Texas AG Opens Investigation Into Medical Center Over Alleged Illegal Child Gender Transition Procedures

Republican Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced Friday that he is opening an investigation into a medical center over its alleged performance of gender transition procedures on minors.

Paxton said Friday that there have been “a number of recent reports about potentially illegal activity” at Dell Children’s Medical Center in Austin, Texas, which prompted him to issue a Request to Examine (RTE) the center to determine whether state law has been violated. In a Project Veritas undercover video from April, a social worker from the center revealed it has patients “as young as 8″ that have started transitioning.

“It is now alarmingly common for fringe activists to use their positions in medicine and health care to force experimental, life-altering procedures onto children,” Paxton said in a Friday statement. “Across the country, there are doctors and health care professionals who appear willing to sacrifice the long-term health of American children, all in service to the increasingly dangerous fad of ‘transgender’ extremism. It is deeply disturbing, and there is no place for it in Texas.”
