PLEASE BOOST SOMEONE'S LIFE MAY DEPEND ON IT
Texas just introduced a bill that would criminalize gender transition for adults. It targets both hormones and surgery. Individuals who have already started hormones and have done the twelve required mental health sessions will still be forced to wean themselves off the medication.
It's not just a cut to state insurance funding for these procedures, it makes them completely illegal.
This is the most damaging trans bill I've seen introduced, ever. It's a complete medical prohibition on gender transition for all ages.
The prohibition is in Section 161.702:
"For the purpose of transitioning a person's biological sex as determined by the sex organs, chromosomes, and endogenous profiles of the person or affirming the person's perception of the person's sex if that perception is inconsistent with the person's biological sex, a physician or health care provider may not knowingly:"
And then it lists the procedures:
castration
vasectomy
hysterectomy
oophorectomy
metoidioplasty
orchiectomy
penectomy
phalloplasty
vaginoplasty
mastectomy
removal of any otherwise healthy or non-diseased body part or tissue
It also prohibits the following:
puberty suppression or blocking prescription drugs to stop or delay normal puberty
supraphysiologic doses of testosterone to females
supraphysiologic doses of estrogen to males
