The Texas Supreme Court issued an order on Thursday denying an emergency request to block a law that bans transgender procedures for children, allowing the ban to take effect.
In an order filed on Aug. 31, judges at the Supreme Court of Texas denied an emergency motion brought by a coalition of legal advocates—including Lambda Legal, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), and the Transgender Law Center—who wanted to prevent the transgender procedure ban from entering into force and therefore restricting what they call “gender-affirming care” in the Lone Star state.
