Texas Legislature bans gender-affirming care for transgender minors
The GOP-controlled Texas Legislature on Wednesday approved a bill banning transgender minors from accessing hormone therapies and puberty blockers even though leading medical groups say such treatments are vital to their mental health. Over the protests of LGBTQ+ advocates and families with trans kids, the Senate has voted 19-12 to accept a House version of the legislation and send it to Gov. Greg Abbott. Abbott, a Republican who's made transphobia a part of his political brand, is all but certain to sign it into law.
