Hi Cuties,
I don't know about you but I find this crap very disturbing.
Texas Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS) is questioning school children without their parents present, as part of a child abuse investigation into the child's parents providing gender affirming care.
One child was questioned for over an hour demanding to know about the family, current health care, medical history including gender dysphoria diagnosis and any suicide attempts.
In Aug 2021 DFPS deemed gender reassignment surgery as child abuse except to correct "medically verifiable genetic disorders of sex development".
In spite of this Texas lawmakers failed to pass bills restricting gender affirming care.
The department is investigating at least 12 families, eight of which have been closed leaving three.
Texas DFPS started investigations after Governor Greg Abbott (Republican of course) ordered that families who may be providing gender affirming care must be investigated.
Ricardo Martinez, CEO of Equality Texas said "I think that contributes to the villainization, the demonization of people."
