Texas made a wise decision on this one….NewsMax published an article on Monday, March 2. 2026 headlined, “Paxton: Texas Transition Ban Includes Mental Health Care.”
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has determined that mental health professionals licensed by the Texas Behavioral Health Executive Council are considered “healthcare providers” under state law and are subject to restrictions tied to Texas’ ban on certain gender-transition treatment for minors.
In an opinion issued on Friday, Paxton responded to a request from the council seeking clarification on whether its licensees — including psychologists, licensed professional counselors, marriage and family therapists, and social workers — fall within the definition of healthcare provider under Senate Bill 14, passed in 2023.
The law prohibits physicians and healthcare providers from performing surgeries or prescribing certain medication to minors for the purpose of transitioning a child’s biological sex or affirming a gender identity inconsistent with the child’s biological sex.
It also bans the use of public funds for providers who offer or facilitate such procedures.
“Any radical facilitating the ‘transitioning’ of our kids is committing child abuse,” Paxton said in a statement.
“The law is clear that these radical procedures are illegal and in no world should Texans’ tax dollars be used to permanently harm children. This opinion should send a clear warning there will be consequences for any medical professional, whether a doctor or a therapist, who is illegally ‘transitioning’ Texas kids,” he added.
“This is a no brainier and shouldn’t even be contested. This should be nationwide, not just in Texas.” said National Director of the Knights Party of the Ku Klux Klan, Thomas Robb. “Any normal person that understands that the idea of trying to change a child’s biological sex has to be mentally ill. Up until 1973 homosexuality, which falls under the same umbrella was called a mental illness. It was replaced by the name “sexual orientation disturbance” until 1987. Either way, when you see the actions of adults during a Pride event it’s pretty clear that it is most definitely a mental illness no matter what name it’s called. Any Behavioral Health professional that would give a child cross-sex hormones should be put in jail for child abuse right along with the childs parents, and any surgeon that would sexually mutilate a child should also be jailed! It’s past time to stamp out the sexual deviancy happening in our White, Christian country.”
