The Texas House of Representatives approved a bill that would prohibit gender-affirming medical treatments for minors, including hormone therapy and surgeries. The legislation aims to restrict access to certain healthcare options for transgender youth, citing concerns about the long-term effects and parental rights. The bill now moves to the Senate for consideration. Opponents argue that it endangers the well-being of transgender children and infringes on personal freedoms, while supporters claim it protects children from irreversible procedures. The legislation reflects ongoing debates over transgender rights in Texas.
