Life was already tough enough for transgender Texas kids. But a recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling has made things a lot tougher.
Last month’s ruling by the high court upholding Tennessee’s ban on gender-affirming care for minors reinforces a similar ban Texas enacted in 2023, delivering a pair of legal blows to Texas transgender children and their families.
“Our country is really headed in a direction away from caring about individuals, and it’s still so shocking,” an Austin mother of a 13-year-old transgender girl told Austin Free Press.
