Texas Children’s Hospital has been compelled to create the nation’s first “detransition clinic,” as part of an agreement with the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Texas Attorney General’s office.

The May 15 agreement, which also includes a promise to pay more than $10 million in damages and civil penalties, came as part of a resolution of a federal investigation into the hospital’s “gender affirming care.”
