## Resource

Texas Childrens Hospital, the largest pediatric hospital in the U.S., has settled a lawsuit with Texas and the Trump administration over gender-affirming care for trans youth. The hospital will pay $10 million to the states Medicaid program and establish the nations first detransition clinic, offering free care for five years to reverse past treatments. The hospital stopped hormone treatments in 2022 after Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton called it child abuse and pushed investigations. Texas passed a ban on the care for minors in 2023, and the Supreme Court backed those laws in 2025. The hospital claims no wrongdoing but settled to avoid legal costs and focus on patient care. The Justice Department under acting AG Todd Blanche is cracking down on these treatments nationwide. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
