WHEREAS, recently in the state of Texas children as young as three (3) years old are being transitioned from their biological sex to the opposite sex; and 

WHEREAS, chemical castration, puberty blockers, and cross-sex hormones used in transitioning are off-label and can cause irreversible sterilization; and

WHEREAS, surgery may be performed in the process of transitioning that removes healthy body tissue and mutilates genitalia; and

WHEREAS, in 85-95% of cases, confusion regarding biological sex resolves by late adolescence and early adulthood; now

THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Republican Party of Texas affirms that puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgery to remove healthy body parts and mutilate genitalia for the purpose of sex transition should be banned on all minor children in the state of Texas.

Respectfully submitted,

Resolutions Committee
