Greg Abbot has officially directed Family and Protective Services to begin investigating all trans children in Texas and prosecuting their parents as child abusers.
He has also instructed all teachers, doctors, and caregivers to begin reporting any trans students they see.

If you hare a "duty to report" in Texas, Texas is officially saying that you have to report trans youth to family and protective services or risk losing your job.
Unsurprisingly, Texas cites Tavistock vs Bell, the UK case that was later OVERTURNED that banned youth from transition care in the UK for a short time.
If you are the parent of a trans kid in Texas, NOW is the time to get out.
We will help you in any way we can. Please reach out to me and I'll make sure to signal boost your GFMs.

If you are in Texas, the safest nearby state to go to is likely going to be Colorado and New Mexico.
If you are a parent with a trans kid and are looking to escape these issues from ever popping up again in your life, any state in dark green is best.

When we say that there is a trans genocide going on, this is what we are talking about. It's been slowly bubbling and percolating to the surface, and in the enclaves of anti-trans governments, they are deciding now is their time to act.
I am heartened by the massive number of influential cis people sharing this break-glass moment against trans rights.
But I am also a little upset, because this has been 3 years in the making and we've been BEGGING cis people to come to our aid and signal boost this stuff.

If you are cis, and surprised by this, ask yourself why.
And then promptly go ahead and start following the accounts that will let you NOT be surprised next time. There are MANY more states planning this.

Thank you for all of your messages, offerings of help, organizing, etc.
I need to step away for a few hours. I am still recovering from surgery and I need to ensure that I have enough spoons to continue fighting on.
I will read the rest of my messages later today.

If you need immediate legal help, your best bets are the following... I can't promise they will help, but I have been told that they are aware and currently organizing help:
Lambda Legal: lambdalegal.org/helpdesk
ACLU of Texas: intake.aclutx.org

I am going to keep a separate thread of trans gofundmes for people who need assistance relocating their trans children out of Texas here. Please feel free to post your own.

I need to plug Equality Texas. They are an org that has been doing the work in Texas for a while now on trans kids.
