USA: Fighting a Cavalcade of Texan Anti-LGBT Laws

News & Politics, North and South America

There is no doubt that there is a global attack on Trans people with anti-Trans laws and rhetoric continuing to grow. And if there is a front line, perhaps it is the US state of Texas. Whether it is a bill to remove gender affirming care or political directives to investigate parents for child abuse if they supported their Trans child with transitioning, the Texas parliament is on the attack.
