Texas Children’s Hospital<\/a> will create the country’s first “detransition clinic” as part of a settlement over a Texas investigation into gender transition care,\u00a0 Attorney General Ken Paxton announced Friday.<\/p>\n

The hospital will also have to pay $10 million, fire five doctors and no longer provide gender transition care at the hospital. The Chronicle has reached out to Texas Children’s for comment.<\/p>\n

Paxton referred to the Texas Children’s doctors as “woke” and “deranged child mutilators” in a quote touting the clinic, which he said would offer free care to people “victimized” by gender transition procedures.<\/p>\n

“Under my watch, I will investigate and bring the full force of the law against any Texas hospital that abuses children with harmful medical interventions to \u2018transition\u2019 kids,” Paxton said in a statement.<\/p>\n

The news release said Paxton secured the settlement “in coordination” with the U.S. Department of Justice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Texas Children’s Hospital will create the country’s first “detransition clinic” as part of a settlement over a Texas…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":294578,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[27,29,28],"class_list":["post-294577","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-texas","tag-texas","tag-texas-headlines","tag-texas-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/294577","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=294577"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/294577\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/294578"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=294577"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=294577"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=294577"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
