Texas Children's Hospital must openwhat is believed to be the country's first "detransition clinic" and pay the state $10 million as part of a settlement over transgender care for minors, Attorney General Ken Paxton announced Friday.
Why it matters: The settlement marks the latest move by Texas Republicans to restrict transgender rights as the state has enacted some of the nation's toughest policies targeting trans people, including limits on gender-affirming care for minors, sports participation and bathroom access.
