得克萨斯州扩大了对向未成年人提供性别过渡护理的禁令,将社会过渡、威胁性许可证和为援助精神保健提供者提供资金包括在内。 Texas expands its ban on gender transition care for minors to include social transitioning, threatening licenses and funding for mental health providers who assist.

2026年3月2日, 得克萨斯州总检察长肯·帕克斯顿(Ken Paxton)发表法律意见, 将州禁止未成年人性别过渡程序的2023年禁令扩大, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton issued a legal opinion on March 2, 2026, expanding the state’s 2023 ban on gender transition procedures for minors to include mental health professionals who facilitate social transitioning, such as name or pronoun changes. 意见指出,这种行动可能导致吊销执照和拒绝偿还国家费用,称其为违反第14号《法案》的 " 激进便利 " 。 The opinion states such actions could result in license loss and denial of state reimbursement, calling them “radical facilitating” that violate SB 14. 它适用于治疗师和咨询师,甚至那些没有处方授权的治疗师和咨询师,并禁止公共资金支助任何从事违禁护理的提供者。 It applies to therapists and counselors, even those without prescription authority, and bars public funds from supporting any provider involved in prohibited care. 该举措与2024年得克萨斯州最高法院维护法律的裁决相一致。 The move aligns with a 2024 Texas Supreme Court ruling upholding the law.
