A bill that would ban gender procedures for transgender youth in Texas is headed to Gov. Greg Abbott's desk.
on Wednesday gave final approval for a bill that would ban gender procedures and therapies for minors, which now heads to the governor's desk.
Senate Bill 14 would prohibit transgender youth from getting puberty blockers and other hormone therapy needed to transition. It would also require those already receiving such care to be"weaned" off in a medically appropriate manner. "We are the Legislature — our job is to protect people," GOP state Sen. Bob Hall said, the news outlet reported."We protect children against lots of things. We don’t let them smoke. We don’t let them drink. We don’t let them buy lottery cards. … And so we are doing the right thing."
"Politicians who voted for this bill cruelly turned their backs on families, science, and the safety and lives of children," The American Civil Liberties Union of Texas tweeted last week when House lawmakers passed the bill."Trans people have always existed and always will. This is not the end."
