ACLU PLANS LAWSUIT IF ANTI-TRANS BILLS BECOME LAW IN TEXAS

The culture war over transgender identity is spreading in GOP-led states, and Texas is among those passing the harshest laws. 

The Human Rights Campaign said almost 30% of trans youth live in states that have passed bans on gender-affirming care. 

Last week, the Texas Legislature passed Senate Bill 14, which essentially bans such care for kids under 18. 

Brian Klosterboer, attorney for the American Civil Liberties Union of Texas, said the ban allows trans teens already receiving hormone therapy to temporarily continue, but requires they “wean” themselves off the treatments.
