Trans Texans have always existed and always will. But as thousands of trans, non-binary, and gender diverse people across our state live openly as their true and authentic selves, they face unprecedented backlash from lawmakers and politicians who are trying to bully them for political gain.

As some Texas politicians continue to relentlessly target trans youth, it is more important than ever to love and support each other and unite against discrimination.

Check out Transgressive: A trans survival guide by and for queer and trans people in Texas from the Transgender Education Network of Texas (TENT).

Access Resources for Transgender Youth & Families in Texas Impacted by SB14 from the Campaign for Southern Equality, Equality Texas, and TENT.

And check out this Mental Health Toolkit from Equality Texas, as well as additional resources below.

As further explained on the Legal Updates page, we still have court orders blocking investigations into transgender youth and their families for medical care they receive by the Texas Department of Family Protective Services, which were recently affirmed by the Third Court of Appeals. These orders specifically protect members of PFLAG National, which you can join here. If you or someone you know is contacted by DFPS about health care for transgender youth, you have a right to legal counsel and can contact the Lambda Legal Help Desk.

To request other legal assistance, please visit the ACLU of Texas or Lambda Legal websites.
