Judge Blocks Texas Probe Into Trans Care

A Texas federal judge has slapped a temporary halt on prosecutors’ bid to seize medical records from transgender patients in New York, calling the move “most egregious” and potentially unconstitutional — a direct jab at attempts to “demonize and eradicate” transgender people. The subpoenas, targeting gender-affirming care records from 2020 to 2026, were part of a drug “misbranding” probe, but patients’ lawyers argue it’s a dangerous invasion of privacy. With 27 states already restricting or banning such care for minors, this ruling could be a pivotal moment in the ongoing battle for transgender rights — and the Justice Department remains silent. A July 8 hearing will decide if a preliminary injunction should be issued. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
