The suit is the first by an attorney general against an individual doctor for allegedly violating a restriction on gender-affirming care for minors.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton sued a Dallas doctor Thursday accusing her of providing transition-related care to nearly two dozen minors in violation of state law.
Paxton alleged that Dr. May Chi Lau, who specializes in adolescent medicine, provided hormone replacement therapy to 21 minors between October 2023 and August for the purpose of transitioning genders. In 2023, Texas enacted a law, Senate Bill 14, banning hormone replacement therapy and other forms of gender-affirming care for minors.
The doctor or the attorney general?
The AG. I didn’t think there would be any confusion as to who I was referring to. LOL
The elected doctor. /s
Jk, I had a hard time pinpointing the target of speech as well, the final comment about holding elected office was the only indicator I found. Most people are really poor communicators/writers, eh?
I mean also all the lawsuits he filed against the Biden administration makes it seem more likely it’s the conservative ag and not the liberal doctor…
Paxton gets mentioned on almost a weekly basis and it’s always something scummy that he’s done. I assumed he was the only douche bag in this story. Then there’s the lawsuits against the Biden administration, complaints about a stolen election, and the part about being elected. I figured that was enough context to indicate who I was talking about. Maybe the doctor is a douche bag too, but I didn’t meet him so I don’t know.
