We're going to stay in Texas, where the state Supreme Court has ruled that Child Protective Services can again investigate parents who provide gender-affirming care to their transgender children. The court overturned a statewide injunction issued by a state district court judge that had blocked such investigations. From Dallas, NPR's Wade Goodwyn reports.
WADE GOODWYN, BYLINE: The Texas Supreme Court's ruling had elements of satisfaction for both sides in the state's effort against families with transgender children. On the one hand, it allows Texas to launch more child abuse investigations against parents who have transgender children who are being treated with hormone therapy and puberty blockers. On the other hand, it left in place an injunction suspending the state's investigation into one family that has sued Texas. Karen Loewy is the senior counsel with Lambda Legal, which is representing that family.
