First, a wave of bathroom bills popped up around the country, and were
subsequently squashed due to public outcry and protestations by some
corporations and sporting teams.
In 2021 and 2022, terrible record-setting waves of bills targeting trans
children have cropped up, and have been passing with frightening regularity.

#+title: New lawsuit seeks to block Texas trans child abuse investigations | The Texas Tribune
A [[id:52380883-51c6-4736-8dfb-794ce19d54e2][transgender]] kid attempted suicide because of the political anti-trans crusade
in Texas, citing the recent [[id:6be8abbb-a4c6-465d-be5e-4dc3ac6bf03c][Anti-transgender legislation]] and the governor's
executive orders to investigate families providing their children with
transition care as reasons for his attempt.
After spending time in a psychiatric facility, the Department of Family and
Protective Services showed up at his house. Staff at the facility had discovered
during his care that he was on hormone therapy and reported his family for child
abuse.
