(Texas) — [LifeSiteNews.com] In an historic settlement, the nation's largest children's hospital has been ordered to fire five woke doctors who performed so-called "gender-affirming" medical procedures on minors, while also being compelled to create the first-ever "detransition clinic" to "reverse the damage caused by the ideologically-motivated physicians who harmed them."

Texas Children's Hospital (TCH) has entered into agreements with the US Department of Justice and the Texas Attorney General that include commitments not to perform such procedures on children, which include the administration of puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones. TCH has also agreed to collectively pay over $10 million in damages and civil penalties and to dedicate millions to the provision of medical care to children harmed by the provision of such procedures.

"Today is a monumental day in the fight to stop the radical transgender movement. This historic settlement reflects an institutional and fundamental cultural shift away from radical ‘gender' ideology. In addition to helping establish the first-ever Detransition Clinic and securing millions, this settlement will ensure that the deranged child mutilators who hurt our kids are fired and held accountable," said Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton.

"I applaud Texas Children's Hospital for changing course and committing to being a part of the solution by agreeing to form a first-of-its kind Detransition Clinic that will help provide free care to those who have been victimized by twisted, morally bankrupt transgender ideology," added Paxton.

"The Justice Department will use every weapon at its disposal to end the destructive and discredited practice of so-called ‘gender-affirming care' for children," said Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche. "Today's resolution protects vulnerable children, holds providers accountable, and ensures those harmed receive the care they need."... Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
