Question

A Texas law banning transgender youth from accessing puberty blockers and hormone therapy will go into effect next week after the state attorney general's office filed to block a judge's temporary injunction against Senate Bill 14. In her decision Friday, state district court Judge Maria Cantú Hexsel wrote that SB 14 "interferes with Texas families' private decisions and strips Texas parents ... of the right to seek, direct, and provide medical care for their children." In response, the attorney general's office filed an appeal with the Texas Supreme Court, a move that automatically pauses Cantú Hexsel's injunction and will allow the law to go into effect Sept. 1. The attorney general's office said such medical treatments are "unproven" and "pushed by some activists in the medical and psychiatric professions" in a statement announcing the appeal Friday evening.
