To the Editor:
Re “Texas Bans Medical Care for Minors in Transition” (news article, May 18):
There is clearly a generational tectonic shift in gender identity going on. Legislation to prevent young people from getting high-quality transition medical care ignores the recommendations of America’s leading medical organizations. This law is a cynical, dishonest play for votes and money. It is no way to treat our kids.
