Texas lawmakers are taking bold action against gender transition treatments as a new bill could extend the state’s existing ban on such procedures for minors to include adults. Is the madness finally coming to an end?
At a Glance
- Texas Rep. Brent Money filed H.B. 3399 to ban gender transition treatments for both minors and adults
- The bill changes language from “child” to “person,” extending protections to all ages
- Texas Supreme Court previously upheld a ban on such procedures for minors in June 2023
- A 2022 survey showed most Texas Republican voters view child gender modification as abuse
- President Trump has taken executive action to stop federal funding for “gender-affirming care” for minors
Texas Lawmaker Pushes to Protect All Citizens from Gender Treatments
Texas State Representative Brent Money is taking a stand against the radical gender ideology sweeping across America by filing House Bill 3399, which would extend the state’s existing protections for minors to include adults. The proposed legislation seeks to amend Texas law by changing key language from “child” to “person,” effectively prohibiting medical procedures designed to transition a person’s biological sex regardless of age.
Under the proposed bill, surgeries and puberty-blocking drugs would be banned for all Texans, with limited exceptions for specific medical conditions. This decisive move builds upon Texas’ existing protections for children, which were affirmed by the state’s Supreme Court last year when it upheld the ban on so-called “gender-affirming care” for minors.
House Bill (HB) 3399 appears to build off 2023’s Senate Bill 14, a ban on transition-related medical care and medications for minors. The new bill would simply replace “child” in the specific state law with “person,” expanding the existing ban to adults. https://t.co/FdD9ndiCd5

Texans Stand Against Child Abuse Disguised as “Care”
The legislation reflects the values of Texas voters, particularly Republicans who have consistently voiced concerns about children being subjected to life-altering medical procedures in the name of gender ideology. A 2022 survey revealed that the majority of Texas Republican voters correctly identified modifying a child’s gender as a form of child abuse, showing strong support for protecting vulnerable youth.
The Texas Supreme Court has already weighed in on this issue, delivering a powerful 8-1 ruling that rejected arguments from parents who claimed the 2023 law infringed on their right to decide medical care for their children. This judicial backing provides strong precedent for the expanded protections now being proposed.
Texas’ bold legislative action aligns with President Donald Trump’s efforts to protect children across the nation from harmful gender procedures. Trump took decisive executive action to block federal funding for these controversial treatments, making it clear that American tax dollars should not support such practices.
If this passes, it could quickly emerge in other states’ legislative bodies, too…
