Eight states presented oral arguments in Texas federal court fighting an Obamacare regulation forcing all doctors and staff perform "gender re-assignment" surgeries and hormone treatments on patients, even children. The Department of Health and Human Services intentionally refused any religious exemptions and is demanding faith-based organizations and religious people bow to LGBT demands.

In Liberty Counsel’s memo, evidence shows that most children who claim to identify as another gender before puberty outgrow that perception by the time they become adults. In addition, two-thirds of patients experience at least one other simultaneous psychiatric issue.

This lawsuit is in the same court that rejected the administration policy and freed all schools from having to include "gender identity" in their bathroom policies.

It is horrific that our government is trying to bully every practicing surgeon in America to cut and carve people, even children, based on a tenuous whim or wish. These patients, and especially children, need to find a safe environment to address the roots of their desire for sex-change surgery. Oftentimes, surgical mutilation does nothing to heal the hurt and heart of the matter.
