New details released on Texas Children’s Hospital’s planned detransition clinic | Houston Public Media
- Texas Children’s Hospital must establish a detransition clinic within 90 days as part of a settlement with the Texas attorney general.
- The agreement requires creation of a dedicated clinic website and a donate page to support detransition services.
- A 'Potential GAC Patient List' must be kept and reviewed internally to ensure compliance with laws and the settlement.
- The detransition clinic will offer multidisciplinary services including endocrinology, surgery, primary care, fertility counseling, psychiatry and psychotherapy.
- The city hospital will bar gender-affirming procedures described as 'sex-rejecting' under the settlement, including puberty blockers and hormone therapies.
- Texas Children’s also faced revocation of medical privileges for three current doctors and two former ones as part of the settlement.
- The hospital says the detransition services were already offered, and the clinic will formalize those existing services.
- The settlement term sheet indicates ongoing negotiations and that a final agreement had not yet been signed at the time of reporting.
- Harvard researchers cited a 2024 study noting less than 1% of minors receiving puberty blockers or hormone treatments.
