The office of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton filed a petition Oct. 29 claiming Granados had prescribed puberty blockers and hormones to minors for gender transition — health care the state made illegal beginning Sept. 1, 2023. The court filing accuses Granados of providing gender-affirming care under the false pretense of treating precocious puberty.

Paxton filed the lawsuit in Kaufman County near Dallas, about 650 miles east of El Paso, where one of the 21 patients in the court filing is said to reside. Granados is one of three doctors Paxton sued last year for allegedly providing gender-affirming care to minors.

    You know I don’t know if its a good idea for minors but im not a doctor. If a doctor prescribes something and the parents are fine what business is it of mine.

      Minor gender care is primarily psychological. As they get older then puberty blockers may be involved, then HRT. It is a very long-term process and surgical treatment would be as an adult (if desired) many trans people don’t do the surgery.

      Puberty blockers and HRT are relatively safe and relatively reversible compared to the self-harm/suicide that is otherwise common among Trans kids.

          Just throwing the info out since you were “unsure” about treatment for minors. Agreed our taxes shouldn’t be bothering doctors or parents there so long as they are following medical and recommendations and Healthcare proxy input.

      So long as the doctor isn’t otherwise or unethically benefitting from the interaction, fully agreed.

        I mean thats were its sorta the parents responsibility. I don’t see how the doctor is going to benefit if someone don’t pay.

      Gender affirming care for youth is usually puberty blockers. It’s reversible.
