Two bills in the Texas House of Representatives aim to make providing “gender-affirming health care” to children on par with child abuse and possibly even a felony.
House Bill 42, filed by State Rep. Bryan Slaton (R-Royse City), seeks to broaden the definition of child abuse to include “the purpose of attempting to change or affirm a child’s perception of the child’s sex if that perception is inconsistent with the child’s biological sex as determined by the child’s sex organs, chromosomes, and endogenous hormone profiles.”
