Texas lawmakers moved closer to a ban on certain types of transgender medical care for minors, which would make it the largest state with such a ban.
The Texas legislature voted Wednesday to advance a bill that would prohibit gender-affirming medical care for minors in the state, including a ban on hormone therapy and puberty blocking treatments.
Both Senate Bill 14 and House Bill 1686 had been moving through the Texas legislature for weeks amid vocal opposition to the proposals, which both aimed to require transgender youth in the state receiving puberty blockers to be"weaned off the prescription drug over a period of time in a manner that is safe and medically appropriate," the Texas Tribune reported.
