This discriminatory bill infringes on the fundamental rights of transgender individuals and their medical providers. The proposed restrictions on gender-affirming care deny transgender people the liberty to pursue their authentic lives and the happiness that comes from living as their true selves. By prohibiting treatments like puberty blockers and gender-affirming surgeries, the bill strips away crucial healthcare access and bodily autonomy. Transgender identities are valid and deserving of respect and support, not legislation that marginalizes an already vulnerable community. I urge you to protect the rights and wellbeing of all Texans by opposing this harmful measure. True freedom means allowing people to make their own personal medical decisions without government overreach. Gender-affirming care can be life-saving for those experiencing gender dysphoria. Please stand on the right side of history by rejecting this discriminatory proposal that violates the promise of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness for all.
