This week, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton filed a lawsuit against an El Paso doctor, accusing him of unlawfully providing sex-change hormones to children in violation of state law. The lawsuit targets pediatric endocrinologist Hector Granados, who is accused of prescribing puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones to minors, which is prohibited under Texas law.
According to Paxton's office, the state law prohibits medical providers from offering certain gender-affirming treatments to minors to assist them in transitioning their biological sex. Despite the law, Granados allegedly continued to provide these treatments to his minor patients, including prescribing puberty blockers and hormones such as testosterone.
