Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton sued a doctor in El Paso for allegedly providing illegal "gender transition" treatment to children "as young as twelve," claiming state law forbids prescribing these interventions to minors due to "irreversible and damaging effects."
In his lawsuit, Paxton accuses Dr. Hector Granados, a pediatric endocrinologist, of violating Texas laws by "prescribing puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones to minors for the purpose of gender transitioning." The attorney general refers to multiple minor patients whom he claims Granados treated under false diagnoses to conceal the illegal gender-transitioning treatments.
