Texas sends ban on gender-affirming care for minors to governor's desk | CNN Politics

The Texas legislature Wednesday night voted to ban gender-affirming care for most minors, sending a bill to the governor’s desk that, if enacted, would put critical health care out of reach for transgender youth in America’s second-most-populous state

Senate Bill 14 would block a minor’s access to gender reassignment surgeries, puberty blocking medication and hormone therapies, and providing this care to trans youth would lead to the revocation of a health care provider’s license. The legislation was held up for days by protests and procedural delays by Democrats in the House.

The types of care vary by the age and goals of the recipient, and are considered the standard of care by many mainstream medical associations. Though the care is highly individualized, some children and parents may decide to use reversible puberty suppression therapy. This part of the process may also include hormone therapy that can lead to gender-affirming physical change.
