11:37Now PlayingA Texas transgender teen was admitted to a hospital after a suicide attempt, and instead of treating him with the proper care, the hospital reported his parents to the state government for child abuse. The teen, Antonio, even cited Greg Abbott’s antitrans laws as a factor in his suicide attempt, in addition to bullying from classmates who were galvanized by Abbott’s and the Republican’s transphobic rhetoric. Cenk Uygur, Jayar Jackson, and Jessica Burbank discuss on The Young Turks. Watch LIVE weekdays 68 pm ET.

"On Wednesday, the American Civil Liberties Union and Lambda Legal filed a lawsuit on behalf of three families challenging Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s recent call for the state’s Department of Family and Protective Services to investigate parents who provide gender-affirming healthcare to transgender kids, and to block the state from investigating members of PFLAG.
The lawsuit cites a particularly disturbing case in which a transgender boy whose family was reported to the state’s DFPS by hospital staff after he was admitted for attempting suicide after he took a bottle of aspirin.
According to the lawsuit, 16-year-old Antonio Voe “said that the political environment, including Abbott’s Letter, and being misgendered at school, led him to take these actions.” When hospital staff learned he had been receiving hormone therapy, they reported his family to the DFPS."
