Dallas judge issues restraining order against Children’s Health
Dallas County Court at Law Judge Melissa Bellan has issued a temporary restraining order against Children’s Health allowing Dr.
Ximena Lopez to treat new trans patients for two weeks. Children’s Health stopped accepting new patients under political pressure rather than rely on medical evidence.
The hospital claimed it was continuing hormone and hormone blocker treatment to continue for existing transgender patients. Hormone and hormone blocker treatment continues at Children’s for treatments of other disorders.
The hospital removed all reference to its Genecis gender treatment program off its website. Earlier this year, Gov. Greg Abbott ordered Child Protective Services to investigate parents who took their trans children for medically necessary medical care.
