Texas Attorney General investigates multiple hospitals over trans care

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is investigating Texas Children’s Hospital in Houston for providing gender transition-related care to minors, making it the second hospital to be investigated in as many weeks. The Texas Legislature recently passed a bill that would bar minors from receiving gender-affirming medical care, including puberty blockers, hormone therapy, and related surgery. Paxton has used the might of his office to try and stop hospitals from providing this care, citing allegations from a hidden camera video investigation from the conservative activist group Project Veritas.
