The Texas Department of Family and Protective Services will investigate a Dallas case in which a child’s gender identity is at the center of a dispute between the parents.
On Thursday, a Dallas jury effectively granted the mother, Anne Georgulas, joint custody of the 7-year-old, according to the Dallas Morning News. The child was born male, but Georgulas contends the child has gender dysphoria and should transition. The father, Jeffrey Younger, disagrees.
The case, which has drawn the ire of conservatives including U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz and Gov. Greg Abbott, is quickly becoming another battleground for legislating transgender issues raised by the so-called bathroom bill in 2017.
