Texas Republican reps want to keep parents of trans minors from providing gender-affirming care
A slew of Republican bills aimed at the trans community will take center stage in the next Texas legislative session.Prominent healthcare organizations, such as American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Medical Association and the Texas Pediatric Society, appears to be in agreement: Gender-affirming care is the best treatment for transgender children.
Rep. Bryan Slaton, a Royse City Republican, filed House Bill 42, which would change the definition of child abuse in Texas family code to include gender-affirming care. "Today, I filed HB 42 in order to ban the barbaric practice of child gender-modification, and classify it as child abuse," Slaton wrotelast month."This should have passed into law last session. Now is the time for the Tx House to step up and protect our children from these bogus medical practices."Rep. Steve Toth, a Republican from The Woodlands, filed a similar bill, House Bill 41.
HB 122 has a companion bill in the Senate coauthored by Sens. Bob Hall, Donna Campbell and Charles Perry. Their companion bill, Senate Bill 250, would also include disciplinary action and revocation of healthcare professionals’ medical licenses and certificates. Any place that puts on a drag show for an audience of two or more people would be considered a sexually oriented business under these two bills.
The American Academy of Pediatrics supports gender-affirming care, which can include medication and surgery. It even notes there are risks associated with some of these practices and the long-term implications haven’t been studied extensively.
