'Children will die': Parents, advocates speak out against Texas gender care investigations
CNN
Parents and advocates on Friday spoke out against Texas child welfare authorities investigating reports of transgender minors receiving gender-affirming health care, which the state considers as child abuse.
The flurry of criticism -- during a public comment session at a meeting of the Texas Family and Protective Services Council in Austin -- came on the same day a judge heard arguments on whether to block state officials from conducting such investigations.
"Children will die because of Governor Abbott's order," warned the mother of a teenager who, she said, attempted suicide at the age of 12 after coming out as transgender.
