Texas House passes bills banning sex-change treatments and puberty blockers for minors.

Texas State Representative Shawn Thierry, a Democrat, voted in favor of a bill that bans gender reassignment procedures for children under 18. She cited the lack of knowledge about the long-term effects of puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones on children's health as the reason for her vote. Thierry also accused "hostile activists" of making personal attacks against her for her decision to vote in favor of restricting access to the controversial procedures. She emphasized the need for children to receive proper mental healthcare without political agendas.
