Texas Children's settlement orders nation's first detransition clinic

Texas Children’s Hospital will establish the country’s first detransition clinic and provide free detransition care for five years as part of a settlement with Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and the U.S. Department of Justice over alleged Medicaid billing for transition care; the hospital will also terminate five doctors involved in transition care and pay $10 million. Officials say the clinic will formalize multidisciplinary services the hospital already offers, while Paxton frames the deal as a shift away from gender-ideology and notes an ongoing national probe into transition care for minors. Details on staffing and exact services were not disclosed.
