"The belief that all children deserve the opportunity to live, grow and thrive with love and support is foundational to who we are and what we do."
"We believe in a gender-affirmative model of care, which supports transgender and gender-diverse youth in the gender in which they identify."
"The proposed bans on medical care, sports participation and other legislation aiming to restrict the rights of transgender and gender-diverse youth are in direct opposition to our commitment to equity, diversity and inclusivity."
"We are here to affirm, uplift and advocate for transgender and gender-diverse youth and we remain committed to doing all we can to support their care and well-being."
Boston Children's Hospital is committed to providing healthcare for transgender youth, maintaining its gender service program despite pressures faced by other hospitals. A spokesperson emphasized the importance of allowing all children to thrive and expressed that the hospital adheres to a gender-affirmative model of care backed by scientific evidence. They condemned anti-trans legislation and stated such policies contradict their standards of equity and inclusivity. The hospital remains dedicated to supporting transgender and gender-diverse youth and advocates for their well-being amid ongoing challenges and threats from government entities.
