‘Permanently hurt kids’: Doctor accused of giving children ‘gender transition’ drugs surrenders medical license

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has announced that a doctor accused of giving children dangerous chemicals as part of her “gender transition” treatments has surrendered her medical license.

That means May Lau, who was accused of giving children “harmful, irreversible” drugs, no longer can practice medicine in the state.

“Doctors who permanently hurt kids by giving them experimental drugs are nothing more than disturbed left-wing activists who have no business being in the medical field,” Paxton said. “May Lau has done untold damage to children, both physically and psychologically, and the surrendering of her Texas medical license is a major victory for our state.”

He added, “My case against her for breaking the law will continue, and we will not relent in holding anyone who tries to ‘transition’ kids accountable.”

A report at the Texas Tribune explained Paxton had sued Lau, who was acting as a “Dallas pediatrician.”

The state’s Senate Bill 14, from 2023, “prohibits physicians and health care providers from prescribing hormones to minors to transition their biological sex,” the report said.

Lau was accused of prescribing testosterone to at least 21 patients between the ages of 14 and 17 to transition their biological gender or affirm their gender identity, the report said.

At that time, Paxton pointed out, “Texas passed a law to protect children from these dangerous unscientific medical interventions that have irreversible and damaging effects.”

Paxton also accused Lau of “falsifying medical records, prescriptions, and billing records” by inserting a puberty blocker device into a 15-year-old and billing the patient’s insurance for an endocrine disorder instead of the patient’s gender dysphoria, the report said.
