Texas Children’s Hospital announced on Wednesday that it would be making changes to its sex-change program to comply with recently passed legislation.

The hospital’s president and CEO, Mark Wallace, called the changes “heart-wrenching” and “painful” in an email posted to Twitter on Wednesday. He vowed to refer minor patients out of state so that they could continue to receive the so-called treatment.

Wallace blamed the recent passage of Senate Bill 14, which “prohibits procedures and prescription treatments for gender transitioning, gender reassignment and gender dysphoria” of minors.
