Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has filed a lawsuit against Dr. May Lau for allegedly providing gender transition care to 21 minors in violation of Texas law.
The suit accuses Dr. Lau of deceptive trade practices, including falsifying medical records and prescriptions related to testosterone for transitioning minors.
This case marks the first enforcement of Senate Bill 14, passed in June 2023, which restricts gender transition treatments for minors.
The law has faced legal challenges but was upheld by the Texas Supreme Court, emphasizing the state’s interest in protecting minors’ health.
Critics, including the American Civil Liberties Union, argue that the law undermines parental rights and contradicts medical consensus on the benefits of gender-affirming care for youth.
