Following President Trump's executive order that targets transgender Americans' health care access, several major medical centers, including Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) Health, have suspended gender-affirming care for patients under 19. The order, which claims to safeguard children from 'chemical and surgical mutilation,' threatens to withdraw federal funding from institutions that provide such care. Despite gender-affirming procedures being legal in Virginia, this directive encourages hospitals across the nation to abandon these treatments due to legal risks. Advocates criticize the order for attempting to intimidate healthcare providers and undermine critical services.
Trump's executive order is simply another misguided, extreme attempt to will trans people out of existence.
We are committed to ensuring that we're always delivering care in accordance with the law.
