Texas Attorney General announced today (Friday, Nov. 8) that he is once again interfering in healthcare decisions that should remain private between an individual and their healthcare professional by going after yet another doctor for providing medically-necessary healthcare for transgender individuals under the age of 18.
According to a press release today from Paxton’s office: “Attorney General Ken Paxton sued a second North Texas doctor for illegally providing ‘gender transition’ drugs to more than a dozen children. “This is the third action Attorney General Paxton has taken to enforce Senate Bill 14, which prohibits doctors from illegally prescribing dangerous ‘gender transition’ drugs to children.
Attorney General Paxton recently sued a Dallas-area doctor in the first ever SB 14 enforcement action and another doctor in El Paso who provided prohibited interventions to children as young as 12.” No word yet on how Paxton is getting his hands on individuals’ healthcare information that is supposed to be private and protected. — Tammye Nash
