Texas Takes Fight Against Child Mutilating Doctors

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is suing a doctor who gave hormones to minors. This is a first since the implementation of a state law banning the practice.

Many conservative states such as Texas and Tennessee are passing laws banning surgery or hormones for minors for the purpose of gender reassignment. NBC News reports:

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton sued a Dallas doctor Thursday accusing her of providing transition-related care to nearly two dozen minors in violation of state law.

Paxton alleged that Dr. May Chi Lau, who specializes in adolescent medicine, provided hormone replacement therapy to 21 minors between October 2023 and August for the purpose of transitioning genders. In 2023, Texas enacted a law, Senate Bill 14, banning hormone replacement therapy and other forms of gender-affirming care for minors.

The Supreme Court will be ruling on these laws, which the Biden Administration is challenging. The Hill says:

State bans on gender-affirming care are set to come before the Supreme Court this session after the Biden administration challenged a similar measure passed in Tennessee.

“The laws are inflicting profound harms on transgender adolescents and their families by denying medical treatments that the affected adolescents, their parents, their doctors, and medical experts have all concluded are appropriate and necessary to treat a serious medical condition,” the Department of Justice wrote in court filings. 

Whether the court decides to simply accept these laws, or if it will enact a country wide ban, remains to be seen. Deferring to the states will be the likely outcome, however.
