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 met this dude a few years ago and he is straight up nuts. It wasn’t like a brief thing. I spent hours with him. He’s as much of a douche bag as he seems like. I remember him bragging about all the lawsuits he filed against the Biden administration - something like 80+ - and ranting about the stolen election. It amazes me that he holds elected office. He’s a twat.
Reminder that Texas has been Republican controlled for 28 years.
They’ve been voting for this reality for decades. People should move away from Texas.
Reminder that Texas’s legislature and Congressiinal delegations were majority Democrat for 150 years, and it wasn’t until the boost from W’s Presidential election that they got their first majority.
They then gerrymandered the shit out of the state out of cycle (it has been redistricted in response to the 2000 census the previous session) to flip it from majority-democrat to a 2/3rds Republican delegation to the House in a single election cycle.
Texas isn’t nearly as red as people think. They got a slim majority in 2000 and 2002 and then rigged the game with gerrymandering and voter suppression.
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?
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.
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…
