Up now in Texas Senate: #SB1029 which would prohibit public $ for "provision or administration" of gender-affirming care for all ages of patients.

Would also make insurers "strictly liable" to pay for detransitions, and make it easier to sue doctors for malpractice. #txlege
Sen @NathanForTexas asks: "If a patient comes in and requests a procedure, and the physician provides the procedure and does so competently, that physician is nevertheless liable to that patient for anything that follows that procedure?"

@DonnaCampbellTX Sen. Jose @Menendez4Texas, D-San Antonio, asks why Campbell, who is a physician herself, wants to get in between patients and doctors.

She says this is a situation where the system can't regulate itself + the gov't needs to step in.
@DonnaCampbellTX @Menendez4Texas Campbell says there is a "social contagion" when it comes to transgender children.
