A Texas judge has temporarily blocked Republican Governor Greg Abbott’s new anti-trans directive, which ordered state officials to investigate gender-affirming care of children as “child abuse.” Under the policy, health workers and educators who had knowledge of the lifesaving care and did not report it could also face criminal penalties. District Judge Amy Clark Meachum called the order “unconstitutional.” The injunction will stay in place until the case is heard in court in July.
