The office of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton filed a petition Oct. 29 claiming Granados had prescribed puberty blockers and hormones to minors for gender transition — health care the state made illegal beginning Sept. 1, 2023. The court filing accuses Granados of providing gender-affirming care under the false pretense of treating precocious puberty.
Paxton filed the lawsuit in Kaufman County near Dallas, about 650 miles east of El Paso, where one of the 21 patients in the court filing is said to reside. Granados is one of three doctors Paxton sued last year for allegedly providing gender-affirming care to minors.
Minor gender care is primarily psychological. As they get older then puberty blockers may be involved, then HRT. It is a very long-term process and surgical treatment would be as an adult (if desired) many trans people don’t do the surgery.
Puberty blockers and HRT are relatively safe and relatively reversible compared to the self-harm/suicide that is otherwise common among Trans kids.
great but still none of my business or anyone elses. unless they are the doctor or parent.
Just throwing the info out since you were “unsure” about treatment for minors. Agreed our taxes shouldn’t be bothering doctors or parents there so long as they are following medical and recommendations and Healthcare proxy input.
