Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is now suing at least two doctors that have violated a Texas law (SB 14) which prevents gender transition, and medical interventions such as puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and genital mutilation surgeries for children, Texas Family Project reported late last month.
One of the doctors being sued is El Paso doctor Hector Granados. He is being sued for giving children between the ages of 12 and 17 cross-sex hormones and puberty blockers, as well as falsifying records in an attempt to cover up his crimes. The lawsuit contains the names of fifteen patients who allegedly received such interventions by Dr. Granados. If found guilty, Granados would lose his medical license as well as face financial punishment.
[SB 14]
Paxton filed a similar lawsuit in October against a Dallas-based pediatrician who violated SB 14. He is being accused of providing cross-sex hormones to at least 21 children, as well as falsifying records. Regarding the lawsuits Paxton said, “Texas is cracking down on doctors illegally prescribing dangerous ‘gender transition’ drugs to children. State law forbids prescribing these interventions to minors because they have irreversible and damaging effects. Any physician found doing so will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.”
The Texas Family Project reported in August that despite the passage of SB 14, multiple sources within Texas Children’s hospital have come forward and revealed that gender transition surgeries for children never stopped and the doctors that do come forward are punished. Dr. Eithan Haim is under federal investigation after he revealed to Christopher Rufo that Texas Children’s hospital is providing transgender hormones to children despite it being illegal under the new Texas law, The Dallas Express reported.

Gender transition and irreversible medical interventions for children have skyrocketed nationwide in recent years. Here’s the text with corrected grammar: Since 2019, there have been 13,994 child sex change patients, 8,579 child hormone and puberty blocker patients, and 62,682 prescriptions written for child cross-sex hormones and puberty blockers, according to Stop The Harm, resulting in over $100 million in claims. So far, 22 states have placed age restrictions on gender transition surgeries. We should ban it nationwide.
