A story by Disney-owned ABC News that profiled families leaving red states over their transgender surgery laws, including one set of parents who claimed they knew their child was transgendered at age 3, has generated significant discussion and criticism since its publication on Sunday.
ABC News reported on a Texas couple who said their three-year-old son – now aged seven – announced “I’m a girl person” and asked at that point to be their daughter, coincidentally on “National Daughters Day.”
The couple is leaving Texas because of the state announcing its intention to pursue child abuse investigations against people who seek “gender-affirming care” for their children.
