Paxton sues NT doctor for ‘violating’ SB 14
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is taking his attack on the state’s transgender residents to new heights, filing a lawsuit against a North Texas doctor for “blatantly violating Texas law by providing prohibited ‘gender transition’ treatments to nearly two dozen minors,” according to a press release today (Thursday, Oct.
17) from Paxton’s office. Paxton is basing his hateful lawsuit on Senate Bill 14, which went into effect in September 2023 and was recently upheld by the GOP-ruled Texas Supreme Court.
SB 14 prohibits gender transition healthcare, including “surgeries, puberty blockers, and cross-sex hormones for minors,” according to Paxton’s press release.
SB 14 also requires the Texas Medical Board to “revoke the medical license or other authorization to practice medicine of a physician who violates” this law.
