Texas AG Settles with Washington Children’s Hospital over Transgender Care Ban

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has reached a settlement with Seattle Children’s Hospital, dropping his request for information about transgender patients from Texas in exchange for the hospital withdrawing its business license in the state. The settlement comes amid a state law enacted last September that bans gender-affirming care for trans youth. Paxton’s office is also embroiled in a legal battle over whether the state can open child abuse investigations into parents who provide this type of care for their children.
