Texas doctor sues after children’s hospital halts cross-sex hormones, ‘puberty blockers’

Dr. Ximena Lopez is suing the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center after Children’s Medical Center Dallas ordered her clinic to stop giving cross-sex hormones and so-called “puberty-blocking” drugs to children with gender dysphoria.

Lopez claims that UTSW Medical Center abruptly stopped providing the services to new patients in November 2021, and she claims the new policy violates the university’s non-discrimination policy, along with Texas law.
