Texas Children's to fund nation's first detransition clinic after $10M settlement

Texas Children's Hospital must open what is described as the country's first detransition clinic and pay $10 million after a state investigation into minors' gender-affirming care; the settlement also requires the hospital to stop providing gender-transition care to minors and revoke five doctors' privileges, with funding for detransition services for five years, reflecting Texas's broader push to restrict transgender rights.

Texas hospital to open first detransition clinic after settlement over gender-care practices

Texas Children’s Hospital will launch what officials call the nation’s first detransition clinic for transgender youths as part of a settlement with the Texas attorney general and the U.S. justice department over alleged improper Medicaid billing and other claims related to gender-affirming care; the hospital will pay $10 million, terminate several physicians, and fund the detransition clinic for five years with services free to patients, while agreeing to stop providing puberty blockers, hormone therapy, or surgeries to minors. The deal is framed by Texas officials as a shift away from gender ideology, amid broader federal scrutiny of gender-affirming care for minors, with the DOJ saying it will continue pursuing enforcement against providers of such care.
