A Texas law that bans doctors from performing sex change surgeries for children does not violate the Texas Constitution, the state’s Supreme Court ruled on June 28.

“The legislature made a permissible, rational policy choice to limit the types of available medical procedures for children, particularly in light of the relative nascency of both gender dysphoria and its various modes of treatment and the legislature’s express constitutional authority to regulate the practice of medicine. We therefore conclude the statute does not unconstitutionally deprive parents of their rights or physicians or health,” Texas Supreme Court Justice Rebeca Huddle wrote for the majority.
