The lawsuit accuses Lau of “falsifying medical records, prescriptions, and billing records to represent that her testosterone prescriptions are for something other than transitioning a child’s biological sex or affirming a child’s belief that their gender identity is inconsistent with their biological sex.”
Paxton is asking the court for an injunction against Lau and for her to be fined as much as $10,000 per violation.
