A bill is being written right now to prevent hormone blockers and/or surgery until a child reaches the age of 18. I hope it passes. Liberal states will boycott Texas so it's a double win in my book.
This bill will also cover unnecessary cosmetic surgeries and hormone treatments for all children.
IMHO your children are fine, just how God intended, no enhancements needed.
What does "unnecessary" mean?
I knew a girl in high school that was a freshman when I was a senior (I went to a private school and we carpooled since there was no bus). She was kind of gangly and had a very large nose. I didn't think much of it at the time, honestly. She just was who she was. Nice kid.
The following year My sister was still carpooling with her when I was a fish at A&M. I came home at the end of the school year and bumped into her. She had gotten a nose job and looked absolutely stunning.
I had never really noticed her nose specifically as a problem but she obviously had, and that one procedure changed her entire appearance as well as her life for the better. She was more confident and much happier.
This wasn't some crazy Michael Jackson, "rebuild my entire face" procedure, just a surgery to give her a normal sized nose. Essentially there was a beautiful girl hidden behind a very unfortunate nose.
I would hate to deny someone the opportunity to help themselves out in a situation like that. It certainly wasn't medically necessary; the nose worked just fine. But the positives for her were amazing.
