WVTF: VCU clinic begins to comply with Trump’s transgender healthcare ban on those under 19
"Early Thursday morning a mother in Richmond received a phone call. An appointment at VCU Health for her trans child had been canceled due to this week's executive order from the Trump administration.
Virginia Commonwealth University may be among the first public health systems in the U. S. to comply with President Donald Trump’s order banning gender affirming care for those under the age of 19. VCU announced it would no longer take part in medical and surgical procedures in a statement sent to Radio IQ Thursday evening.
For Kristen, the mother of a trans child who only used her first name out of fear for her safety, it was heartbreaking. Her daughter had an appointment Thursday morning that was canceled."
