Texas has entered a new stage in enforcing its ban on gender transition procedures for minors, after a Dallas pediatrician accused of violating the law surrendered her medical license, state officials announced.Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton stated that Dr. May Lau requested the cancellation of her license from the Texas Medical Board this month and the board approved the request. Paxton called the move “a major victory for our state” and said it “permanently bars Lau from experimenting on children in Texas in the future.”
The attorney general’s office sued Lau in October 2024, accusing her of illegally prescribing cross-sex hormones to 21 minors “for the direct purpose of ‘transitioning’ the child’s biological sex.”
A press release added that “The doctor allegedly used false diagnoses and billing codes to mask these unlawful prescriptions.”
