Texas Children’s Hospital was caught performing sex change operations, prescribing puberty blockers and other treatments on children as young as 11 years old after a whistleblower came forward in 2023. This led to a national outcry and they promised to shut down their gender-affirm care program. Texas also passed SB 14, prohibiting all transgender medical interventions on minors.
Now reports have emerged that two of the hospital’s prominent physicians, Richard Roberts and David Paul, cut corners and allegedly committed Medicaid fraud to secure funds to continue the hospital’s child sex change program.
We are asking everyone to send an email to each member of the hospital’s leadership team, demanding that they shut down the pediatric sex change clinic and terminate the employment of Richard Roberts and David Paul.
Thanks to Christopher Rufo for his work exposing this scandal.
