According to the complaint, Jane Doe, a DFPS employee, allegedly"was placed on leave from her employment because she has a transgender daughter with a medical need for treatment of gender dysphoria." "The actions taken by Defendants have already caused severe and irreparable harm to families across the state of Texas, including the Doe family, and have put medical and mental health providers in the impossible position of either following their legal and ethical professional responsibilities or facing criminal prosecution or civil and professional repercussions under Texas law," the complaint reads.
