Texas is opening up a detransition clinic

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton secured a settlement with Texas Children's Hospital that compels the hospital to create the country's first-ever clinic for people who detransition. (If you don't know what detransitioning means or entails, this series from The 19th will catch you up to speed.)

The clinic will "help patients reverse the damage caused by ideologically-motivated physicians who harmed patients by performing dangerous medical interventions for the purpose of "transitioning" them," according to a press release. The hospital didn't comment on its plans to roll out the clinic, though the settlement ensures that services will be free for the first five years.
