From Fox News: More hospitals are pulling back on providing “gender-affirming care” for youth patients, in accordance with a recent executive order against these practices.
Rush Medical Center in Chicago is the latest large health system to announce that it is stopping these gender-related treatments.
The hospital’s spokesperson, Tobin Klinger, confirmed to local outlets that it has “paused” hormonal therapies for new patients under 18.
Rush has not provided gender-related surgery for minors since 2023, according to Klinger.
The report notes that other hospitals are also backing away from the life-altering chemical mutilation of children, including NewYork-Presbyterian, who has changed their online verbiage and removed references to gender-affirming care for minors.
ADditionally, Stanford Medicine has also reportedly halted “gender-affirming surgeries.”
Cleveland Clinic also told Fox News in a statement that the clinic “does not provide gender-affirming treatments for patients under the age of 19.”
