A Texas children’s hospital is under investigation for allegedly performing what prosecutors are calling “experimental” sex reassignment procedures on children.
Attorney General Ken Paxton announced the investigation on May 5 into Austin-based Dell Children’s Medical Center (DCMC), where prosecutors say the use of puberty blockers and “gender transitioning” procedures were unlawfully performed on minor children.
A state Request to Examine (“RTE”) issued to DCMC seeks information on the medical center’s use of puberty blockers on minors, including with and without parental consent, patient age ranges, and the number of times a patient is seen by DCMC prior to receiving treatment.
Calling the allegations “deeply disturbing,” Paxton said the investigation was launched in response to several reports about “potentially illegal activity” at the hospital. CP.
