I read every page of the $10 million settlement with Texas Children’s Hospital.
The headlines barely scratch the surface.
Here are 5 things hidden in the agreement that surprised even me.🧵

Here are 5 things hidden in the agreement that surprised even me.🧵

I blew the whistle on two doctors: but the government found THREE more.👀👀
I personally witnessed two physicians committing Medicaid fraud through the gender clinic. They allegedly falsified medical records, used vague diagnosis codes to conceal sex-rejecting hormones, and misdiagnosed patients so Medicaid would reimburse treatments it otherwise shouldn't: a flagrant violation of Texas law that went unchecked for far too long.
I knew about those two doctors: but what I didn't know was that as the government dug deeper, they uncovered three more physicians.
That stopped me in my tracks.
It means the corruption ran deeper than I ever imagined. There were more ideologues behind the curtain. More people willing to sacrifice children while taxpayers footed the bill.
They might have fired me, but I took 5 of their most devoted trans doctors with me.
No regrets.

Did you catch the language?
“Sex-Rejecting Procedures” has entered the chat.
“Gender-affirming care” is out.
That didn’t happen by accident. My incredible legal team fought to keep this language in the agreement—and succeeded. I’m told TCH was not thrilled about the change. 🖕🏼
For years, we've surrendered the language and allowed activists to wrap irreversible sex rejecting interventions in cute euphemisms designed to silence questions and disarm criticism.
No more.
Words matter because words shape reality.
And these procedures don't affirm a child's sex.
They reject it.

When I blew the whistle, I saw evidence of fraud starting in 2020. As the investigation continued to unravel, the government made a startling discovery: the fraud stretched back nearly TEN YEARS before that.
That realization broke my heart.
For nearly ten years, children were placed on a conveyor belt of chemical mutilation while taxpayers were allegedly footing the bill.
TEN. YEARS.
How many children could have been spared?
How many parents were never told the truth?
How many medical professionals saw what was happening...and stayed silent?

🚨The detransition clinic is far bigger than most people realize.🚨
The headlines focused on the “$10 million settlement.” Many asked: Is that enough? Will it really make a difference?
That’s only part of the story.
Experts estimate it will cost $20–25 million to build, staff, and operate this clinic over the next five years.
No amount of money can measure the harm these young people experienced. But for the first time, a hospital is being required to help repair the damage it helped create.
🚨This won’t just be the first clinic of its kind in America—it will be the first in the world.🚨
And there are no geographic restrictions. Patients can come from literally anywhere.
How wild is that????

There are a few things I will be watching like a hawk: here’s one of them.
The psychologists. The psychotherapists.
The people hired over the next 90 days will determine whether this clinic becomes a place of genuine healing—or simply another vehicle for the same destructive ideology that brought us here.
My prayer is that these positions are filled by professionals committed to biological reality, evidence-based medicine, and speaking truth with compassion.
Not activists.
Not ideologues.
Not people who confuse affirmation with care.
This settlement closed one chapter.
The next chapter begins now.
And I can promise you this:
We’ll be watching.
