America's biggest children's hospital has announced plans to halt its gender reassignment treatment for children as the deadline to comply with a new Texas law looms and damaging claims from whistleblowers emerge.
Mark Wallace, CEO of Texas Children's Hospital (TCH), on Wednesday wrote in an internal hospital memo that it would stop prescribing hormones to minors and help them get gender-affirming care, as it is known, across state lines.
Last week, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton launched an investigation into the Houston-based facility, saying puberty blockers and other trans 'medical experiments' violated state rules.
A whistleblower claims the hospital was rushing transgender kids onto puberty blockers and hormones when they would have been better off with mental health support. They also alleged that parents were 'scared' into allowing their children to have treatment.
The move to end the transgender treatment program follows Texas Republicans passing a law banning gender reassignment treatments for most minors, which is set to take effect in September.
'Over the next few months, Texas Children's will modify the gender-affirming care we offer to comply with the new law,' Wallace wrote in an email that was shared by the Manhattan Institute, a think tank.
'We will work with patients and their families to manage the discontinuation of hormone therapies or source appropriate care outside of Texas.'
Wallace said ending care for transgender youth was 'painful' and 'immensely heart-wrenching.' His staff would instead offer 'psychosocial support and any form of care we can within the bounds of the law.'
'I understand that there are many viewpoints and opinions related to this matter, but I want to remind everyone that our mission is to create a healthier future for all children,' he added.

......America’s biggest children’s hospital has announced plans to halt its gender reassignment treatment for children.......
Maybe we’re starting to get through to them!!!!
Now let’s see if Harvard starts listening to me on this subject!!!!
What self-delusion.
Unfortunately the biggest hospital in MA in Boston is going full-steam ahead. The libs won’t stop them.
Progress has been made.
The battle will become more intense. democrats are internally furious, and are preparing a WHOLE bag of dirty tricks to keep Republicans out of office. There will be the usual whores, the usual illegal prosecutions, the usual Russia-related stories, the usual million dead from a Chinese import. But there will be more. They have had 4 years to think and to plan. They will be very creative, but they will do something.
They have no principles. They don’t care about you and me.
He’s not deluded, he’s a lying sack of garbage.
Sounds like they’re being forced by TX law, not any nobility.
bttt
I worked across the street from the “Texas Medical Center” for twelve years.
I was a lone voice crying in the wilderness.
They’ve been a liberal institution for over 20 years.
This is just outrageous.
Hospital care is in very shorty supply.
Who knew that this Satanic perverted malpractice of medicine was even occurring? Against children, no less.
These people including doctors and hospital CEO should all go to prison.
