The measure, passed by the legislature and expected to be signed by Gov. Greg Abbott (R), bans hormone and puberty blocking treatments as well as surgeries for transgender minors. “I’ll be signing it,” Abbott said.
“We have a safe folder. We have folders ready to go with all our documents and passports and we have cash on hand. We have an escape route if we need it,” Stanton said. “The alternative is we pick up and move and we are officially political refugees. Or we stay and fight for our home. We shouldn’t have to leave. This is wrong.”
least 14 other states have enacted restrictions on medical treatments for transgender children. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a bill this week that bans hormone treatments and gender-transition care for minors, and would penalize doctors who violate the law with up to five years in prison. Lambda Legal, the American Civil Liberties Union and several other groups announced Thursday that they plan to sue to block the new Texas law.“Let’s send a message to millions of Texans that in this building, we will protect Texas children,” state Rep. Tony Tinderholt said before the Texas House passed the measure last week.State Rep. Shawn Thierry, a Democrat, broke with her party to vote for the measure, likening it to age limits on tanning booths, tattoos and cigarettes.
“We feel very strong about it and so does our attorney general,” he said. Paxton’s office did not respond to requests for comment.
