得州儿童医院因性别肯定护理调查与州政府达成和解，将设去性别诊所
Read, Watch or Listen
Houston: Texas Children's Hospital agreed on Friday, May 15, to create the nation's first detransition clinic as part of a settlement announced by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton resolving a years-long investigation into gender-affirming care and billing practices at the 1,000-bed hospital. The settlement, coordinated with the U.S. Department of Justice, also required personnel changes and a monetary payment to the state. Under the deal announced Friday, the hospital must fire five doctors who performed transgender procedures on minors, pay $10 million to Texas for alleged improper Medicaid billing, and halt gender-affirming treatments for children; the hospital said it settled "to protect our resources" while the DOJ coordinated the matter this week.
