AUSTIN, Texas (LifeSiteNews) – Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton launched an investigation this week into two pharmaceutical companies accused of promoting hormone blocking drugs for children with gender dysphoria despite the drugs never having been approved for that use.
“The manufacture, sale, prescription, and use of puberty blockers on young teens and minors is dangerous and reckless,” Paxton said Monday in a press release. “These drugs were approved for very different purposes and can have detrimental and even irreversible side effects. I will not allow pharmaceutical companies to take advantage of Texas children.”
“Puberty blockers used on minors experiencing gender dysphoria or similar mental disorders is child abuse,” he told Fox News. “Doctors, parents, guardians, and counselors who aid and abet the use of puberty blockers in an improper manner are complicit in the abuse. As are prescription drug manufacturers, which is the basis of my investigation.”
