Texas Supreme Court Upholds SB 14 Ban on Gender-Affirming Care for Transgender Minors
Jun 28, 2024, 03:20 PM
The Texas Supreme Court has upheld a state law banning gender-affirming medical care for transgender minors. The ruling supports SB 14, which prohibits doctors from prescribing puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and performing surgeries on minors. The decision, issued on June 28 in Austin, comes after parents and medical professionals challenged the constitutionality of the restriction, arguing it violates parental rights and equality under the law. However, the court determined that the ban does not unconstitutionally deny or abridge equality under the law or violate parental rights. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton praised the ruling, stating it protects children from irreversible procedures.
