According to the NY Times

"At least six major hospitals across the country have recently agreed to stop providing gender-transition treatment to adolescents to end a wide-ranging Justice Department investigation into potential legal violations related to billing practices and consumer fraud.

"The <a class="break-all" href="https://archive.is/o/i8egd/www.nytimes.com/2026/05/15/us/detransition-transgender-clinic.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">wave of settlements includes <a class="break-all" href="https://archive.is/o/i8egd/www.nytimes.com/2026/09/18/nyregion/transgender-adolescents-nyu-langone-trump.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">hospitals in New York, Pennsylvania and Connecticut, states that have been supportive of access to the treatments. The hospitals have agreed to pay fines, and several will provide free medical care to former patients who wish to treat side effects or to 'detransition.'"

There's also an article in The Federalist that says that "some of the doctors who practiced in those hospital-based facilities have moved to their own privately managed operations, continuing to perform the same types of mutilating surgeries and hormonal interventions."

Interesting times.

Good
The thing that that article misses is that if the hospitals and drs had done nothing wrong when it comes to billing and/or treatment then they wouldn't have agreed to what amounts to a plee deal they would have fought the criminal charges in crt.
The hospitals and Dr's know that they have actively harmed children

Good.

This is very important and excellent news. My only concern is what happens when the democrats regain power. Does all this get undone again?

You have to remember that Al Capone eventually got sent down for tax evasion, not all his other crimes.

"follow the money"
It's <amazing> how true this always turns out to be.
So, they're not shut down because they're ghouls abusing "first, do no harm".
No, they're shut down because of the receipts.

Which means they'll have to pay for their own malpractice insurance, which may be very difficult to get what with all the lawsuits going on. We may see some of the butchers in jail yet.

I wonder if having insurance is optional depending on what State you practice in? I seem to recall reading somewhere that Sidhbh Gallagher (Irish doctor working in US) didn’t have medical insurance. I could be wrong on that, or even maybe it is dependent on which State she carried out her operations.

Why would a butcher like her care about insurance. She, along with her sister, be on the first Aer Lingus flight from Florida to Dublin the minute the first lawsuit lands.

Gosh, I remember her and her music laden Tik Tok videos. The juxtaposition of those upbeat videos, her beaming smile, those slang terms she used, with the reality of the Hell she was unleashing, really got under my skin.
What were those harmless sounding terms she espoused?

So, if doctors don’t have malpractice insurance, are their patients/vulnerable victims dependent on being able to go after their personal wealth. I’m sure they’d have it placed well out of reach, if so. Being the type of doctors who don’t carry malpractice insurance in the first place.

According to Google, a doctor can practice without it, it's called 'going bare' but if a patient sues and wins the court will go after the doctors personal wealth and has the power to liquidate assets and seize money.

This will be the consequence of this, I think.

'The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) today released a report Wolves in White Coats: How Doctors and Hospitals Pushed and Profited from the Fraud of “Gender Medicine,” a commissioned report examining insurance coding practices, perverse financial incentives, and the provision of sex-rejecting procedures for minors. Drawing on Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Guidance, Department of Justice (DOJ) investigations, peer-reviewed scientific literature, hospital records, whistleblower testimony, nationwide insurance claims analyses, and interviews with patients and parents, the report presents HHS’ findings and recommendations about the industry pushing and profiting off so-called “gender medicine.”'

I don't think so. Although that report I link to above is very Republican-leaning, my (very rough) understanding of US insurance systems is that insurance companies are not likely to placidly accept losing millions of dollars to tax fraud.

Sure, one day.
Demographic polling makes it pretty clear that this is inevitable unless people become more transphobic as they age, once the current generation of anti-trans voters age out of the population, even with the rise of the far right populism among young men.

TheywontletmehavethenameIwant · 25/09/2026 16:49

I also see no sign of the Dems changing their stance on this, so the next time they get in it will likely all be reversed. It's just a matter of whether they'll ever get back in, the DSA is doing them a lot of damage amongst ordinary people, and I think they're counting on Woke 2 to get them back in.

If you think opposition to child transition is going to ‘age out’ I think you have a big shock ahead

ArabellaScott · 25/09/2026 17:02

Oh, I'm sure that's exactly what will happen. Trans activists need do nothing and it'll all come right in the end in this best of all possible worlds. Glorious march of progress means society will become more and more accepting of child castration.

Shedmistress · 25/09/2026 17:12

Let's not forget the fraud stems from registering children as the wrong sex with low hormone levels. Not the right sex with the right hormone levels.

BridgetYourFortyDaysAreUp · 25/09/2026 17:14

The "younger generation" are normally somewhere on the scale of "don't care, not interested " to "yeah, whatever, be kind and all that" until they have their own children. Then the shit hits the fan, because "this is MY child, hands off" and because they have experienced real life (reality) by then. Because the "younger generations " grow up eventually, too. Most of them.

The Rainbow Collective of the Perpetually Offended is getting smaller and smaller.

And, yes, American insurance companies won't even pay out to those clients who haven't lied to them, without taking possession of somebody's first-born as collateral. They will NOT appreciate the publicity of fraud in the mix. I expect everyone's employer's premiums will jump in the next few years as the court cases roll in.

Sis is doing the admin. Yeet The Teets was twice lauded in the Irish Independent (main newspaper).

The pictures of the butchered girls chests used to be fully advertised, no idea if that’s still the case. It was a case of egging on other delusion teenagers/ young adults.

Whom are these "anti trans voters to die out"?
You mean the vast and increasing majority opposed to the main tenets of TRA, that kids can be medicalized, men can enter women's sports and enforced pronouns/ideas like TWAW.
This is 70% of the population in US as well as here, likely higher in reality
That's an <awful> lot of people who have to die out so you can win your argument. Not including all those young people who are more and more seeing how crazy this all is.

She may be the one person in this whole sorry societal misfire that made me absolutely hate them.
Plenty of prominent people in this industry only talk the talk.
She walked the walk.

fanOfBen · 25/09/2026 19:49

It's pretty difficult to reconcile the view that anti-trans voters just have to die out, with the polling observations that objection to trans-activists demands have been steadily growing over recent years. I mean, I'm proud when my "metabolic age" goes down year on year as I get more healthy in retirement, but... is the population getting younger?
