Amid consternation over an order from the Texas governor designating transition-related care for transgender youth as child abuse, President Joe Biden and Secretary of Health and Human Services Xavier Becerra issued a pair of statements Wednesday night condemning the move.Biden in the March 2 statement issued by the White House called the order from Texas Governor Greg Abbott (R) "a cynical and dangerous campaign targeting transgender children and their parents.""This is government overreach at its worst.

Like so many anti-transgender attacks proliferating in states across the country, the governor's actions callously threaten to harm children and their families just to score political points," Biden stated. "These actions are terrifying many families in Texas and beyond.
