The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Texas and Lambda Legal are suing to stop Texas from banning child gender modification hormones and surgery.

The lawsuit, filed July 12 in state district court in liberal Travis County, aims to block Senate Bill 14 before it can go into effect on Sept. 1.
