Texas businesses stay silent on Greg Abbott’s controversial anti-trans directive
Despite swift outcry from celebrities, athletes, and civil rights groups, some of the largest Texas-based corporations have not weighed in.
On Tuesday, Texas Governor Greg Abbott released a statement directing the Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS) to investigate instances of gender-affirming care for transgender children as abuse. The directive also calls for workers with direct contact with children—teachers, doctors, and others—to report such instances or risk “criminal penalties.”
