The story itself is neither. What can be counted is who has covered it, and 74% of the 35 rated outlets on it are rated right — so far this is a story carried mostly by the right. Coverage is still arriving and that can change, which is why the figure is dated rather than fixed.

Is the coverage of Texas Children's Hospital Opens Detransition Clinic biased?

Texas Children's Hospital Opens Detransition Clinic is one event reported by 42 outlets, and this page does not rate the story as biased or unbiased. What it publishes is the spread: which outlets ran it, where named rating organisations place each of them on the spectrum, and what each side chose to lead with. A leaning rating describes an outlet's record over time, not this article, and the two should not be run together.
