Our gender clinic has “paused” taking new patients. Appointments and therapies have been cancelled. My son’s next appointment is “safe” for now, but only because he’s already on the medicine. If this had happened just nine months ago, we wouldn’t be able to get it at Children’s. We would be scrambling to find options. Like other families are scrambling right now. Like families in 25 other states have been doing for years. And no one knows if things will change again—will the clinic close completely?
I really didn’t think Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin would cave, but the wording of the trans-hate executive order is such that they could lose ALL their federal funding, not just federal funding for the gender clinic.
What the republicans said they would do, they have done. How could you know my family and still vote for him?
I don’t get it.
