The DOJ and Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost just announced a landmark settlement with the Cleveland Clinic: a 20-year ban on all transgender procedures performed on minors โ cross-sex hormones, puberty blockers, and surgeries, all halted. Plus $2 million specifically earmarked to care for detransitioners, including those who cannot pay. ๐๐ก๐ข๐ฌ ๐ข๐ฌ ๐ง๐จ๐ญ ๐ ๐ฉ๐จ๐ฅ๐ข๐๐ฒ ๐ฉ๐ซ๐จ๐ฉ๐จ๐ฌ๐๐ฅ. ๐๐ก๐ข๐ฌ ๐ข๐ฌ ๐ ๐๐ข๐ง๐๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ฅ๐๐ ๐๐ฅ ๐ฌ๐๐ญ๐ญ๐ฅ๐๐ฆ๐๐ง๐ญ ๐๐๐๐ค๐๐ ๐๐ฒ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐๐๐ฉ๐๐ซ๐ญ๐ฆ๐๐ง๐ญ ๐จ๐ ๐๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ญ๐ข๐๐.
But the headline buried under the headline is fraud. DOJ investigators found that Cleveland Clinic had been deliberately miscoding Medicaid billing to conceal what procedures were actually being performed on children.

On May 15, the department reached an agreement with Texas Childrenโs Hospital: end all gender-affirming care for minors, fund detransitioner care, pay millions in damages. Two of the most prominent pediatric institutions in the country, stopped cold.
The science they suppressed is not actually in dispute. According to the settlement, puberty blockers may cause permanent infertility and loss of bone density. Studies show most children diagnosed with gender dysphoria grow out of it by adulthood without intervention. Even so-called social transition has not been shown to improve mental health outcomes for children. ๐๐ก๐ ๐๐ฅ๐ข๐ง๐ข๐๐ฌ ๐ค๐ง๐๐ฐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐ฌ. ๐๐ก๐๐ฒ ๐ฉ๐ซ๐จ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ง๐ฒ๐ฐ๐๐ฒ ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐ฎ๐๐ ๐๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐๐ข๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ข๐ง๐ .
