Texas Hospital Shuts Down Major Transgender Clinic for Kids After Months of Protesting"This is what relentless pro-family activism can accomplish! Even arrogant high-ranking state politicians can be forced to do the right thing." – Texas MassResistance
Dallas Children's Medical Center and UT Southwestern Medical Center quietly shuttered the program, known as GENder Education and Care, Interdisciplinary Support (GENECIS), late last month, the Dallas Express reported. In a statement to media outlets, Children's Medical Center and UT Southwestern said that they will continue to accept new patients for evaluations of gender dysphoria, but will no longer offer transgender hormone drugs. "Pediatric endocrinology, psychiatry and adolescent and young adult care coordinated through [GENECIS] are now managed and coordinated through each specialty department," the statement added. The hospitals said that they "do not anticipate any interruption of care or services for our existing patients," however. Hospital officials have not given a reason for the sudden closure of GENECIS, which came amid blistering pressure from Texas parents and weeks of protests aimed directly at hospital board members and donors. GENECIS, the only "gender-affirmation" program in the Southwest for children, gave irreversibly damaging hormone blockers to kids as young as 10 and claimed on its now-defunct website to have "impacted thousands of youth across the country." The clinic also made referrals for mutilating transgender "sex change" surgeries. Children's Medical Center has since removed all online references to GENECIS, as well as links to pro-transgender activist organizations, like the Transgender Education Network of Texas and Lambda Legal. Grassroots pro-family groups that organized protests against the clinic hailed the collapse of GENECIS as a major victory for vulnerable children. Click here to continue reading.
