Texas AG Ken Paxton launches probe into Texas Children’s Hospital over 'gender transitioning' procedures
Fox News
Ken Paxton announced Friday his office was investigating Texas Children's Hospital regarding the hospital's "gender transitioning" procedures on children.
"Recent reports indicate that Texas Children’s Hospital may be unlawfully performing such procedures, and my office it is working to uncover the truth. I am committed to investigating any entity in our state to ensure that our children are protected," Paxton continued. "Though many unhinged activists compromising the healthcare field think otherwise, children are not to be treated as science experiments. Doctors and hospitals should not be pushing mutilative and irreversible ‘gender transitioning’ procedures that will negatively impact innocent children for the rest of their lives."
