Recently, Texas has taken legal action against a Dallas doctor for allegedly providing gender-affirming care to minors, in violation of a state ban. This move by the state marks one of the initial attempts to enforce bans on such care, predominantly driven by Republicans.
The lawsuit, filed by the Texas Attorney General, accuses the physician of administering hormones to more than 20 minors, contravening a Texas law that came into effect last year. This enforcement action is a first for Texas, as confirmed by a staff attorney from the ACLU’s LGBTQ & HIV Project.
