TX SB 1646: Trans Care = Abuse

Texas Senate Bill 1646, introduced 2021-03-29, would have defined giving kids puberty blockers "for the purpose of gender transitioning or gender reassignment" as child-abuse. Note that it specifically excludes (a) intersex kids and (b) uses other than transgender therapy; it is therefore squarely targeted at transgender kids.

The bill appears to have died by being "left pending in committee", but there's nothing to stop parts of it from being re-introduced into other legislation.
