HOUSTON – A 10-year-old Houston girl traveled to Austin this week to tell the Senate committee on state affairs why she believes a proposed bill should be left off the Texas law books. “You shouldn’t be passing these bills because it’s not helping anybody,” said Maya Stanton, a transgender girl. SB 1646 would make it against the law for parents to allow their children to medically transition. It not only would make surgical procedures a crime, but also all medical interventions. “If they weren’t supporting me, I wouldn’t be a girl. I would just be a boy, and I would be very sad,” Stanton said while speaking of her parents.
