Cleveland Clinic Agrees to Stop Performing Trans Procedures on Children After DOJ Pressure

A second major medical institution with centers worldwide has announced its doctors will stop performing transgender procedures on minors. In a settlement with the U.S. Department of Justice, Ohio's renowned Cleveland Clinic will no longer provide transgender services like puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgeries to minors at its six medical centers for the next 20 years. In addition, the organization will pay $2 million toward de-transition care and $308,000 to resolve billing allegations. Dr. Kurt Miceli, Chief Medical Officer for Do No Harm, a medical organization that seeks to counteract youth-focused gender ideology, told CBN News the agreement represents a "momentous victory." "The evidence just simply isn't there in terms of pediatric medical transition," he said. "There's very low evidence of any benefit, and there's significant harm, significant risks. And that includes infertility, cardiovascular effects, the impacts to bone health, and certainly the surgeries."
