The suit is the first by an attorney general against an individual doctor for allegedly violating a restriction on gender-affirming care for minors.
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.
To add to the pile of evidence that this is all just hateful bigotry and has nothing to do with children’s safety, cisgender children can still legally access these drugs, but not for the purpose of transitioning genders. The same drugs can still be used to delay aggressive puberty, which is a standard and relatively common usage, as well as other conditions that might affect a cisgender child. But a trans child who needs the same drugs for a different reason, will be told too bad, you’re out of luck. So two children could walk into the same doctor’s office and one will be turned away and forced to suffer through their gender dysphoria, with permanent repercussions for their mental health and body, and the other child will be treated with the drugs they need to be treated with. It’s absurdly unfair, unequal, and purposefully harmful to a vulnerable population.
Ken Paxton is a blight on humanity.
Who will rid me of this troublesome AG
Time, eventually
We don’t have too much of that left.
we can’t buy more time
’cause time won’t accept our money
That’s cold comfort for his current victims.
I hope you aren’t insinuating Ken Paxton is human. He’s hardly even organic.
Photos of Ken Paxton are permitted by the Taliban, because he isn’t concerned a living thing.
Not the implication. Mosquitoes are a blight upon humanity too.
Edit: Woops, wrong thing. Mosquitoes are the carriers, the bacteria/viruses are causing the blights, the diseases are the actual blights. I think you get what I mean.
I think you get what I mean.
I don’t, but I like the way you said it. Upvote for you.
As doctors continue to flee the state
This doc is a hero!
Also, wouldn’t it be cool to send a message to Paxton, and send a few fed lawyers to be her defense…. ? (Biden… I’m looking at you.)
Ken Paxton is a ghoul
America, home of the free.
rabid little twat aint he
We should punish the people hurting our children, like this jackass attorney general preventing them from getting treatment for Gender Dysphoria.
Why does he look like that alien from Men In Black that’s basically just a giant space roach wearing a human’s skin?
Ken “Edgar” Paxton
