Texas Allows Ban on Gender-Affirming Care for Minors

Let's move to Texas where a law will go into effect today, that will prohibit most minors from gender affirming care like treatment common for gender dysphoria including puberty blockers and hormone therapy. Some exceptions will be provided. In most cases, health care providers who do offer these gender affirming services will face the possibility of having their licenses revoked. Yesterday, the State Supreme Court shot down efforts to block the ban GL A. That's an LGBT Q plus health advocacy group denounced the ruling, calling it blatant disregard for the human rights and dignities of LGBT Q plus individuals.
