“Gender-affirming care saves lives. Our beloved trans community is an integral part of our society, and trans children deserve to become trans adults. The federal government’s abuse of power and overreach into private medical decisions is a concerted effort to eliminate trans people from public life. This inhumane targeting of our children—using executive orders, funding threats, and harassment of hospitals and doctors as political leverage—is a violation of human decency. Shame on this administration for wagering the lives of our nation’s youth for political gain. When our young children tell us who they are, we are obligated to listen to them, love them, and support them in their journey. In Minnesota our laws protect our trans youth, their families, and the medical doctors and practitioners who provide health care to them."
The hospital stated that gender-affirming care is a life-saving treatment, but due to federal pressure, staff has chosen to temporarily suspend it.
