Texas Children’s Hospital in Houston will establish a specialized clinic for patients looking to stop or reverse previous gender-transitioning treatments. This move is part of a 10-million-dollar legal settlement with the Texas Attorney General following an investigation into gender-affirming care. The new clinic will provide a variety of services, including mental health support, hormone care, and primary medical services. This legal agreement also requires the hospital to remove certain medical information from its website and revoke the privileges of several doctors.
