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.
I don’t disagree with you at all.
It wasn’t me arguing against the post, just thinking out loud basically.
I like the philosophy aspect of finding where the line is.
I do it with like everything.
Figure this one out, usually people find things that are fluffier less edible, but a squirrel and a rat are essentially the same animal but people will totally eat squirrel, but I don’t ever hear of people commonly eating rat even when other food is available.
The fluffiness actually works against it.
A pigeon and a dove are the same damn thing only differently colored.
Most people wouldn’t eat a pigeon, but they would eat a dove or a squab
The fluffiness of the animal is kind of irrelevant? Rats and pigeons are generally perceived as potential disease carriers, regardless if they are more likely than squirrels or doves to carry.
The problem is that you’re not the one deciding what drug to prescribe. The government is.
And even if you were, shouldn’t the decision on “where to draw the line” be made by the parent, the child, and their doctor?
We can have all the philosophical conversations you want but we have people who are being affected by this right now.
