CW: Discussions about child abuse, transphobia, anti-trans legislation, LGBTQ+ violence, racism, and (most of all) Greg Abbott.

We are so excited to bring your our very first collab with Dr. Terry Dornak, a clinical psychologist and host of the Hello Wonderful podcast!

This week, we're discussing Texas Governor Greg Abbott's recent directive to investigate gender-affirming care for trans youth as child abuse. Although the directive is currently in legal limbo, the state is currently investigating a number of families.

What does this mean for trans people in Texas and beyond? Will we see copycat laws pop up in other states? Dr. Dornak helps answer all of our questions and more!
