Medical Center Accused of Performing Illegal ‘Gender Transitioning’ Surgeries on Children — Texas AG Launches Investigation
Republican Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced on Friday that his office had launched an investigation into Dell Children’s Medical Center in Austin after allegations surfaced that the clinic illegally performs “gender transitioning” surgeries on children.
In 2021, the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services declared that gender surgeries on minors are “child abuse.” Last year, Paxton issued an opinion that “so-called sex-change” surgeries and puberty blockers for children constitute child abuse under Texas law.
Paxton shared the announcement on Twitter, writing, “I am launching an investigation into Dell Children’s Medical Center regarding gender transitioning of minors. Gender transitioning minors is child abuse, and child abuse will not be tolerated.”
As part of the investigation, Paxton issued a Request to Examine to the medical center, which requires the institution to answer for the allegations to determine if any laws were violated.
Paxton said, “It is now alarmingly common for fringe activists to use their positions in medicine and health care to force experimental, life-altering procedures onto children.” (Read more from “Medical Center Accused of Performing Illegal ‘Gender Transitioning’ Surgeries on Children — Texas AG Launches Investigation” HERE)
