Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s controversial opinion classifying gender-affirming care for minors as child abuse “warped” scientific evidence to suit his political aims, according to a new report by top medical and legal experts. Paxton’s February legal opinion cited debunked research, ignored mainstream medical evidence and included false information, according to the study’s seven authors, who  include legal and medical experts from Yale Law School, the Yale School of Medicine and University of Texas Southwestern. “The repeated errors and omissions in the AG Opinion are so consistent and so extensive that it is difficult to believe that the opinion represents a good-faith effort to draw legal conclusions based on the best scientific evidence,” the authors wrote. “It seems apparent that the AG Opinion is, rather, motivated by bias and crafted to achieve a preordained goal: to deny gender-affirming care to transgender youth.”
