Vanderbilt University Medical Center's transgender clinic was originally quiet, only highlighting service hours and staff names. It gained attention after conservative commentator Matt Walsh's claims about staff comments.
The clinic aims to serve a high-risk population with mental and physical health issues, asserting its commitment to proper consent and ethical practices regarding care.
The controversy sparked increased scrutiny and led to a proposed ban on gender-affirming care in Tennessee, drawing public and political opposition from multiple groups.
Republican politicians rallied in response to the clinic's practices, as accusations of a profit motive in gender-affirming treatments emerged, igniting a heated public discourse.
