Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced today that he is going after a second Texas doctor for providing gender-affirming healthcare to transgender minors.

This is the second doctor Paxton has sued this month. He filed a similar lawsuit against a North Texas doctor on Oct. 17. According to a press release from his office, Paxton has “sued an El Paso doctor for illegally providing ‘gender transition’ treatments to Texas children.

In some cases, the patients were as young as 12.” Every recognized medical association has declared gender-affirming healthcare not only safe for transgender youth but, in many cases, to be life-saving treatment.

And despite claims from right-wing sources, gender-transition surgery is not performed on or recommended for children. Texas Republicans, however, have made attacks on the transgender community, including gender-affirming healthcare for minors, part of their policy base.
