Texas appeals court blocks state from probing transgender kids' parents
==========

A Texas appeals court has upheld a lower court's injunction blocking the state from investigating parents who provide their transgender children with gender-affirming medical treatments. Governor Greg Abbott had ordered the state Department of Family Protective Services (DFPS) to carry out child abuse investigations into families whose children were receiving puberty-blocking treatments in February 2022. The appeals court's ruling is a victory for LGBTQ groups, medical professionals, and civil liberties advocates opposing moves by conservative politicians in dozens of states to criminalize gender-transitioning treatments for trans youth.
