A state senator in Texas has introduced a bill that would designate sex-change surgeries and hormone treatments for children under the age of 18 as child abuse in the Lone Star state.
Senate Bill 1646 would prohibit parents from “administering or supplying, or consenting to or assisting in the administering or supplying of puberty suppression prescription drug or cross-sex hormone to a child, other than an intersex child, for the purpose of gender transitioning or gender reassignment.”
