On Tuesday, Travis County District Court Judge Maria Cantú Hexsel held the first hearing on the Senate Bill 14 lawsuit. She heard from the plaintiffs, medical experts and attorneys who asked the court to block the law’s implementation.
That includes puberty blockers and hormone therapies, as well as surgeries — though they are rarely performed on minors.
“I spent the last month telling people that I may in fact not be able to see them come Sept. 1,” Roberts, who is a plaintiff in the lawsuit, said. “It would be heart wrenching to lose these patients.”Dr. Aron Janssen, the vice chair of clinical affairs at the Pritzker Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Health at the Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago, said in court Tuesday that gender-affirming care creates multiple positive outcomes for transgender children.
Supporters of SB 14 have heavily focused on the surgery aspect of care. That’s despite medical experts, including Dr. Johanna Olson-Kennedy, pointing out that the procedures are uncommon.
