The Texas Senate passed a bill that would ban gender-affirming care for minors in the state. If the measure becomes law, it would also force those currently engaged in transition-related care to stop treatment in September.
“Children who are on puberty blockers and cross sex hormones need more counseling in love,” Campbell said. “They don't need blades and drugs."Last week, the Texas Senate approved an amendment that would have allowed transgender minors currently on gender-affirming care to continue with their treatment.
But on Monday, Campbell asked the chamber to reconsider the vote on the amendment and to drop it instead. The Republican-led Senate did. In its current form, the measure would ban gender-affirming care for everyone under 18, including those currently on puberty blockers and cross-sex hormone therapy.
