Ted Cruz Slams Texas Hospital for Allegedly Providing Transgender Treatments to Children as Young as Eight<\/h2>\n<p>Sen.

Cruz responded during a Wednesday interview with Newsmax to the footage that Project Veritas released last week of medical professionals at Austin-based Dell Children\u2019s Medical Center.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHeidi and I used to live in Austin, we\u2019ve taken our girls to Dell,\u201d Cruz said. \u201cAnd last week, Veritas went undercover and got them on film explaining their policy is they will <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/the-white-house-is-pushing-puberty-blockers-for-trans-kids-its-relying-on-a-problematic-study\/\" title=\"The White House Is Pushing Puberty Blockers for \u2018Trans Kids.\u2019 It\u2019s Relying on a Problematic Study.\">give puberty blockers<\/a> and suppressors to children as young as eight years old.

That is horrific. I think that\u2019s child abuse.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cruz has partnered with Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) to investigate what is going on at Dell Children\u2019s Medical Center. The two sent a letter to the hospital this week demanding information on their processes for diagnosing gender dysphoria, the number of minors treated for gender dysphoria, and whether children under the age of eighteen are allowed to consent to experimental medical procedures, among other things.<\/p>\n<h3>Questions Sent to Dell Children\u2019s Medical Center:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Please provide processes used by DCMC for diagnosing gender dysphoria.<\/li>\n<li>Please provide all internal and external correspondence regarding the process DCMC used to determine why they <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/cruz-slams-hospital-for-allegedly-giving-puberty-blockers-and-suppressors-to-children-as-young-as-8\/\" title=\"Cruz Slams Hospital For Allegedly Giving \u2018Puberty Blockers And Suppressors To Children As Young As 8\u2019\">began offering gender dysphoria treatment<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>How many federal dollars did DCMC receive in the last fiscal year?<\/li>\n<li>How many federal dollars were used in any activity related to gender dysphoria?<\/li>\n<li>How many minors has DCMC treated for \u201cgender dysphoria\u201d?<\/li>\n<li>What is the age of the youngest patient that DCMC has treated for \u201cgender dysphoria.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>How many detransitioners has DCMC treated?<\/li>\n<li>Does DCMC allow children under the age of eighteen to consent to experimental medical procedures?
