.The mission of Texas Children's Hospital is to create a healthier future for all children, including transgender children, within the bounds of the law.
Eyewitness News reached out to Legacy Community Health to see if they're changing treatment plans as a result. So far, we haven't had a response. Transgender activists, like Eden Rose Torres, slammed the state's move. Torres says it will harm those most vulnerable. "Government officials in Austin have made a catastrophic attack on trans kids but also the entire trans community as a whole," said Torres."As trans adults, we know how important it is to have gender-affirming care. And as kids, I can't imagine starting a process being affirmed in who I am, and then it being taken away."said denying gender-affirming care to transgender children could significantly harm their mental health.
