Texas Children's Hospital,the nation's largest children's hospital, will no longer offer transgender medical procedures for children, according to the hospital's CEO Mark Wallace. Under the legislation, procedures and treatments for gender transitioning, gender reassignment, or gender dysphoria that are intended to transition a child's biological sex, will be banned. Such procedures include those that sterilize children, such as castration, vasectomy, hysterectomy, and vaginoplasty, as well as drugs that induce temporary or permanent infertility, or block or delay normal puberty
But even before those treatments are formally banned, Paxton has used the might of his office to try and stop hospitals from providing this care. Two weeks ago, Paxton announced a similar investigation into Dell Children’s Hospital in Austin, citing allegations from a hidden camera video investigation from the conservative activist group Project Veritas.

I am totally against all medical procedures done to minors for the purpose of 'sex change'.
The Texas Legislature recently passed a bill that would bar minors from receiving that medical care, including puberty blockers, hormone therapy and related surgery — though such surgery is rare for minors. Gov. Greg Abbott has said he will sign the bill, and it is expected to go into effect in September.

I think its the lawsuits that have been filed by the now adult children that suffered this butchery.
When your child is sick, you don't boycott.

I've heard that one of the lawsuits included that parent(s) that allowed it as well.
I wonder how many intact, mom and dad, families have had this issue in their families, and how many are single children? If siblings, what family order are the kids with gender dysphoria, or social contagion issues?
We blame mom's, but I feel role of fathers is just as important to both sexes of children too.
