Senate Bill 14 would ban doctors from providing kids with transition-related treatments that medical groups recommend for children with gender dysphoria.
“You have a friend and supporter in me,” Jolanda Jones said. “I am a part of the family and I will vote to protect us all because if you come for one of us, you come for all of us.”
SB 14 would also ban health care facilities that offer the targeted treatments from receiving public money and require the state medical board to revoke the license of physicians providing this care. The committee vote Monday came four days after lawmakers heard about nine hours of testimony about the bill. During the Thursday hearing, Republican state Sen.of New Braunfels claimed that some medical professionals are causing children to doubt whether they are happy with their gender assigned at birth and are purposefully misguiding parents, creating what she called a “social contagion.
But a number of Texas medical groups, including the Texas Pediatric Society and Texas Psychological Association, testified against the bill last week.
