Trans Health Care

Admiral Rachel Levine, a top federal health official, said Saturday she decided to visit Texas in person to speak out on anti-LGBTQI+ laws and policies that have brought the country to a “tipping point.” Texas is at the forefront of anti-trans policies.

Families of transgender kids and LGBTQ advocates have raised concerns about the well-being of children after Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and Gov. Greg Abbott’s decision to treat gender-affirming care as child abuse.

Many GOP lawmakers at a recent House Committee hearing openly stated they were unfamiliar with the nuances of trans health care.
