Health insurance companies would be required to cover medical gender transition reversal services, per a new proposal introduced in the Texas Senate, tapping back into one of last session’s hottest debates.
State Sen. Bryan Hughes (R-Mineola) introduced Senate Bill (SB) 1257 on February 13, one of the first of its kind in the state intended to address adverse medical results of gender modification procedures. It comes in the wake of various presidential executive orders recognizing only two genders, a ban on transition surgeries for minors, and the dismissal of a whistleblower case involving gender transition activity at Texas Children’s Hospital.
