Harris County Commissioners approved resolution to protect transgender children and their families
Harris County Precinct One Commissioner Rodney Ellis introduced the resolution to oppose Texas Governor Greg Abbott’s directive to state child welfare officials to launch child abuse investigations into reports of transgender youth receiving gender-affirming care.
“It is unthinkable that anyone believes our child should be taken away from us. The thought of CPS knocking on our door keeps me in a state of terror, and I haven’t slept in weeks,” Bryant said.“No young person should have their identity targeted or attacked by state officials or anyone else,” Commissioner Ellis said.
“The studies are anything but evidence-based. Their futures are at stake because treatments that will impact their entire lives are being provided to them and they do not have the capacity to consent,” said Tracy Shannon with Culture Warriors of America.
