""cowardly capitulation sacrificing trans youth.""
""This is terrible," and "Those kids need support now more than ever," adding that they were "furious" over this "weak and pathetic" action."
""Fenway Health cutting off access to medical treatment for trans youth is shameful and unnecessary. There is no need for this.""
Fenway Health will stop providing gender-affirming care to patients under 19 in order to comply with Health Resources & Services Administration regulations tied to federal funding. The federally qualified health center serves more than 30,000 patients and said its priority remains the "health, safety, and continuity of care" for those affected. The HRSA said it is no longer prioritizing funding for programs that engage in gender-affirming care, including puberty blockers, hormones, and surgeries. The decision generated sharp criticism from community members, former board members, and local officials who urged contacting state authorities.
