  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

The Cleveland Clinic Foundation has agreed not to provide transgender-related surgeries and hormone drugs for minors and give $2 million to fund detransition care as part of a legal agreement.

The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) announced that the Cleveland Clinic entered into an agreement with federal authorities and Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost.

Under the agreement, the Cleveland Clinic will pay $308,000 to resolve allegations that it submitted false billings to public and private payers to secure insurance coverage for so-called gender transition procedures on minors. The facility has also committed $2 million to provide care for individuals who regret their gender transition, commonly known as detransitioners.

Civil Division Assistant Attorney General Brett Shumate said in the announcement that he was grateful for the clinic’s decision “to be part of the solution” and “not part of the problem.”
