I’m a live and let-live type (as well as a former TCH employee), and fully support anyone who wants to detransition for whatever reason.
Yet there is simply zero need for a dedicated program at the end of the day — this is raw fascist political theater. Any run-of-the-mill pediatric endo and mental health provider are typically sufficient. It’s not that medically complex to go in reverse; you’re just trying to kickstart the HPGA back into gear and let endogenous hormones resume.
Devil’s advocate: Maybe this new group could treat a few weird cases where a kid was intersex and did have some corrective surgery they want undone? But nope, Texas Children’s already has a dedicated team of world-class urogenital anomaly specialists who are exactly the people you’d want for that.
